I like the character of Sirius Black
I think I liked everything about this, but I think my favourite character is probably Sirius Black
I liked the character called Lupin.
I liked the character Sirius Black.
It was a good book
This book is very interesting.
I really enjoyed this book. My favourite part was when Harry finally produces his potronas spell which turned out to be a stag.
It was long and it kept me interested, there were five different parts to the story that all linked together at the end and made sense.
Harry is my favourite character
Quite scary and fun to read
In my opinion, this book is the best in the Harry Potter series, introducing a great array of new characters in an exciting story. My favourite character is Sirius Black and I would recommend this book very highly.
This fiction book written by JK Rowling was in my opinion the best book in the series. I believe that it was the turning point from a safe and adventurous world to one that is harsh and cruel. I particularly enjoyed the dynamics between character the development they show throughout the book. My favourite character for this particular book is Remus Lupin as I found him to be a very complex character; there is an air of mystery that surrounds this character that I enjoy yet he also possesses a kind heart and is a great mentor to Harry Potter. I think that this book highlighted the priorities of the golden trio very well; it showed Ron’s loyalty as he stood before Harry to protect him; it showed Hermione’s intellectual prowess as she travelled through time and unraveled the secrets Remus kept; and finally it highlighted Harry’s curiosity and need to know every detail surrounding his life as the main plot of the novel surrounded his efforts to unravel the secrets of his families past along with the past of Sirius Black.
I liked when he did his petronus.
I read this with my mum, I loved it because I love the magic and how Harry finds out that Sirius black did not betray his parents
I love this book
