Turns out that my timing for this couldn’t have been better. I was sick. Sicker than I have ever been in my life. Like turn off the lights and sit in a cold, dark room for a week sick. I couldn’t read more then a few pages at a time and if I had been reading something that was unknown to me I would probably have to start it over. Since I knew the plot of this already, I came out of my haze and was able to carry on without being lost. So no need to worry about reading time lost, it would have been either way. Whew… because this was my big worry, and I am not very good at giving myself a break.
So, did I like it? In a way, yes, because it was kind of a comfort. Did it stand up to my memories of the first time? No, it did lose some of the magic. But the part that was very fun and new was that I had never read any of these book when I knew what was coming next and so to see all of the foreshadowing and Easter egg laying that Rowling did was really great. So, for that I am thankful.
But I am still not a re-reader.
