For Harry Potter, it’s the start of another far-from-ordinary year at Hogwarts when the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and comes to an abrupt halt in front of him.

It turns out that Sirius Black, mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, has escaped – and they say he is coming after Harry.

In his first Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry’s tea leaves.

And perhaps most frightening of all are the Dementors patrolling the school grounds with their soul-sucking kiss – in search of fresh victims.

Il signor Potter sviene un po' troppe volte
Adoro Jordan, il cronista del Quidditch, mi fa morire. Mi stanno piacendo molti personaggi, ma provo indifferenza per Harry.

Tra le altre cose, qui farò la scoperta dell'acqua calda, la Rowling è parecchio grassofobica, tra le altre fobie che ha. Le persone grasse sono cattivissime o sono stupidissime. Avrà un qualche trauma o semplicemente è una fanatica della linea.

My absolute, undoubted, incontestable favourite of the entire series, There's very little I can say against this book. I don't remember as much detail of my first reading as I'd wish...

I have a vague, indistinct memory of hearing the Aunt Marge blow-up and subsequent escape in the evening, reading about Harry finishing his homework in a sunny afternoon: how much of the latter image is taken from the book itself is hard to judge, looking back. A memory I know to be accurate is very vivid indeed; one of the book's cassettes got spectacularly stuck in the tape player of my grandmother's car and I subsequently finished the book whilst missing one of the sides. It was chapter 18, or a part thereof, or a part around that area of the book: an exciting one, anyway; and eventually the battered tape was removed with tweezers and I finished it …

While this is my favorite movie, I think it is only my second-favorite book. I love a good time travel story.

Upon this reading, I really started thinking about how Dumbledore moves people to take specific actions. He seemed very confident with the cryptic hits he gave Harry and Hermione in the hospital wing at the end. And even more still, he does this type of redirection of characters throughout the series. Why would he repeatedly put children into jeopardy. He’s supposed to be a caring and responsible adult.

The more I think about this, the more I believe Dumbledore is much, much better at Divination than he ever lets on. He even minimizes the subject in several books, including this one. Maybe he has his own time turner.
