A Not-Review Commentary on Harry Potter IV



After you have beheld my skills with MS Paint, let me explain the reason behind that perfectly executed question mark.
I have read the Harry Potter series books one through three and five through seven. It took me two years to pick up the fourth, and for me, the final. It wasn't the maddening length or the strange color scheme of the cover (mmmm not a fan). As a matter of a fact, I have no idea why I never read the fourth Harry Potter book. I even left it out of lists when naming the books of the series. For some reason far back in my mind, it just did not seem important.

Okay.

So it was kind of important. After all of these years I have finally read the fourth book and am actually quite pained by the fact that I never picked it up beforehand. I mean honestly, veelas, Hermione's-almost-lovah, Voldemort comes back, someone dies?? It was out of control! And now the rest of the series has several little holes filled in for me. I was rather at a loss for several explanations of events and characters. So now it has all come full circle.

Aaaand despite his being a stupid ferret-type, I am still deeply and madly in love with Draco Malfoy (look at that intensity!). They should have support groups for this sort of thing.
