Just finished the fifth book
for this year and I am well on for my target. With regards to this book as it
has been a while since I last read the series as a whole I almost forgot how
funny some of the characters are, in the book, compared to the films.
I have definitely missed the
depth of charters and the bond you build with them. And actually some of the
imagery, now that I am older and have seen more gruesome films, seems actually
very vivid.
For instance at the
Quidditch world cup, when the Death Eater riot takes place, as a young child
this part didn’t bother me. The muggles being floated in the air, whilst not
nice had had an almost playful imagining in my head. Whereas this time through
I found it rather disturbing. I think it just goes to show that as children we
don’t process imagery the same way and I have enjoyed having my own experience
of the book change.
At around half way through
the book I completely remembered why I love these books soo much and why I was
always so disappointed with the films. The films, in my opinion, completely
lack the humour expressed in the books. I literally was laughing out loud on
the bus whilst reading. The film cut out so many characters that half of the
jokes become irrelevant or make no sense.
Overall I have thoroughly
enjoyed this re-read I think leaving it a couple of years has been great as I
am re-discovering the joy I experienced the first time round.
