I’m sticking with the British editions. It is especially fitting for this one because i was in Europe when it was released, and for those of you who remember this was the last one to be released in the UK before the US. So i got it and read it before it was released in the US. I was on a trip to Dover. We got the book in a really cute bookshop then I started reading on the hovercraft ride across the Channel back to the mainland to drive back to Brussels. I had it read before I went to sleep that night.

arguably the best in the series (i am reserving judgment until i have all seven reread at least 5 times) This one sets the tone for the growing up of Harry and friends and really starts the darkness that have really transformed this series.
