It was just okay. I didn’t think this book was as fantastic as everyone mentioned. Oh, almost everyone, I should say. When the first book was out, some people wanted to born all the Harry Potter books because Harry Potter uses magic. Now, the Harry Potter books are used to get more people to go back to church.
