I've read it twice now, first time it came out and within the last weeks again as a bedtime story. Since the books came out I've watched the movies over and over, most of them multiple times a year - and I didn't remember how different the third book is from it's movie adaptation. There are not only left parts out (which I find completely normal seen as the book is way too long for a movie) but pretty big parts are displayed differently. The huge fight between Hermione and the boys and leaving her stranded by herself and isolated didn't really show up at all. It made me go *hmmm* because I never really felt Hermione was unfairly treated in the movies - but she was in this book. And she never really got a heartfelt apology... instead it was her who apologized to Ron (even though the end revealed she had nothing to apologize for). So the third book left me with way more sympathy toward Hermione than toward the boys. (Not that I ever was impartial here anyway...

Ich kann gar nicht mehr genau sagen, wie oft ich die Reihe inzwischen gelesen habe, aber es ist immer wieder einfach toll, nach Hogwarts zurückzukehren. Und mit so einer wunderschönen Ausgabe macht es gleich doppelt Spaß. Die Illustrationen sind so liebevoll und detailreich, dass ich sie einfach Stunden lang anschauen könnte. Ich hatte wieder eine tolle Zeit mit Harry, Hermine und Ron und freue mich auf mehr.
