[HPforGrownups] CoS Is The Least Favorite HP Book. Why?

[Christina Davis]

No: HPFGUIDX 27376

Good question.  It's been my least favorite book since I read all four but I 
had no idea that was also the popular opinion.  I don't know why this is...I 
believe it's the shortest book (I don't have my books on me so I could be 
quite wrong)...for me I think it comes down to it has the least meat of all 
the books...CoS does have Tom Riddle, the confirmation of Harry as a 
Parselmouth, the Gryfinndor sword and a few other important canon items but 
it still seems lacking. The other three books all emotionally grabbed me, 
kept me glued to my seat until I was finished with the book and left me 
speechless, the second did none of these.

"I plan to make a diorama," said Draco solemnly.
"No," said Lupin patiently, "not that kind of creativity."
"But it'll be an evil diorama. And then Harry can destroy it."
Lupin's voice held a warning tone. "Draco."
