Though there are many hints of the darkness to come (gulp), the tone is largely playful and the story and setting are as imaginative as ever. And it is here that Ms. Rowling, through Dumbledore, quietly states a message that goes to the heart of the series: &#8220;It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>About a year and a half ago, after we enjoyed reading <a href=\"https:\/\/inside-of-a-dog.net\/?p=403\">the first book<\/a> in this series together, I read half of this second book to my oldest before he lost interest. Now a number of his friends are reading the series and he decided to give it another try. He raced through the rest of the book (mostly by himself) in a matter of days and then hopped straight into the third and fourth books in the series.<\/p>\n<p>Author: J.K.
