For me this book was so much better than the Philosophers stone.

The book focused on character development, although Percy really got on my nerves. But, still she developed the characters and they matured in a way that you'd hardly notice. Plus she showed the changes in relationships with Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley.

I must admit that, for once, I never got bored of this book. It was full of action and the ending was just brilliant!
