Here's my HP Medicinal Re-Read write-up. From the post... 
 "At the risk of beating a dead basilisk into the ground, I want to talk about why Chamber of Secrets is one of my least favorite books in the series. And, for the record, I agree with Jennie that saying that is like picking your least favorite kind of chocolate chip cookie. But in the cookie comparison, Chamber of Secrets is like a thin and crispy chocolate chip cookie that softens when you dunk it in a glass of milk. However, it's definitely not the thick and chewy chocolate chip cookie that's warm from the oven, where the middle is still a little gooey. Both are frickin' amazing and both have their place in the cookie spectrum, but MOST of the time I'm going to pick the warm cookie. 
 "This time around I tried to figure out why I feel that way. And I think it's because I don't get the same warm, gooey feelings about the new supporting characters (*cough* Dobby and Lockhart *cough*) in this book as I do in the others. I've softened towards the house elf and the egotist with time, but it's not enough to endear me to this book forever. So there's that." 
 Also, I make a lot of Ryan Seacrest jokes.
