*Read the second time for the 2016 reading challenge: a book that's guaranteed to bring you joy* 
 The second time reading this I just realized how much of the plot and important information is put in the last 50 pages or so. The ending could have been a bit longer for my taste. However, this will always be one of my favourite books of this series. I absolutely love the character of Remus Lupin and the backstory of the time of Hogwarts of the Marauders and Snape.
