I really thought that this book was going to be a home run; however, I can't say this was Rowling 's best. The first half was super slow and it wasn't until the second half that the character s came together and the story line rolled on. 

Question: Is the plot as good as the narrative?
Answer: The first half was super slow and it was n't until the second half that the character s came together and the story line rolled on
