I finished re-reading this with my daughter awhile ago and forgot to log it.
At this point, the series doesn't hold as much interest for my daughter at her age (5). There are fun concepts and exciting scenes for her, but it's overlong in parts and some of the side plots are just sort of dull. However, my daughter's review when I asked her for it was “Thanks, that was a very good book”, so maybe she enjoyed it more than I thought.
After we finished this, we started the Order of the Phoenix, which is a lot more plodding than this, and only made it a handful of chapters in before abandoning it for now. We'll try again in a year maybe to continue the series.
I still like this book, but have always preferred the simpler and shorter first three books.
