Harry Potter is a wizard. He is in his second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The three friends, Harry, Ron and Hermione, are soon immersed in the daily round of Potions, Herbology, Charms, Defence Against the DarkArts and Quidditch. Then mysterious and scary things start happening. First Harry hears strange voices, and then Ron's sister, Ginny, disappears ...
Me queda claro que Harry no quiere gastar ni un "peso" del dinero que tiene en Gringotts, así sea que destruyó propiedad ajena, así sea que el equipo donde juega necesite nuevas escobas jaja
I have always wondered why anyone would hire Gilderoy Lockhart, and then I started working in international schools; it makes perfect sense because, when in need, they hire absolutely anyone without an actual care for their abilities or expertise. It's scary.
Only benefit of Lockhart: Snape's appearances in the novel decrease in order to show how incapable Lockhart is.

One of the things I would've liked to have seen was more focus on the Malfoys (less so Draco, more so Lucius); Dobby's appearances, as a stand-alone text, feel weird and out of place. He feels superfluous to the story, only acting as a random events to Harry. If it didn't set things up later, I'd be really frustrated with Dobby's existence.
