Harry Potter: The Prequel

I can't believe I'm giving Harry Potter content this low of a rating but, man... This short story had no point, it didn't make me feel anything at all. It was almost cringe content.

My HP Universe challenge has been making me increasingly frustrated as I've finished all the main books. I'm now working my way through Pottermore collections and things like this. And it just seems clear to me that JK is willing to sell us any old junk for $2.99 and warp the original story all kinds of ways. (That particular opinion has nothing to do with this prequel- but I feel it needs to be said.) This installment just seemed cheap to me.

A cute, short reread (though I'm nearly positive I read it years ago) for the sake of GR completeness. This one still makes me smile and laugh a lot. It had to fit on a card, so it never does explain where it was going or why, but that's not the point. It's Sirius and James being Sirius and James in a dark place/dark time, and still managing to be themselves perfectly.

To call this a prequel is really misleading. The ecopy is 4 pages and it's really just a small scene of what could potentially lead to a prequel. I enjoyed it well enough though.

This was an extremely short "prequel" that was released to the public for free in ebook formats in 2008. It is only 4 pages long and I managed to read it in about 5 minutes.
Although I love J.K.Rowling's writing style, there was nothing to this really and though it's described as a prequel, it's more of a short extract from a book that I bet all Harry Potter fans are craving; a book about The Marauders, Sirius and James, but fun short read all the same.

I would love to read books about the Marauder era. This was fun just because it's Harry Potter, a series which I love, but it's to short and without substance, it just let the reader hang there without anything special at all. Though I loved to read young Sirius and James. Wish she would write this era properly.

I officially decided to start a reread of the entire Harry Potter series! It's been too long, frankly, and I never read them in english, so I thought this would be a perfect time to do that, starting from this prequel!
James and Sirius, how much I loved them! Strange to say, but I love this little story as much as I love the "real" books. There's just something about two that pull at my heartstrings!
