Rowling should stick with children's books. The HP series and subsequent "spin-offs" were excellent and there is great character development in this one, but the overall story moves extremely slow. By the third or fourth chapter, one would expect the plot to get interesting but that isn't the case with this book. I found myself sticking with it just to finish it rather than any desire to find out what happens. It took a lot of concentration just to get through it. I was very disappointed.
