Ever since Harry Potter had come home for the summer, the Dursleys had been so mean and hideous that all Harry wanted was to get back to the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry.

This is utterly insulting.
The only saving grace might be that the author hates Year 2 and might recover a bit for Year 3… might. But nothing of that is published yet.
Woah, going from five stars to one in just 10½ rather short chapters. (Even less, considering most …

Woah, going from five stars to one in just 10½ rather short chapters. (Even less, considering most of the story was still good enough.) This has to be some kind of record.
