This used to be my least favorite out of all the books in the Harry Potter series.  That's definitely not the case anymore (I'll give my new ranking for the series once I finish the final book).  The Voldemort backstory stuff (which I found rather boring before) is SO GOOD now.  The ending is extremely emotional and leaves you excited to read the seventh novel.  Just one more to go!

I’m a huge Harry Potter fan so I love all the books and have read/listened to them multiple times. This is one of my favourites as it starts to dig into the darker and more complicated parts of the story, helping us better understand the link between Harry and Voldemort. I also like the deepening relationships between Harry and Dumbledore and Harry and Ginny and more focus on Snape and Malfoy as it makes the story richer and more mature as the characters get older.

 I finished this last night but felt so numb after that I couldn't think of what to write here. I enjoyed this one more than the previous, but it is so far the darkest of the series.

Despite having Sheldon Cooper spoil the big thing for me in this while watching big bang theory (when he spoiled it for Leonard), I had kind of forgotten it and had no idea it would go down how it did. In a way it's good that it went down how it did but man that was so tough to get through.
