Hell! The movie wasn't this sad! 😭

Seriously, I was annoyed by Draco Malfoy from book 1-5, but in this book... he was so miserable. Even Harry Potter himself pitied him. Malfoy was less cocky and more pale and ill-looking in this book. The scene in the bathroom somehow wrenched my heart; he was indeed just a boy.

Anyway, this book tells a hella good romance between Harry and Ginny. I liked the book version more than the film. I'm curious though, why did they add that muggle girl in the opening scene of the movie? It seemed unnecessary and made Harry look less interested in Ginny.

For someone who never watched the movie, this book delivered a big shocking twist at the end. And a big heartbreak as well! It was really well-written, so you could feel the thrill, sadness, and misery.

I didn't find any flaws in this book. I may be biased, but so far, this is my favorite book of the series! 5 stars deserved! ⭐
