I mean, it’s Harry Potter. This is my favorite in the series, the beginning of the end and the one that turns the corner into more adult situations.

Oh my god, this was the longest book I've ever read at the time of writing. It took a while to finish. I truly enjoyed this book. I love that even though the Dursleys abuse Harry, he has found a family in Hogwarts. This was action-packed and I loved that. People around him truly cared about him. Oh, I loathe Professor Umbridge! Lol. She was evil, to say the least. Good thing, she was out of Hogwarts. But, oh Sirius Black died😭 Harry was devastated that his godfather passed😭 Also, I liked that Harry grows in every book, I mean, not all good changes because he is flawed, but for a teenager, I say it's progress. Btw, Hagrid was so sweet to take his half-brother home. It's so cute that he called Hermoine, Hermy😂 Oh well, loved this❤️ P. S. The press was so cruel toward Harry, he's just a kid for goodness sake. It made me so sad and mad at the same time.🙄

Ahhh!!! Love this one so much! Reading Harry Potter as an adult gives you a different perspective than the one from childhood. I found this installment profoundly deep and thought provoking.  Despite the dark turn that this series has taken, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it!

Dragged out a little too long, author rarely deepens the critism she teases, Ultimately a very black and white view on many things.
If you want a deeper analysis watch the video on the YouTube channel "Shaun".
