Only not a 5* due to racist appearance statements that were completely unnecessary - “worms coming out of her head” “dark one”

Everyone in this book is insufferably whiny, yet I still am distraught over Sirius’ death. Go figure.

5 out of 5 ☆’s.
“Kreacher's information made him realize that the one person whom you would go to any lengths to rescue was Sirius Black.”

5 stars for Sirius.
I knew what was awaiting me in this book - but that doesn’t mean that reading about it happening hurt me any less (we are not going to discuss the tears that were shed during the mirror scene 🥲).

OOTP surprised me! Once I started this book and realized that I had reached the point in the series where the characters began to “hunker down” for safety (so to speak) I was a bit worried that I would get bored & wouldn’t enjoy this story as much as I had hoped - but that didn’t end up being the case! I actually found myself wishing for more Grimmauld Place scenes and moments!
ੈ✩‧₊˚
Umbridge is still as heinous as I remember. I still think that she should’ve been left with the centaurs to be honest…🫠

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!
