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!

By far, the most heartbreaking book of the series...I forgot how sad this series gets until I read this book. Still a good read but not my favorite
