I spent a little time debating whether I would should give this book three or four stars. It was not the best of the series by far, which is why I did not give it five stars. But it certainly wasn't a bad book, which is why I thought four stars would be good. Then I realized, if it were truly a great book, it would not have taken me nearly a year to read it. Now part of that is my own laziness, I won't deny that. But I feel I would have been more compelled to read it if it deserved four stars. So three it was! Now none of the Harry Potter books suck by any means, but this might be the worst of the ones I've read so far. But I can't wait to read the next two books and finish up the series!

This is definitely one of my favs... love all of the Remus and Sirius moments and I love how much Harry loves teaching defense in the DA.

It's a Harry Potter book. It's okay, in my opinion, I liked the second half more where the stakes are higher. The series does get better as it goes on, but I overall still don't like the series as books.
