I have to admit that I did NOT like this book as much as I liked all the other books have read so far in the series, I am slightly disappointed at how frustrated I was with the Book only 30% through the Book. That made it extremely hard for me to continue reading the book because I was just so frustrated. I managed to get through the entire book, but sadly, I was not as impressed with it as i expected given how unnecessarily long it was. Overall, it was not a bad book, though.

This book is loooooooong. But so goooooooooood. It's probably going to be one of my faves from the series, which is probably why it took me less time to finish it than the Goblet of Fire. I think the end of the last book marked the tone for the rest of the series, which is being painful af. I feel so much for Harry. He's been through so much, and during this book seeing him struggle with that was hard. While reading the end of the book I had to stop reading quite a few times because I couldn't stop crying, I genuinely could feel the pain and the anger he was feeling. Anyway, I love Sirius Black and I wanted to see so much more from him, so much more. I knew it was coming but it didn't stop for being painful. Sirius Black deserved so much better!!!!!!!! I'm sad.

Random thoughts:
- I truly enjoyed reading how everyone was being so supporting of Harry teaching them Defence Against the Dark Arts, and acknowleging that he really knows what he's talking about.
- McGonagall taking no shit from Umbridge might be one of my favourite things ever.
- Fuck Umbridge, fuck Fudge and fuck the Ministry of Magic.
- Ron being jealous of Hermione still being in contact with Krum!!!!!! And the fact they act like a married couple and even Harry notices that. GOD BLESS.
- Those little snippets of Ginny/Harry... I like it! A lot. Ginny is... great? I'm so excited to explore that more in the next book.

Five books down, two more to go!
