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.🙄

cozy_academic's review against another edition

I couldn't finish the book because the way Harry, Ron, and Hermione treat each other as "friends" in this book made me not want to pick it up. I understand their age and the circumstances, but I got to chapter 15 and had enough of the three of them constantly at each others' throats. By this point in the book, their attitudes towards each other felt painful to read, especially since

Ron and Hermione are supposed to be a romantic couple by the end of the series. In this book, their relationship reads as a trauma bond without having actual respect for one another.

Ooof, things are getting darker. This one is always a difficult read as we lose another loved one with Harry. The war is escalating and we ultimately see major heartbreak as Harry struggles throughout the the year only to experience another loss.
