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.🙄Graphic: Death of parent, Emotional abuse, Violence, Bullying, Child abuse, Gaslighting, Torture, Blood, Physical abuse, Toxic friendship, War, and Toxic relationship

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…🫠

As books for teens/young adults go, I wouldn't say this is the best series, but if you're a fan of the movies, I'd absolutely recommend reading the books
