This is definitely my favorite of the series, thus far. It would be appropriate to refer to it as an epic. It’s dark. In many ways analogous to the world. And I realize that the author is so mindful of the developmental mindset of the ages of the characters. Man, this one is so good.

I'm in quite a lazy mood and I don't want to write a professional review with segues and quotes so here's a list of things I loved about this book

Umbridge - I just love to hate her. Honestly, it brings me so much twisted joy to mutter "fork you, Umbridge"

Umbridge being stood up to - Every time someone stood up to her, I smiled, laughed, and reread the scene.

More reveals - We get even more information about Harry and Voldemorts connection. Things are really starting to heat up and I can't wait for the next book because it's very info-dumpy which I love.

Dumbledore's Army - YASSSSSSSSSSSS

Dumbedore and his eternal oldness and wisdom - Double YAS

Graup - Such a dangerously huge, sweet lil sweetheart

Luna Lovegood - Honestly, one of the best characters from Harry Potter

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - ★★★★☆
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - ★★★★★
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - ★★★★☆
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - ★★★★☆
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoneix - ★★★★★
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - ★★★★★
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow - ★★★★★

Darker than I remembered. A little too long. But I loved the focus on Neville Longbottom throughout the book. He made the book better, just by being himself.

Dolores Umbridge is as terrible as I remembered her in the books. But it makes me excited to watch the movies again.

I’d say this is the best book I’ve read in the series, but it will be my last. Love the books, but I feel like there’s just too much dialog and most of it doesn’t add to the overall story. I’m mostly interested in the meat & potatoes story and I think the movies will give me that past this point.
