⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reread.
Everytime I read these books it feels like coming home. And with every reread I seem to discover a deeper meaning.
They gave me somewhere to escape to and changed me for the better ❤️✨

Another reread for the Binge Mode podcast. Enjoyed this even more than the first read, especially seeing how JK is really setting the stage for a lot of action in Hallows.

<SPOILERS>
Voldemort is only getting stronger, but no one will listen to Harry and his suspicions about Draco and Snape. Harry does amazingly well in potions due to his textbook's previous owner, The Half Blood Prince, but who's book was it?  Harry has private "lessons" with Dumbledore where he repeatedly enters the pensieve to watch the memories of others to learn about Voldemort's younger years. he is tasked with getting the real memory from Slughorn which seems to be the missing piece. Harry learns about the horcruxes and that there are possibly 6 of them. Harry and Dumbledore head out to find a Horcrux and ultimately Dumbledore dies.
