The thickest book and most complicated book from HP series I have read. The development of main character is well told.
The story also make me fell annoy but intrigue an the same time

Although the book is obviously extremely dark and sad, there are a lot of key elements to this book that are majorly important. We get to meet the lovely Professor Umbridge! I will stand by the fact that she is worse than Voldemort, HA! She is quite literally the worst character in this franchise — I have never hated a character more than I hate her! She is a superb villain though, and this book does an amazing job at making me seethe whenever she is in a scene, complete with her obnoxious little cough. I do love the way that the other professors react to her though, especially Professor McGonagall. We also of course love the centaurs, obviously.
I do love that we get more insight into Snape’s past and the reasoning behind his deep hatred of Harry. However, this does open another can of worms for me with my opinion on Snape. Specifically, that exact hatred of poor Harry for something that his father did to him…but I will not go into that! Regardless, it is a great part of the story and it adds a lot of depth to Snape’s character development, so I do appreciate it.
Of course there is one part of this book that I will never be able to get over and if you know, you know. I will not discuss it here, but I swear I will never recover from it.
This book does a fantastic job with its storytelling and setting the reader up for the rest of the series. I am excited to read Half Blood Prince next and to continue being at Hogwarts at the peak of all of the chaos! I rate this book 5/5 stars! 🌟
