Idk if it's because I haven't read this book as much as the first four books in the series or if it's because so much of the content wasn't included in the movie and felt very nostalgic to read again, but I LOVED this book. It's easily the best in the series so far. New characters, new locations (love love love the end of this book and everything that happens at the Ministry of Magic), lots of teen angst (which used to be annoying to read, but now I'm just like, "Yep, I totally get it, Harry. Let it all out."), a new villain in Dolores Umbridge (who honestly is way worse than Voldemort)... This book has it all, and I am here for it.
