I really hate Dumbledore and Harry Potter rash action here

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

Everyone in this book is insufferably whiny, yet I still am distraught over Sirius’ death. Go figure.

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.🙄
