This is probably one of my favorite of the Harry Potter series! Such good moments. It makes me laugh, cry and think. It’s a reread book for sure.

It’s a few years since I last read this particular HP book, and I had forgotten how special it was. Learning more about Voldemort’s past, upbringing, and family brought up interesting theories that I didn’t remember. 

And while, I’m not a huge fan of Dumbledore for personal reasons, I remembered why he was a good character. Did I agree with his actions? Not always, but re-reading books as an adult does give me a somewhat better understanding of some of his actions, and I caught more of his little hints and red herrings this time around that I never did in the past. 

Overall, this is still a great book. You really see how much the characters have grown from preteens to young adults, and how their world has changed around them due to Voldemort and how they must adapt to their new environment.
