The reread is complete.  These books were even better when reading them as an adult.  Deathly Hallows is an amazing ending to this series, full of plot twists and emotional moments and action. 

There are parts of this book I will never recover from.  So many good characters died (Hedwig, Mad-Eye, Fred, Lupin, Tonks, Snape, etc.)  The chapter with Snape's memories is especially heartbreaking.

My final ranking for this series is as follows:
7. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
6. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
5. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
4. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
3. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
2. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

This is my favorite Harry Potter book! I do love Hogwarts and reading about the classes, but this one, hands down my favorite. It's really cool to read about Harry, Hermione, and Ron's journeys from llyr olds to 17yr olds. My favorite characters definitely have to be Hermione and Luna. They are amazing people. Love this book!
