This was a very good book, I liked that we got to see more of life at Hogwarts since this book was longer than the others. I also loved all the characters (except for Umbridge, but I love to hate her), and it was really well written.

a parental figure dies

Physical harm is used as a punishment in detention when the students must use a quill that uses their own blood as ink. Harry is being gaslighted throughout the book after telling everyone that Voldemort has returned The Dursley's are described as "fat" with a negative connotation

okay 800 pages long, we got a lot to unpack here.

- First off, I will defend CapsLock!Harry with my life. The boy just saw his worst enemy brought back to life only for the public to label him a liar?? while he also has to remain in the dark about everything?? while also living with his vile aunt and uncle?? He deserves to scream and let everything out
- 'Listening to the news! Again?' 'Well, it changes everyday, you see' I live for badass Harry
- Sirius being both a parental figure and a brotherly figure to Harry
- Mother-hen-Molly mode activated
- 'I... must... not... look... like... a baboon's... backside' when I tell you I completely LOST IT 😭
- Umbridge, man. I hate her so much, I love her
- Fred and George pulling the most insane pranks to annoy her lmaoooo
- The teachers going with it?? 😭
- Prof. Sprout awarding 20 points when Harry passed the watering can? Prof. Flitwick giving Harry a box of sweets? love it
- 'It unscrews the other way' and 'Have a biscuit, Potter' STAN MINERVA MCGONAGALL 
- Peeves saluting the Weasley twins
- The DA making Harry realise his calling as a DADA teacher (too bad he had to be an Auror in the end)
- The entire St. Mungo's scene
- Arthur Weasley is the GOAT, man
- Harry absolutely LOSING IT in Dumbledore's office after the battle at the Ministry was just plain DEVASTATING. My heart shattered just like all those trinkets on Dumbledore's shelves </3
- That was also the first time I ever cried while rereading a book, so yeah
- This used to be my least favourite book as a child, but growing up I realised how much I love this book, the way it deals with Harry's trauma, it's just perfect. Also, I can't say no to more Wizarding World content. They could literally just be sitting in a class, bored out of their minds, and I'd still read it
