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.🙄

I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with this book. Usually I can’t stand the teen angst from Harry, and his numerous teenage problems, but this time I understood it better. I had forgotten just how much the other students at Hogwarts are featured in this particular book—the DA, Quidditch, Hogsmeade, etc. I have to admit I enjoyed this listening more than I thought I would.

Ooof, things are getting darker. This one is always a difficult read as we lose another loved one with Harry. The war is escalating and we ultimately see major heartbreak as Harry struggles throughout the the year only to experience another loss.
