**spoiler** Angsty Harry was rough to read. Then Angsty Harry + rage grief was worse. **spoiler**

Really enjoyed finally seeing more and learning about Neville Longbottom. Neville's consistent courage as been around since Sorcerer's Stone has always been admirable as Neville typically stands up to and for his friends whereas Harry typically stands up to strangers. Also witnessing Neville's daring and determination grow, alongside his increase in pride for himself and his parents related to D.A. and Order of the Phoenix was the original bit of magic that is The Harry Potter series that is lost with all the whining from Harry.

My blood was bowling. So many frustrations. I actually felt like a teenager again. What they went through is relatable, not the killing ofcs. Love, rebellion, fear, stress, grief, etc

I cried when our good dog was killed. 

I was frustrated. I felt it all.

I was glad finally at the end of the book we received some form of closure. We needed it so badly.

Another happy part is how the twins stayed true to themselves. I finally understood and saw how important they are and how much I love them.

I don't believe I will ever hate a character as much as I did that pink evil twat. 

The adults frustrated me yet I could understand them and agreed they were mostly right. 

So many things could be avoided with better communication.

Also...that prophecy...how horrible..
It could have been Marcel Lubbermans. Marcel is such a wonderul and growing character in the books.

Lastly I love how the order of the phoenix stood up for Harry against the Duffelingen. Finally someone speaks up.

Harry in this book has a lot of angst and lots of anger outbursts which make this book annoying

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.🙄
