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
