Ahhh!!! Love this one so much! Reading Harry Potter as an adult gives you a different perspective than the one from childhood. I found this installment profoundly deep and thought provoking.  Despite the dark turn that this series has taken, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it!

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.
