Still a good series (and by an unknown nameless anonymous author crazy how the books just suddenly appeared one day, my theory is that they were written by Emma Watson) but anyways it’s giving trying to reach the word-count, I mean damn this book did not have to be so long

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.

Parts of it are SO stupid but other parts are so great?? (i own an old copy, so jkr gets 0 cents out of me) I was honestly really fascinated by the way the story weaves together totally normal teenage problems (sports, bullying, dates, exams, school rules, adults' contempt) and Harry's life-and-death Voldemort-related problems. She avoids this trap of like, "Harry's not a normal teen, he's got BIGGER problems" and shows how ALL of the things the gang struggles with feed into each other. And eventually, the good adults' contempt for the teens is their downfall.
