DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT AGREE WITH NOR ENCOURAGE THE VIEWS THAT JK ROWLING PROMOTES. HOW SOMEONE WHO CAN CREATE A WORLD SO FULL OF MAGIC AND WONDER COULD PROMOTE SUCH HATRED I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND. I READ THE BOOKS PURELY OUT OF NOSTALGIA AND LOVE FOR THE HARRY POTTER UNIVERSE.
“It was important, Dumbledore said, to fight and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then could evil be kept sat bay, though never quite eradicated…”
Book six. Wow. A lot happened in this book and I do believe that the series does keep getting better and better as you go through the books.
The Harry Potter universe holds so much nostalgia for me and going through this reading journey not only enhances the feelings I had as a young girl watching the films, but also adds adult perspective into the storyline.
Having read this book, after hearing JK Rowling’s views recently, you can pick up on a lot of the similar views written vaguely within the text, which of course made me uncomfortable reading.
I very much enjoyed reading this book, and look forward to finishing the series. 4.5⭐️

"Don't you see? Voldemort himself created his worst enemy, just as tyrants everywhere do! Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress? All of them realize that, one day, amongst their many victims, there is sure to be one who rises against them and strikes back!"
***
"You are protected, in short, by your ability to love!" said Dumbledore loudly. "The only protection that can possibly work against the lure of power like Voldemort's! In spite of all the temptation you have endured, all the suffering, you remain pure of heart, just as pure as you were at the age of eleven, when you stared into a mirror that reflected your heart's desire, and it showed you only the way to thwart Lord Voldemort, and not immortality or riches. Harry, have you any idea how few wizards could have seen what you saw in that mirror? Voldemort should have known then what he was dealing with, but he did not!
But he knows it now. You have flitted into Lord Voldemort's mind without damage to yourself, but he cannot possess you with out enduring mortal agony, as he discovered in the Ministry. I do not think he understands why, Harry, but then, he was in such a hurry to mutilate his own soul, he never paused to understand the incomparable power of a soul that is untarnished and whole."
***
"But he understood at last what Dumbledore had been trying to tell him. It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew-- and so do I, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, and so did my parents-- that there was all the difference in the world."
