The beginning is probably the worst of all the Harry Potter books in my opinion. But as soon as Harry quits Sirius and goes to Hogwarts, the book gets really better. But it doesn't even compare to the last 200 pages of the book. That's what made me put a 5 star instead of a 4. We get to experience some really intense moments, some sad like Sirius' death and some really satisfying like when Umbridge gets taken in the Forest. I really enjoyed it, don't think it's one of the best but it's still really enjoyable

Remus holding eye contact with Sirius for 40 lines is actually a little crazy like wow JKR really wrote the two gayest motherfuckers without even meaning too.

Uh- ouch. Just ow. I remember why I stopped reading this for so long. I didn't want to sob again at 6:00 A.M., and I ended up doing just that. This book was a roller coaster of emotions, and hurt like hell. I freaking HATE Delores Jane Umbridge. I hate her more that Voldemort himself. Ohhh and don't even get me started on Bellatrix Lestrange. Reading her kill Sirius hurt more this time than last time (thank you fanfic 🥲), and this is one of the main deaths I won't ever forgive JKR for. For as long as I may live, she'll never be forgiven for the death of Sirius Black. Sirius is one of my all-time favorite characters in Harry Potter, and just flipping ow. I give this book 5/5 whole stars, I highly recommend it, but I think the next time I re-read the series, this is going to be one I skip.
