3.5 stars for me. I feel like I like this book less and less every time I reread it. You love to hate umbrage, but you hate to hate Harry. He is whiney, selfish, and makes generally stupid decisions that put everyone in danger. You also start to become aware of Dumbledores Machiavellian tendencies.

This book remains my favorite of the entire series, even though it is beastly long. I find myself with a new appreciation for Molly Weasley and Minerva McGonagall, and my hatred for Dolores Umbridge has reached new heights, especially reading her in the wake of pandemic restrictions. Also, Rowling's depiction of a media outlet taking orders from a government entity and an independent journalist finding an alternative outlet for the story of the century was remarkably prescient...

If most of the characters just got over themselves already none of this plot would have happened *eye roll*
