the way harry could have used the mirror that sirius gave him to check whether he was at grimmauld place is actually painful.
fuck cho chang and fuck harry's temper tantrums.

Loved this book so much. Very long but still interesting and quite easy to read. Slow in the beginning but honestly I have that opinion when it comes to all of the hp books. It just might be my favorite of all of them even if my fav film is hbp.

I think this is my favorite book this far. The writing and descriptive language was much better. The progression of the story was not rushed and it felt more natural. We also got more in depth character development and plot points.

I chose to talk about this in a tiktok, but I fear that Dumbledore’s speech earlier in the story could have prevented Sirius death. The emotional reaction that Harry had was so natural and it has been building up the entire book.

Additionally, I heavily disliked the love plot in this book with Cho. Cho was unlikable, but I blame JK Rowling for this. Like Harry, Cho was also dealing with grief and wanted to get closer to the person that was once close to Cedric. Harry, obviously, not having processed any events from the last few months could not reciprocate understanding and emotions (especially by how JK made Cho cry and made a joke out of it).
