Excellent book and has so much more detail than the movies. Loved the relationship between Harry and Dumbledore in this book. It was hard to stop reading and I had no trouble reading multiple chapters at a time. Really recommend reading this book.

"We don't want it, you take it, who knows what you're going to be facing".
"I'll be fine, I'll be with Dumbledore."
[...]
"I am not worryed, Harry", sayd Dumbledore, his voice a little stronger despite the freezing water. "I am with you".

"It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more."

WHY DOES JK ROWLING THINK IT'S OKAY TO DO THIS TO ME?

I loved this one. These books seriously just keep getting better and better. It had some strong Chamber of Secrets vibes (my immovable number one favorite book), what with the mysterious and sinister book of uncertain ownership, the trips into Hot Tom Riddle's past (which was pretty much the sole reason I even decided to read the books in the first place), and the Draco antics, which had been sorely lacking.

Also, I only watched the movies of these last few books like twice each, a long time ago, so honestly, I can barely remember anything (except for all the big stuff, somewhat unfortunately), so I'm pretty nervous, guys. Like, I really don't want anyone to die but I KNOW WHO DIES ALREADY

I FUCKING HATE THIS BOOK. there are so many things wrong with it. 1.) snape. harry thinking against snape the whole book and everyone shutting him down pissed me off more than i could ever imagine. dumbledore looked like an old ass fool when harry told him that he suspected snape and he was there like “no i trust severus with my life

I don't remember ever crying so much over a book.
Today I had a free afternoon, and I spent it reading the last 200 pages, not being able to put it down. I knew exactly what was going to happen, but I couldn't help myself stop wasting so much tears on my books (and, despite the fact that I can cry all of my tears on a film or even a TV spot, I am not one that cry so much while reading).
I read this books "only" twice, but this second reading has been a little shock, even though I perfectly knew what the story would tell.
I know this is not the best thing literature can offer me, I perfectly know that this saga is nothing special compared to masterpiece of the literature world, but everything that can move so much someone has some value, and I know re-reding those books can't be a waste of time.
