Another hard read and another hard death. We learn more about Voldemort and what Harry has left to do in order to defeat him. This one is always a difficult re-read but I'm ready to start the final battle.

I absolutely love the Harry Potter series. This book is my favourite of the 7 since it starts to bring more about Voldermort’s past and it draws closer to the inevitable war. I love how we see Harry’s and Dumbledores relationship grow.

Audiobook - ?? - Harry Potter books are very hard to rate and review but: the plot with the penseive and discovering about the horcruxes is very good, but the side plots involving the arguments between Hermione and Ron are usually just annoying. Without such a focus on this, it would be more enjoyable.
