This is definitely one of my favourites of the series. Way better than the film's, the first one especially (tent the film *eyeroll*). Always something happening unlike previous books where it takes a while for Harry to really do something. There's continuous new discoveries that excite me everytime you can click it together. The writing style is definitely so much better than previous books, and it was just easier to read due to the continuous adventure, I loved it! It didn't wait until the end of the book to uncover the mystery and I appreciated that, there was clues right throughout. Makes me cry every single time, just the deaths and Kreacher (he broke my heart in OoTP, but he puts it back together in this, with his story uncovered I have a new appreciation for him. And the end when he bursts into the battle, just tears. Anyways, overall a good read and would definitely read again. It's definitely the darker of the HP books.

Avrei dato all'opera un giudizio migliore se non per la

  sconfitta finale di Lord Voldemort, la quale non solo non mi ha convinto, ma l'ho anche trovata piuttosto anti-climatica

e per la rappresentazione dei folletti e della loro natura, che risulta problematica quando scopri che essa tende a sembrare jewish coded.

Ich glaube, dass ist der Band, den ich am meisten schätze und würdige wegen der Werte, die er vermittelt und darstellt, aber der Epilog ist eine einzige Katastrophe und ist in der Wertung nicht inbegriffen.
