adventurous dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

This was such a fun reread.

I really needed to be reminded of just how lacking the movies were and how much they contributed to my development as a young adult. Now that I've done a full reread as an adult, I look at these books and the years that I originally read them with such love and fondness.

If only JKR wasn't a horrible person.

The reread is complete. These books were even better when reading them as an adult. Deathly Hallows is an amazing ending to this series, full of plot twists and emotional moments and action.

There are parts of this book I will never recover from. So many good characters died (Hedwig, Mad-Eye, Fred, Lupin, Tonks, Snape, etc.) The chapter with Snape's memories is especially heartbreaking.

My final ranking for this series is as follows:
7. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
6. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
5. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
4. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
3. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
2. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

This book confirms that Dumbledore is the worst and so many problems could have been solved if he just let Harry in on the secrets. I mean I don’t think any child should have that much on their shoulders but if you have to for canon sake then tell the whole fucking picture. Same with Snape! Before the big fight was so heartbreaking. And fumble fire had the audacity to beg for forgiveness, pathetic.

"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love."

Aaaaah. What a perfect way to end this series. With this book, my 24 in 24 challenge is also complete. I honestly can't believe it. This book did feel a tad bit too long, but that's to be expected for a finale. The secrets, the twists, the turns... there's nothing like this series. This re-read was absolutely brilliant. I can't wait to re-read more series. I'm so sad to see this go... but at least I can binge the movies!
