Harry Potter and the Deus Ex Machina. The plot was not seeded in the preceding 6 books, despite them all doing the world building and the setup of the climax of the story. The worst of the series. Again action packed to distract from the lack of both plot and character development. Much of the beloved wider cast is killed off to distract from the lack of high stakes.

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

Wow… just wow. My favourite book in the series BY FAR. Didn’t expect to be on the edge of my seat! 

Would have given it 5 stars if it weren’t for the goblin antisemitism :~)
