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
