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.

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.
