 Two books in one day, look at me go! 😉 I enjoyed this book. I really, really did. More so than the first time I read it. This is my first time re-reading it since I read it back in 2020, and I enjoyed it more this time than I did back then. I think because I spaced it out so much, that it made me enjoy it more. Even though it took me three months to read this, I still loved it. Dumbledore’s death in the book was so much sadder than the movie. Like, I don’t like him. At all. But him dying almost made me feel bad for him. I felt bad for Harry though, not Dumbledore. Hermione in this book was just 🥹🤌🏻. I loved her. Re-reading the books makes me remember why I hated Draco so much in the first damn place. He’s more of an ass in the books than the movies. The movies made him tolerable. Overall, this re-read made it go up in the ranks of the Harry Potter Series for me, and I’m so glad it did. I give it 5/5 stars, and I’ll eventually read it again.

Rereading these books has been the perfect salve for trauma, but then Dumbledore goes and dies again. Onward to The Forest of Dean, and you Death Eaters can all go fuck yourselves.
