Did I know what would happen? Yes 
Did I still cry? Yes
Such a good book, loved everything about it, loved how we finally got a bit more information about Voldemort.
My only complaint, why does Harry only want to know about his father and not his mother? who by the way saved him with her love. Like he had so many opportunities to get to know about her and he did not take them.

This was amazing. Definitely my favorite in the series so far! It was so action-packed and full of emotions. I loved the romances in the book, because it shows us how much Harry, Hermione and Ron have grown since the first book.
But the end though... i cried so much :-(

I think it is because the characters have grown as a person, that I start to enjoy the books more. The way of thinking, decisions made and paths discovered aren't "dumb" anymore. Even though I watched the movies this book still kept me wondering what could happen the next page. Adored every second of it.

2013: Why did I originally give this only three stars? Loved it this second time around and was surprised by how little I remember.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reread.
Everytime I read these books it feels like coming home. And with every reread I seem to discover a deeper meaning.
They gave me somewhere to escape to and changed me for the better ❤️✨
