Harry had a lot of adult putting even more weight and responsibly on his shoulders and honestly has more expected of him than anyone else in this universe. It was annoying that everyone and the kitchen sink knew that there was more information that Dumbledore was keeping from Harry but no way to figure it out. Interesting to see Harry with a new perspective with Ginny and Slughorn. Ginny plays such a bigger part than the movies let on!
