And while, I’m not a huge fan of Dumbledore for personal reasons, I remembered why he was a good character. Did I agree with his actions? Not always, but re-reading books as an adult does give me a somewhat better understanding of some of his actions, and I caught more of his little hints and red herrings this time around that I never did in the past.
Overall, this is still a great book. You really see how much the characters have grown from preteens to young adults, and how their world has changed around them due to Voldemort and how they must adapt to their new environment.

The further I get into the series the more I find that it's not the characters that I'm drawn to, it's the world. Getting a look into
That being said, I did really enjoy the arcs that each of the main characters went on over the course of the book. Everyone felt a bit more mature in this book which was much appreciated after five straight books of childish arguments between the trio.
The last few chapters were
On a sillier note, Professor Slughorn is one of my favorite teachers so I'm always happy to see more of him. I think that his character does a great job of adding a bit of the, now classic, "silly wizard stuff" to this book's rather dark plot.
Overall this book was an excellent read and I can't wait to finish off the series.
