Second read, I still find Dolores Umbridge the scariest character within Harry Potter, and again, i was glad to finally see her gone.

Growing up and coming of age and seeing more into the complicated world of the adults is so very well depicted within the story told. 

And the characters are beautifully shady, not one is only good or only bad. 

I have been flying through the 800 pages of this book on audiobook. I felt I was living, breathing, moving on with Hermione, Harry and Ron through this book. And what a tale it tells. So many moments to savour. I specially loved the ongoing discussion on death, dying, loss and grief. It is superbly done.
