 Uh- ouch. Just ow. I remember why I stopped reading this for so long. I didn't want to sob again at 6:00 A.M., and I ended up doing just that. This book was a roller coaster of emotions, and hurt like hell. I freaking HATE Delores Jane Umbridge. I hate her more that Voldemort himself. Ohhh and don't even get me started on Bellatrix Lestrange. Reading her kill Sirius hurt more this time than last time (thank you fanfic 🥲), and this is one of the main deaths I won't ever forgive JKR for. For as long as I may live, she'll never be forgiven for the death of Sirius Black. Sirius is one of my all-time favorite characters in Harry Potter, and just flipping ow. I give this book 5/5 whole stars, I highly recommend it, but I think the next time I re-read the series, this is going to be one I skip.
