 Two books in one day, look at me go! 😉 I enjoyed this book. I really, really did. More so than the first time I read it. This is my first time re-reading it since I read it back in 2020, and I enjoyed it more this time than I did back then. I think because I spaced it out so much, that it made me enjoy it more. Even though it took me three months to read this, I still loved it. Dumbledore’s death in the book was so much sadder than the movie. Like, I don’t like him. At all. But him dying almost made me feel bad for him. I felt bad for Harry though, not Dumbledore. Hermione in this book was just 🥹🤌🏻. I loved her. Re-reading the books makes me remember why I hated Draco so much in the first damn place. He’s more of an ass in the books than the movies. The movies made him tolerable. Overall, this re-read made it go up in the ranks of the Harry Potter Series for me, and I’m so glad it did. I give it 5/5 stars, and I’ll eventually read it again.
