4.0

The finale of this book is incredible. Other high points for me are the backstories with the Pensieve. 

On the whole this book is worse than the previous two due to many plotpoints being rather separate from the main plot. What I admire most about HP4 and 5 is how every sentence contributes so directly to the main plot and that happens much less in this one.
