I really enjoyed the beginning of this book, where we get to see both prime ministers interact. We got to see Voldemort's family history, which was interesting. The scene where Harry kisses Ginny after Griffyndor wins their match was so cute! He breaks up with her after Dumbledor's funeral so that she is not targeted, but Ginny understands and says it's why she loves him. Aww! I like Fleur now that she yelled at Molly, insisting that she would still marry Bill even with his face scarred. It was a great moment! Overall, I liked this book more than the previous ones where the three friends are constantly fighting (mostly Ron).
