I cannot even understand how I feel about this book, it was one of the fastest book on this series for me in terms of the time I read it but I HATED, HATED,HATED that first part of the book where he supposedly fell in love with Hermione Watson. First off, Hermione Watson? Really?!? Second, second place is not as glamorous as this book wanted to show. Infatuation and love are definitely not the same and I know that he was not in love with Hermoine but I find it quite distasteful to say the least, that he chose to be infatuated with the best friend of the woman he ultimately falls “in love” with. Sorry but that is not a trope I particularly care for. Now for that second part of the book….
When the memes said that Gregory put his brothers to shame in the insane/unhinged department I did not anticipated that it will get tot his level. The way I was laughing and feeling sad and giddy at the end made this book worth while. I enjoyed that second half more than the last book (#7) and if I think hard enough and imagine the start of it different, this could have been my favorite book out of the series. But Alas, it is what it is! So this is my second least favorite of the bunch. Cant wait to see the twist they will probably make on the tv series if we get there!
