¿Es que acaso todos van a morir? Ojalá que en el final no haya tantos funerales...
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved this book soo much! I mean it was better than ‘The order of Phonix' in my opinion. Harry was right about his suspicions for once. And I loved how he got so obsessed with Malfoy and with that Potions book who The prince left notes. I knew that Dumbledore would die in this but the way was a bit unexpected. I felt sad for Draco a bit in this, he didn't even have time to bully Harry and his friends but he was crying a lot. I have so much to say but you all may know how it goes. I loved it and I recommend to all HP fans and fantasy fans and those who watched the movies.
I liked this book much better than Order of the Phoenix, which I really, really didn't like, but I still like the fun of the earlier books better. My favorite aspect of this book was all the adolescent relationship drama. Ginny is also solidifying her position as my favorite character in the series.
This volume of the series includes an annoying amount of teen dating drama.
While I did enjoy this addition to Harry's story, it was probably my least favorite so far of all of the books. Felt like a lot of workup and a hectic ending. It did make me cry at the end though, so I guess there's something to be said about Rowling's ability to make you feel so connected to the characters.
A well written continuation of the story preparing for the final book.
harry is a bisexual disaster being obsessed with both draco & ginny. anyway dumbledore is also a villain who never tells harry the full truth and is still “a hero” yeah i think the fuck not
Another fine book in the collection.
In the words of Dumbledore: “It is important to fight, and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then can evil be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated. Beautiful book.
Le sixième tome de la célébrissime saga Harry Potter, qu'on ne présente plus. C'est peut-être mon tome préféré de toute la série !
Update 2020: before I get hate because I read Harry Potter, let me tell you that I totally support EVERY LIFE, EVERY PERSON. I am a firm believer of people being themselves and I accept them. Even though J.K has turned out to be the most horrible person in the world, I find comfort reading about a place that has helped me so much when I was younger.
And I probably will still get hate for rereading this series ...
My heart is aching.
The penultimate installment in the HP series, and the first of JK “I didn't read The Lord of the Rings until after I'd finished writing these books, honest” Rowling's books that I can genuinely say I enjoyed from start to finish. It made me laugh out loud (Roonil Wazlib cracked me up) and shed a tear (Hagrid carrying Dumbledore's body at the funeral was heartbreaking), and for the first time since starting this series I felt truly invested in the characters.
I particularly enjoyed the return to the focus on school work in this book, and found myself sharing Harry, Ron, and Hermione's nerves when the owls bearing their exam results turned up. I don't think I'll ever tire of reading about the various concoctions muddled together in potions class - if I was a Hogwarts pupil it would definitely be my favourite subject, and I'd love to get my hands on a copy of that annotated textbook! Despite Draco playing a bigger part in this book, he remains quite a flimsy character and it would be good to see him fully rounded out before the end of the series. I appreciated JKR's clever use of the pensieve as a vehicle to give us access to Voldemort's history while allowing us to spend a little more time with Dumbledore before his unfortunate demise, though I wouldn't be surprised to find that we haven't seen the last of the old man.
Hopefully, what with ridding the wizarding world of the greatest evil ever to threaten it, there won't be much time left for teenage romance in the final book. I suspect I would have enjoyed those bits a lot more if I'd first read the books as a teenager, but reading them for the first time as an adult makes it all a bit voyeuristic. Despite that, I did think JKR handled them very tactfully, and I thought this, from when Harry and Ginny first kiss, was lovely:
After several long moments — or it might have been half an hour — or possibly several sunlit days — they broke apart.
J. K. Rowling finally brings us Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts. Harry's growing up. He smooches a bit with Ginny. Good setup for the finale. I don't need to say anymore because everyone on the planet has read this book, right?
Published in hardcover by Scholastic.
This was EMOTIONAL. I didn't see a lot of it coming and I cannot WAIT for the next one.
Great in a lot of areas! A bit overrated though. Im not sure how and when Ginny became the best thing since sliced bread and Ron & Hermione do next to nothing in this book
I really liked the last 5-6 chapters, but over all this was not my favorite. Even though learning more about Tom was important and the way it happened, the characters involved was good, I just couldn't really like it. The drama with Malfoy was pretty boring, but I wasn't surprised by it because I wasn't hated the relationship between the 2 from the 1st book. Another thing that really disappointed me was the sudden interest Harry has for Ginny, it seemed out of nowhere and rushed and I thoroughly disliked it, I think that when he was spending his summer vacation at the Burrow there could be a moment where the 2 of them were alone and interact closely.
Over all it's a well developed story, and it got me gripped to the book all week, I read it in every opportunity I had.
