Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Okay, first of all, J. K. Rowling is unrepentant about her transphobia, so I won't be buying her books or reading her stuff in the future. But September was really stressful, and I confess that I comfort re-read Half-Blood & Deathly Hallows, which normally function as my yoga blocks. I could just not put this re-read on goodreads, but that wouldn't be very honest! So here we are. I think my favorite part of this one are the Harry and Dumbledore interactions, definitely the deepest and most complex of the series. One irony there is that relationship is all about wisdom, compassion and mentorship, so it feels pretty ironic that she's not using her platform for more inclusive good. TERFs, sigh.
