I enjoyed the book but I made a huge mistake by watching the movie first and the movie is a whole different story and that caused me to not be invested in this book as much.

Crying Crying some more

You'd think that after all the re-reads one would finally pull himself together and not crumble under the weight of Sirius' death: WRONG. DEAD WRONG.

More crying

What to do next? Lay in foetal position and... You guessed it: cry some more.

This was long, very long, perhaps too long, unnecessarily long. Things got a bit slow for me at the 50% mark and I struggled to keep reading from that point onwards, until maybe chapter 32. It also contains one of my least favourite chapters in the series so far, Grawp. The character added nothing, Hagrid pissed me off, and someone needs to teach HIM English.

Holy mother of shit, this book! It fucking drove me INSANE! Don't be mistaken, I'm a hardcore Harry Potter fan, read this the first time when I was 15, now I'm nearing 34 existential crisis and I decided to re read it. So I'm out of my teenage years awe and first times. I watched the movie several times and I never thought I'd say something like this but THE MOVIE WAS BETTER! (feel free to disagree). Basically my issue with this book is that it's 800 pages when it could have been 400 if it wasn't for the numerous details that amounted to nothing. Rowling just used a lot of words to say things that could be said in one sentence. Mind you, I'm used to classic literature and whole pages full of descriptions of the shade of a tree and such. But this one was over the top, the first and last 200 pages were great, the middle had its moments, but overall pointless events. I still loved catching some details that I forgot about the series, i loved diving in HP world, but it wasn't as enjoyable as the other books. To sum up: least favorite book of the series, useful as a weapon to strike one's enemies (it's not a book, it's a brick
