I really loved Harry in this book. You're right, Sirius' death did make him realise that he can't keep rashly running into things.
I loved the way he handled the Minister at the end. His new confidence probably came with the new found love and hope people had for him. And the trust and confidence Dumbledore put in him. I loved that, the way he sort of said casual things to his headmaster before stopping himself.
He was almost boring in the first few books, just angry and irritating in OotP but here he really shined. |
