:up: Well... where do I start. I think this is by far the darkest book in the series. As it should be. Many people have said the 4th book started a down word spiral and the 5th took it farther. Well that is true on many levels. It was bound to be that way, after the ending of the GoF. And as so many characters put it "It will only get worse before it gets better." I also belive the Dark War will go throght the 6th and most of the 7th book. And then we will see what happens. Becuse we must remember that "...Nether can live while the other survives..."

But there were some good times with the Weasley's brothers and there candy. But over all the book was different than the others. And how could it not. You seen Harry as a teen. Which was (or is or will be) hard on all of us. No one said growing up would be easy and I think it is safe to say that Harry has and will still have a harder life than most of us. And with all he has been through and will go through he has the right to be mad. And you see it all through the book.

Some of the other characters have been seen in a new light. Like for an ex. Ginny she has really grown up over the summer and you saw a little of is in the GoF. But you she really shown in this book. You could tell she had gotten over Harry as she had a boyfriend for most of the book. But most of all she wasn't just a nether Weasley. Nevllie was a nether character that had changed you could also see how much he had grown over the years. He really showed us why he was put in Gryffindor. He also showed us how loyal he was to Harry and Dumbledore.

But over all I think this was one of JKR best books! :sorcerer:
