| Loved it. Another classic. Better than OotP. But not the best book ever for me, but ranks right up there.  |

| It's fairly good, though i think that it was a bit too long and i agree with the people who said that some of the romance was not needed. And so i can't say that it's the best in the series because Prisoner of Azkaban will always be my favourite. |

| I'm still in shock about the death and it was a pretty good follow-up to OOTP, but POA is still my favorite...... |

| It was definitely a good book, I voted for the second choice.
Two things that shocked me were the death (I knew it was coming at some point but now...too soon for me *tear*) and the HBP because it was exactly who I suspected it to be but for completely different reasons than I thought.
I liked the shippings. The one I'm shipping is finally happening although I wish it did actually happen I need more than just book 7 of this ship. I know some will agree.
This book definitely had a lot of information, but a lot of the stuff on the list on Mugglenet of the things we knew we'd find out wasn't actually told in this book. So that was kind of disappointing because I was looking forward to it but I'm sure the 7th book will tell us about it all.
I liked that she added a lot of funny moments because it lightened up the book a bit. This one is definitely my second favorite, right behind POA.
I know there was more I wanted to say but I can't seem to remember. I do wish this book was a bit longer.

| Fantastic! Wonderful! My second favorite after OOTP. 
The death is unnerving, but I think, given the mythology that's been created in the series, it had to happen. I won't say why now as that would contain spoilers. Now I can't wait for book seven! |

| For me this was the best one out of the series, mainly because of the fluffy romance ! Also, this book was alot more enjoyable to read because of the drama, especially the breathtaking final chapters. I think that the Order of the Phoenix was not as much a favorite for me mainly because of the excessive amount of angst concerning Harry. In the Half-Blood Prince, it is more comical and laid-back. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Dake Juke Sixth Year Ministry RPG Name:
Uwa Naoke Department of Mysteries | I definatly think it is the best in the series because one they have matured so much and you get to see them go into more adult things like relationships. I also think its the best because we learn so much. The writing if ofcourse brilliant and I was in tears for the last 5 chapters. I still find it hard to grasp. It was such a shock....but it almost makes sense. I cant explain why though without spoilers so....We'll just go in another direction. I thought there were many surprises in this book. And so many things that were finally able to occur! It was definaltly not a disappointment though the end is very upsetting....I really found this book to be highly humorous despite the darker aspects. I love reading about these characters and their adventures and this is a very good book. I enjoyed it and thought it was over to soon. I cant wait for the next and final installment! I still cant get over that there is only one more......I would love to go into much more detail but I dont think I can without giving spoilers....so I best be off before I blab! Tata! ~Aria~ |

| For me, there was enough foreshadowing to prepare me for the death, but not the murderer, so I'm sort of in shock. After finishing the book, I just sat in stunned silence for about 5 minutes.
I really do not like the new Minister of Magic. What a pompous jerk!
The ships are exactly how I hoped they would be -- except for the duration of one and the covertness of another.
The people I like, I like more. The people I hate, I hate more. One person to whom I was indifferent made me absolutely want to puke. |

| | | I knew who the hbp was because..well you know what he did, and that's when I knew it. Very sad tho', cried atleast 20 minutes. I re-read the chapter over and over making sure it really happened. It was terrible. I hate the HBP!!! On a scale of one to ten I'd give it a 10. It was my favorite of all of the HP books. Very good. I suggest it for any Harry Potter newcomers. Hope everyone else likes it the same. | |

| | | I don't know about some of you, but when I read Harry Potter sometimes I get into it, and I feel like either I'm one of the characters or living through one of them because like when ______ died I felt like everyone else did. Not just sad, but devastated, like I died along with him. I felt sorry for Harry, I mean, now he doesn't have much left especially after ____ died in book 5 too. | |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Marcella Riddle Graduated | Initially, I didn't like it. Moreso because of who caused the death, not just the victim. But then I began to appreciate it more and more. A lot of what happened in HBP I guessed at, such as the HBP and the involvement of one character in the major plotline. But that didn't take away from the enjoyment; it enhanced it because in a way I felt safe reading it. I think it was a brilliant novel however not the best in the series. The beginning was amazing, esp the first 2 chapters and the ending was equally good but the middle kind of dwindled. I felt it was slightly long-winded and could've been shorter. |

| Well... I thought HBP was really good, but it was the saddest book yet. I really did not expect a lot of things that happened in HBP. I expected a lot of things to happened in the 7 one. |
