UmbridgeYesYou called her a liarYesYou told her He Who Must Not Be Named is backYesHave a seat cause we bloody need to talk about trans livesI love Harry Potter as much as anyone which is why I urge everyone who spends money on these books to also support the trans communityTo say it with the author's words “If you want to know what a mans like take a good look at how he treats his inferiors not his euals” WellHeres a list of organisations that support trans lives feel free to reach out and recommend Every penny countsMermaids UKThe Trevor ProjectBlack Visions Collective because Black trans lives matterFind of my books on Instagram I cried like a little baby JK Rowling really starts taking the series down a darker road in this book She is so talented at character development and it really shines in this book Here Harry isyears old and for most of the book he's whiny and self centered just like a typical teenager I also adore Dumbledore's role in this book his conversation at the end with Harry put me to tears Rowling did an amazing job with the character of Umbridgenever have I hated a fictional character than I hated her I do have to admit I'm curious to see whether she makes any appearances or not For me this book was stronger for character development than plot Yes this is a key book for the series but I felt like most of the book was spent with characters' internal issues and development rather than the plot I love how Harry and the crew are dealing with adult issues now such as relationships and death As with all of her books I have a really difficult time putting these books down but especially within the lastpages I physically could not separate the book from my hands Overall another outstanding addition from JK Rowling Seriously don't read this review if you haven't read the books The biggest compliment I can think to give anpage book is that I wish it had been longer I wish this had been longer This book has always been my favorite in the series Up until it Harrys story had been filled with light Sure there were some tough parts earlier on and while it's true that some darkness crept into the ending of the previous installment for the most part that was a pretty happy book compared to this Ron got over his jealousy the school eventually got behind Harry as a Champion and good still triumphed over evil Our hero surmounted impossible odds in the Triwizard Tournament and then managed to escape Voldemort yet again and warn the wizarding world of his return And then BAMThe beginning of this book hits you in the face Where you expect Harry to be in the know hes in the dark where you expect The Daily Prophet to be filled with stories about the ministry pursuing Voldemort theres only silence where you expect excitement about returning to Hogwarts there is only frustration and angst And you know what You get it you frigging get it man Because you were with Harry when he faced Voldemort and his Death Eaters alone you stood beside him as the shades of his parents appeared from the tip of his enemys wand and helped save his life And when he made it back to safety you were just as dumbfounded as he was when the minister of magic refused to believe him refused to believe Dumbledore So how dare they How dare they let him rot alone in a house full of people who hate and ridicule him while the murderer of his parents begins to rebuild his army How dare they feed him snippets like “We cant tell you anything about what weve been doing and weve been doing A LOT But dont worry well see you soon we just cant tell you when” As if he hasnt been through enough If anyone has the right to know whats going on its Harry Doesnt anyone KNOW him like we do Or do they just think that they know whats best for him better than he does And thats part of the genius of this installment This book grows up Where the previous four could be labeled as childrens stories this one cannot There are so many hard lessons and difficult themes in this ones that a childs mind cannot fully grasp Gone are the heroes gone are the happy endings This book teaches you that adults arent the perfect protectors you thought they were Sirius isnt infallible James Potter isnt infallible Albus frigging Dumbledore isnt infallible None of them are None of them are even fully good And come to find out those you thought were fully evil might not be either This book introduces you to shades of grey and each revelation seems to hit you harder than the last Normally I hate angst This is mostly because I find the vast majority of what I see these days to be a sorry excuse to lengthen a story or a shoddy attempt to distract a reader from glaring issues Trying to cover up weak characterization Add some angst Want to hide those holes in your plot

Add some angst The only type of angst I can stand is believable angst Rowling delivers on this And thats one of the many reasons that I love this book There are a lot of other reasons Fred and Georges badassery Ginny Weasley finding her voice and becoming a character in her own right the undiluted rage that coursed through my body every time I read a scene that included Delores Umbridge the incredible courage and honesty of Hermione Granger the loyalty of Ron Weasley Neville Longbottom coming into his own the failed Occlumency lessons I WILL ALWAYS HATE SNAPE and the way the entire school ended up doing exactly what the sorting hat suggested at the beginning of the year and banded together as one against the ministrys interference I even loved the ending YES I SAID IT And do you know why Because life isnt sunshine and roses and you dont always get to say goodbye to those you love You dont get the sense that Siriuss death was a righteous one You dont get resolution He didnt make some grand sacrifice to save the lives of many others He died taunting the bad guys smiling at them egging them on as though he was still that ego inflated teenager you glimpsed through the pensieve And then you find out that it was all for nothing That there were so many ways that it could have been avoided How do you deal with that The best you can I guess So while I dont necessarily enjoy this book as much as I do the others it remains my favorite in the series for the reasons I listed aboveBlog Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest.
