I SO enjoyed reading this!

I've read the entire series only once, but I've re-read individual books a couple times beyond that - not necessarily all of them, and definitely not in order, more "I'm bored and don't know what to read so I'll pick a random HP book to start re-reading". This one always seems to slip through the cracks and I'm pretty sure I've only read it the once. I don't really remember particularly liking this one, compared to 5-7 (my favorites out of the season), but wow! It was so good, I inhaled reading it, I couldn't wait to read the next page. You start to see the kids grow up, you start to really get to know Neville (one of my favorites in the series, besides my beloved Luna!), and of course, we are introduced to Sirius Black and that whole storyline with all the pain and joy and love that follows him.

Of course I cracked up laughing so much at the end "I just found out you are really a good guy, but sure I'm move in with you!" Yeah I know the Dursley's SUCK but really? You just MET the guy & you are moving in?? Totally makes me laugh & be mad at it all at the same time.
