This should be a 5 star book. It has so many amazing moments, pretty much from Malfoy Manor onwards. The battle of Hogwarts is spectacular and heartbreaking. I much prefer the final duel between Harry and Voldemort in this compared to the movie version. No stupid special effects, no long drawn out battle. It feels …

I remember thinking this book was just okay when I read it before but I really enjoyed it this time around. The whole horcrux thing is brilliant and the chasing of clues through memories was a great way to do it. For quite a big book it feels much smaller as it is very well …

Another great entry in the series. I really appreciate what the author did with this series, the first book is rather simple but the story progresses and grows darker and more complicated with each entry. Harry is quite annoying in this story but to be honest he’s a young teenager so it’s fairly accurate. We …

His life has been mostly terrible and …

A definite improvement on the first book, which was hampered by too much scene and world building. The story takes a slightly darker turn and is the better for it though it still contains the wonder of the first book. I’ll be honest with these books there’s not much to say that probably hasn’t been …

I read these books initially much older than a lot of people, I’d say I was in my late teens, early twenties. I think the first three had been released. It’s probably why I don’t enjoy this one so much. It’s starts off strongish, but I was bored for a lot of the middle part …
