Oh my goodness. This might be my favorite book to date. It’s full of some rich themes of what evil truly looks like. How power corrupts and pride blinds even the most “good-natured” of people. I found myself countless times on the verge of tears as Harry, Ron, and Hermoine battled with more than just school and the social capacities of it. The questioned their morals and what they valued.

Hermoine sought to educate and fight for freedoms that enslaved individuals didn’t have. That definitely touched a part of my soul.

Ron battled through recognizing his own need for people and not being able to do things on his own - that being monetarily poor is better off than being poor in relationship.

Harry, just really goes through it - let me tell you. But he comes out stronger and he doesn’t shy away from the very real fear that his status brings. He knows he destined for more, yet feels the weight of a burden he asked not to carry, but will for the sake of those whom he loves around him. *cough* the gospel *cough*

Truly just a climax in the story that launches us into their growth as individuals and broadens their purposes beyond that of graduating from Hogwarts.

LOVED. IT.
