What a wild ride! I do love a villain backstory, tea on all the side characters (looking at you Lupin 👀), and of course everything that is Severus Snape. ❤️

As a kid 3 and 4 were my favorites, but now on my re-read as an adult this is my favorite of the series! 

Side note: the movie does NOT give this book justice… Almost every reason I love this book is cut from the movie 😒
