I remember this being the book where I felt like things really started picking up and getting good in the series; but re-reading it, this book really brought up a lot of annoyances for me. Hermione's bossiness and secretiveness seems arbitrary and unnecessary; Ron is just the absolute WORST- valuing a rat that he has done nothing but criticize for the whole series over his human friend who has saved his life multiple times. And Harry- it's happened throughout the series, but this is where it really starts annoying me- that he doesn't share anything with Dumbledore. Like, we all agree Dumbledore's the greatest wizard, totally good, and has been nothing but generous and on Harry's side- so why does Harry continue to lie to him and be secretive? Ugh- eyeroll. I mean, I love Lupin and Sirius, and I liked that this book has the "unfinished" feeling with Peter Pettigrew- but it was not as good as I remembered it. Maybe I'm o.d.'ing on H.P. and I need to take a break.
