** spoiler alert ** 
 This was a terrific installment in the series, and I'm worried because the next one is the last. And it doesn't take place at Hogwarts. And Dumbledore is dead. And Harry broke up with Ginny. And Ron and Hermione haven't snogged yet, but they had damn well better, and soon. It was a terribly emotional book, and a really enjoyable one. They grow up so fast, don't they? Rowling did another great job of capturing the sentiment of youth, confusion, and teenage infatuation. I won't start the last book until tomorrow, but I'll add it tomorrow night after work.
