Once again - so sad, yet so brilliant. The pacing was perfect, the plot was great, the characters are all amazing in their own way (aside, obviously, from Umbridge, even though she only appeared in about two sentences in this book), and J.K. Rowling is a genius. That is really all I have to say right now. 
 I'm a little scared to start the final book, knowing what will come; but at the same time, I can't wait to go on. I'm a little torn. (Knowing myself, I'll be starting the next book tonight, anyway, or tomorrow at the earliest.)
