Honestly my least favorite Harry Potter book. I feel like the author was tired of writing and tired of her characters. She kills people without it improving or pushing forward the plot, just a depressing jumble of crap in my opinion. It lacked the creative fun the first three did and the great story line of four. I wish I could have stopped mid way through book five as things got more depressing. Plus the epilogue was a friggin joke. My eight year old daughter could have written a better end scene.
