It's only the 2nd HP book I've actually read, as opposed to listening to. I'm trying to catch up to see the movies, which I'd enjoyed. They're becoming less enjoyable as I've "read" the books, however, which reflects well on the book. There is so much going on as the story continues. Harry's sense of alienation comes through very clearly. The revelation at the end is a little frustrating, but I guess that's the whole point of hindsight, right? Still, looking forward to the next book.
