Here, Here!!

I definitely thought this was one of the best of the series (although 
PoA is by far my favorite).  After struggling through GoF (she could 
have cut half of the story away and still been too long!!), I was 
excited to see a book that brings us back to the original feel of the 
first three.  The only problem I had with the book was Harry's 
attitude  -- okay, he's sixteen, he's seen a friend die, and, yeah, 
he is a bit tired of having to save the world and justify his 
feelings all of the time.  But the bitterness surprised me.  Could 
this feeling of hatred he is feeling mean that the possession is 
still happening?  Hmmmm...
