Starjackson1:
I have to say that HBP was my least favorite book in the HP series. 
It was a bit slow in the beginning. However, character and plot 
development, and richness in detail about characters' feelings,etc. 
is something we have all come to expect from Ms. Rolling.  There 
were a couple of chapters in the book I just loved. I would have to 
assume that men probably would tired of the romantic entanglements of 
Ron,Hermione, Harry, and Ginny. But I enjoyed them!  I also thought 
DD did impart some important information to Harry, about Voldemort's 
past, and the identity of the Horcruxes (what objects they were). DD 
explanation of the nature of the prophecy and Harry' greatest 
strengh (love) were important issues for Harry to understand if he 
was every going to sucessfully fight Voldemort.
