 Siriusly Snapey Susan: which of the books has become your favorite?

Witherwing:
As of just two weeks ago, I've decided Deathly Hallows is my favorite - and I didn't think it 
possible! I've read it four times, now.  I didn't skip a single chapter, and I have to say I 
really love the camping, as well as Ron leaving (and returning to save Harry), Godric's 
Hollow, Luna's house, Harry reading Voldemort's mind, Dobby's rescue (and burial), 
Harry's Hallows/Horcruxes dilemma, the wandlore, breaking into Gringotts, Snape's 
memories and Harry's walk through the forest again, as master of the three Hallows, Kings 
Cross... I consider it a fabulously fun reread. And there are a few rich details I uncover 
each time.

For example, I discovered on my fourth read that in Snape's memory of Dumbledore telling 
him there will come a time when Voldemort will fear for the life of his snake... when Snape 
is shocked to discover that Harry must give himself up to die... Dumbledore is said *twice* 
to have his eyes closed.(DH Am.Ed.p.686-7)... Hmmm... Now I'm mulling over thoughts of 
why DD would make sure his eyes were closed tightly as he let Snape in on this part of his 
plan...

Well, after DH came out, I finished the series, and then went back to HBP, skipping the first 
five! I will eventually reread them all. I'm quite looking forward to it, after reading all your 
responses to your favorites.

Bbut I often think of skipping chapters, and then never do! Maybe it's because I do a lot of 
rereading individual chapters that I like! I've reread the last four chapters of DH many 
times, partly because I love them, and partly because I've been trying to figure out the 
details of the wands, etc.

-Witherwing, whose favorite used to be OotP - because Harry finally gets to say "Why me? 
This sucks!"
