I loved it, myself. It actually became my favorite. I love the Department of Mysteries, at the end. Everyone worked together and got to show off everything the DA taught them. And they got to take the thestrals to get there. 'Twas wonderful. Except for Sirius dying. But I'm okay that it happened. Actually, since I knew the whole time that somebody was going to die, I thought it happened at first when Mrs. Weasley confronted the boggart and saw Ron dead. I was like, "OMG!" but then I remembered that it was a boggart and breathed a BIG sigh of relief. Clever Jo. Making me think Ron died. And so early in the book! Ha.
The Department of Mysteries also opens up another big can of worms...what else is in there? I think that might just be important. If it's not...then heck, that's weird to me.
Angry!Harry is teh sex, as well. I love a main character that enjoys a good yell once in a while. Because silence is golden, but shouting is fun. And he gets all that crap he's been going through off his chest.
I also like that a bit of Ron and Hermione's life is a little secret now, because of the whole prefect thing (Gah, I'm saying everything you did. XD). Now there's a possibility that something's been developing behind the scenes. I won't seriously sail that ship until it happens though. That's my policy. No seriously sailing ships until it happens. That's the way it's always been with me. That's what I tell my friends, that's what I tell my boyfriend, that's what I told MuggleNet, and that's what I'm telling you. XD
Snape's past with MWPP was also on a shallow level, amusing. On a much deeper level, you certainly get a different opinion of James from that. And even a little more understanding of Snape's impetus in life. It's good to find out more about the most mysterious characters.
So...I hope HBP closes some of these gaping doors, but opens just enough more to lead us up to a fantastic finale of Harry's last year at Hogwarts. We shall see.
