This was the turning point for the series and where it shifts, in my opinion, from “children’s” or “middle grade” to more young adult, and when the reader must mature in order to carry on with the story.

The whole scene at the Ministry gives me chills and I am amazed none of us have nightmares over it. I wanted to hit Bellatrix right in her smug face. I very strongly dislike that woman.

I can barely imagine Harry’s anger. Voldemort Killed everyone he loved. How do you recover from that?

I think my favorite part is the scene with Umbridge and the centaurs in the forest. I laugh my fool head off every time I read that bit.

At the end, though, when the whole group confronts the Dursleys, I silently cheered at least a little bit.
