also, my favorite book so far out of the series!

I just finished it! Harry grieves for Sirius and doesn’t really know how to feel. Everything is back to normal at school - Umbridge is booted out. Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes are doing really good. Plus, everyone is back to greet Harry and everyone once they get off the Hogwarts Express. Lupin, Tonks, and Moody basically threaten Uncle Vernon - they want him to be treated better or else they’ll come pay a visit.

Dumbledore tells Harry the truth about the prophecy. It could’ve been Neville!

They broke into the Department of Mysteries. Sirius, Lupin, and everyone else come to save them. All of the Death Eaters and Voldemort are there. Ron was attacked by a brain and sounded drunk. No one knows what happened to him. Woops. Dumbledore also comes along. He kicks Umbridge out and Hagrid can return. The prophecy orb is broken and no one could hear it. Sirius dies and possibly Tonks. Behind the veil was death?

thestrals and make up with the rest of the gang to rescue Sirius.

So...Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Luna, Ron, and later on, Neville get Harry and Hermione into Umbridge’s office where they talk to Kreature and Sirius is gone. Umbridge gets them out of the fire and captures them. She almost puts the Crutacius curse on Harry. Anyways they get her out to the forest where the centaurs attack her and carry her off. The centaurs attack Grawp and Herman and Arry get away. And then they get

They take their OWLs, Hagrid is attacked by Umbridge and some other people but escapes, and Harry has a dream during his History of Magic exam that Voldemort’s torturing Sirius and/or that Sirius is doing something for him. Either way he looks pretty beat up and Hermione’s in a horrible mood. Ron’s funny as usual.

Gryffindor wins the Quidditch Cup thing!! The Weasley’s escape becomes legendary. Hagrid is about to get sacked. Hagrid also brings Harry and Hermione into the Forbidden Forest to show them Grawp - his giant half-brother. He wants them to teach him English once he leaves. They aren’t sure what to do because it wouldn’t be safe visiting him.

5th year students get career advice. Harry spots Hagrid coming out of the Forbidden Forest looking not too good. Fred and George set off one of their portable swamp things, leave the school, and announce Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes. Harry also breaks into Umbridge’s office to use her fire to talk to Sirius and Lupin about what he saw in Snape’s memory.

Harry takes a nice little trip into Snape’s memories and Fred and George set off a bunch of fireworks around the school. We also find out about the Inquisitorial Squad that Umbridge has set up.
