A bullet pointed list of my thoughts on this book:

• Why is everyone so unfair?
• It seems like at the most critical moments not a single adult is paying attention.
• I really really hate Snape.
• It's nice to see that James is not so perfect, even if Lily is still portrayed as perfect.
• WHY IS SIRIUS DEAD? (spoilers, lol)
• I kinda sorta hate Dumbledore. Why can't he just be straight forward and totally forthcoming? He's starting remind me of Q from Star Trek. He only gives you the minimum amount of information needed and leaves out important details.
• I don't really like Harry all the time, I'm much more endeared to Neville and Luna.
