This book was pretty awesome! I, too, wanted to know how Harry and the gang did on their O.W.L.S. I guess that's how the sixth book will start off. I was disappointed with Siruis' death "scene." I thought it could have been a little better. But at the same time, I was totally expecting Dumbledore or Hagrid to die, so I wasn't too upset.
I had to put the book down several time because I wanted to jump in and kill Professor Umbridge. What a B*!ch. I hope she's gone from the books.
I am starting to like Snape. Now, he's not my favorite character, but I am understanding why he is the way he is. And, I liked how he was "helping" Harry out...even though he didn't appear to want to do so.
Harry and Ginny would make a cute couple...and we all know that Ron and Hermoine are going to wind up together

. The next two books are going to be very interesting! I just hope we don't have to wait as long as we did for this one.
I wonder who they will find to play Dumbledore in the remaining movies???

Not any person can play that special role.
