My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It seems fitting that my first book of the year would be a Harry Potter. They really are an exceptional series. I loved going through this book again and seeing how subtlety Rowling wove in where the book was going. My only complaint is that this book over-explains way too many details, as though the readers hadn't read her first three books. A few times I wanted to mutter "I know already", but I can't profess anything but love for the overall reading experience. On to the next....
Happy reading!
