‘Spellbinding, enchanting, bewitching stuff.’ – Mirror

I enjoyed it really much because it was a rollercoaster of emotions:excited in the beginning ; worried in the middle and very sad in the end because of Dumbledore dies.

It was amazing I loved it so much, all the way through except the bit where Snape killed Dumbledore. It was very sad after he was 115. But at least Dumbledore told him to, so Snape was on the good side after all.
