Actually it's funny. I've been dreading this book since Order of the Phoenix. I *hated* OotP. Which is why I didn't want to really pick this one up, and I was content to wait for my Amazon delivery even though I was helping run a midnight release party.
And I will have to read parts of it again but I'm pretty sure that there is scads more happening in the final fight sequence than she's put on the page, because she's shown it to us from *Harry's* point of view.
All in all, I didn't hate this one. It is set up for the next one, but on it's own, not so bad. It does not replace PoA as my favourite, though.
It's good that we get so *much* of Tom Riddle's backstory in this book though, seeing as the Witching Hour is using him as their "mascot" or "host."
