JK Rowling excels herself in this, the penultimate of her series. It's not as long as the fourth or fifth books, and I felt it was much better edited. Harry seems believable again - angry when anger is appropriate, but otherwise back to character. Once again there are amazing plot twists and turns. Unusually, we don't actually see Harry until chapter three: he's visited by Professor Dumbledore himself, the old and wise headmaster of Hogwarts. What an enjoyable scene that is, as Dumbledore gently but firmly tries to teach Harry's appalling relatives some manners, and takes Harry away with him.
