Well I thought that the beginning was the best out of all 6 of her beginnings. I thought that her ending was the worst thing ever. I personally hated the end, because dumbledore has been my favorite character since I was 11. The thought of his death still makes me want to cry.
Oddly, I thought that the middle of the book, from ch. 4 to maybe ch. 25 ish was very very.. normal. It did not give me the constant suspence, and excitement that I got in the other books. Perhaps this was because there were less attacks, and all of Harrys ideas about malfoy, seemed down played by the other characters. I also found the book to be a lot funnier than all the other ones. There seemd to be a lot more jokes, and puns, and funnier scenes. Perhaps this was just JKR's way of giving us a good laugh, before the depressing ending.
I also thought the book focused a little too much on everyones " snogging". But I'm sure JKR had her reasons for this, one of the biggest ones being to show just how consuming the power of love can be.

and watch the river flood and pass us by
While I loved this book, it was not the best, in my opinion. Though, there were many questions answered that we've been waiting on for a long time. The book was well laid out, for the final battle that we all know is coming at the end of book 7... and I can't wait to see the journey that Harry makes to Godric's Hollow, and if Ron and Hermione will go with him.
This book was well worth the wait... though, another two years for the final outcome is going to be agonizing.

I think that this is the best written book in the whole series so far. In fact, I'm not sure how she's going to top this one. It's not my favorite, PoA will most likely always be my fave, but this one just ties so much of the story together so well. And it's one of the fastest reads of the whole series. Those last few chapters don't stop, at all.
A conservative man is a man who sits and thinks... mostly sits.
I agree with Sherry and Bluejeanbaby. PoA is still my favorite, because of the huge surprise with Sirius at the end, but I think this book was the best written. It was long, but unlike the last book, it didn't feel very long because it all flowed so well. Plus, I was really glad to see that Harry is out of the angsty-teen phase he was in in OotP.
I know alot of HP fans who hate the second book because they say that it's "irrelevant" and "random". I'm glad Book 2 has finally proved its importance!
Something just occured to me: Another reason for PoA to be my favorite is that it's the last of the light-hearted books: the last book with no deaths and the book before you-know-who comes back.

POA was my favorite until this one came out. It was an awesome read.
