Finished reading this with Mallory a few nights ago. We slogged through this one more so than the others. Not sure if it was just because we were busier with school starting back up or if we were just losing a bit of the Harry Potter steam. Either way, this one was a bit more of a drag at first than a lot of the others, but it finished pretty strong.
I did enjoy any time Harry and Dumbledore got together for their Voldemort hunting adventures. Most of the rest of the storyline wasn't as much fun compared to most of the other books. Didn't like all the romantic storylines. I felt like the Snape/Malfoy storyline wasn't played up enough and was a missed opportunity. Also, the Slughorn character seemed out of place and his role didn't have any sort of conclusion which makes me think he will maybe play a bigger role in Book 7. Or he was just there for the Voldemort-Horcrux revelation scene. I still enjoyed the book overall though as my rankings below shall show:
1. HP-4
2. HP-3
3. HP-6
4. HP-5
5. HP-2
6. HP-1
