  116. Hufflepuff's cup, Slytherin's locket, the diary
  117. Nagini - so when he killed the Keeper of his father's house in Goblet of fire he made a horcrux?
  118. Lucius Malfoy tried to use the horcrux for his own gain (sabotage Weasleys and Dumbledore) and to rid himself of incriminating evidence
  119. By attempting to kill Harry, Voldemort singled out Harry and gave him the tools for the job - he didn't hear the whole prophecy and did not realise he would be advancing the prophecy by his own v actions of attacking Harry, who he perceived to be a threat

  127. Harry giving them his Felix Felicis
  128. Your enemy must weaken himself to enter
  129. But your blood is worth more than mine
  130. Dumbledore very calm
  131. Why didn't Dumbledore bring more members of the order? Or kids - they wouldn't fit in the boat presumably 
  132. That Dumbledore could cast a fire spell after drinking the potion is crazy
  133. Rosmerta under the imperius curse

  142. Tonks and Lupin
  143. Hagrid's views valued 
  144. Ginny understood Harry
  145. Can't believe (again) that Dumbledore died..was it really the only way? Was it the craziest MVP play for Snape's cover?
  146. This is a book full of emotions - Ginny and Harry finding each other the long way; Hermione and Ron; and Dumbledore's death
  147. I like it quite a lot but I suppose it feels like there is no closure after the dramatic shock of Snape killing Dumbledore and that puts a sour taste in the mouth
  148. Maybe ranks after Prisoner of Azkaban
  149. Maybe a 4.7/5
