I was still okay with HBP amazingly enough. It made me hope for better character development with Draco actually becoming a 3D one (a bit) and Snape having some cool moments; and it filled my House of Black fangirl heart with joy.

I had deep disdain for it for the first 4 books. I was in deep denial about getting into the fandom for at least 6 months. So it's not like I ever trusted it enough for it to break my heart :D yeah, loving it would be a bad idea... it's a bad boyfriend that one ;_;
