Exactly halfway through and I have thoughts. The first and most glaring thing is how jarring it is how quickly they stop saying “Voldemort” because Ron asked them not to. I can only say this is in hindsight but it’s very out of character for everyone, especially Hermione who had a significant arc in finally saying it in book 5.
Apparently I have a limit so I’ll stop there and try to comment more below.

Not the point at all because there’s no way a world this big could not be picked apart. However, the more I read, the more glaring I find the issue with apparition. How can anyone be captured when you can just apparate away. They try to work around this with protective charms that limit it but in general it seems like a huge loop hole. Doesn’t ruin anything for me, but just a thought.

Also reflecting upon the failure of the “fantastic beasts” series, it’s baffling that they went with that angle to try to tie it into the dumbledore grindelwald duel instead of making the series strictly about that. That would’ve been such a more interesting story than trying to tie in the creatures. I have no idea how they were going to do it, but it always seemed weird so who knows

Always goes without saying but any time Hermione does literally anything, I will be eating it up and smiling down at the book. Also you can really feel the tension of them being lost and hopeless on their quest at the halfway point. I’m curious how I’ll feel finishing it, if I think it was rushed or done justly.
