Based on 114 kid reviews

Kids say that this installment is a mix of enjoyment and frustration, as many found the book's length—over 800 pages—excessive, leading to boredom at times, particularly with the political undertones and some redundant scenes. However, they appreciate the introduction of new characters, the humor amidst the darker themes, and the courage displayed against the antagonist, Dolores Umbridge, despite concerns regarding the intense violence and emotional weight, including the death of a beloved character.
