I think it's the best of the series, but I find that when conversation turns to Harry Potter, I'm often alone in my view.

Same. Was my favorite (at least better than all the preceding books), but many others disagree complaining about Harry being "emo".

Count me in the "worst" bucket. I liked the first four books (and, oddly, the sixth).
