I'm a Ravenclaw!

Who creates all these quizzes? (Does anyone actually score as a Slytherin? Do they admit it?)
My wife and I bought The Half-blood Prince last Sunday and we both finished it within the week. I re-read The Order of the Phoenix (book 5) while I waited my turn. I had forgotten a lot about the last book -- the longest, and most frustrating (for the reader and Harry) of the series.
My take? Good stuff -- if you're already a fan. I think you either respond pretty strongly to the characters and world Rowling's created (especially the characters!) or you don't. I doubt Harry Potter will attain classic status, but there's an innocent fun about it all that I really enjoy -- not that these last few books haven't been dark in their own way; it's just that Rowling obviously cares and enjoys writing these immensely. The moral framework is so straighforwardly about responsibility, discernment and goodness -- that's what I find so refreshing.
