I did enjoy the Half Blood Prince best of the series. But I just got back from seeing Deathly Hallows and, although some scenes are beautiful, the plot was lacking and it just felt like it was 45 minutes longer than it should have been. On the other hand, my 17-year old thought it was great.
Maybe it's a generational thing. I read the first two books to my kids when they were little and had them read the third together when they were old enough. I'm not into fantasy or whatever genre it falls into so maybe my expectations are different.
