Most readers comment about how angry Harry seems in this book. Language is pretty mild with mostly "damn." A few minor characters drink heavily and smoke a little. Harry is 15 now and dating, and at one point he's surrounded by kissing couples at a tea shop. Harry and friends hear many stories about how many died or were tortured the last time Voldemort was in power, including Harry's parents.
