Yeah I am not sure either...though let me say that that I by no means think the middle was bad...It just seemed like a lot of inaction. I didnt hate the middle..just felt like it was a lull type session before the big battles

Basically, the first 6 books show us how Harry gained magical knowledge, personal understanding, friends, the D.A., the Order, popular support, etc., all to help him fight Voldemort. Then, gradually, he has to leave all his friends, Ron splits, his wand breaks, he doesn't know what he's doing, he loses all of his supports. But then Ron comes back, Snape pitches in, Dobby helps, Aberfort plays a role. It shows just how far he's come, and, significantly, how important the things are that Voldemort doesn't understand (non-humans, friendship, family.) It's huge. And the tone is amazing. The fight between Harry and Lupin is fantastic.
