Summary: An impressive twenty-seven hours
Review: Jim Dale does it again -- his reading of "Order of the Phoenix" has to rank among his best of the five books so far. One of the most memorable new characters, Dolores Umbridge, is brought into fine form in this audiobook. I'll never be able to reread "Phoenix" again without hearing Jim's rendition of "Hem! Hem!" While I did notice a few inconsistencies in voices this time (there's one noticeable moment where he mixes up Mr. Weasley and Sirius), the audiobook does have a nice and lively pace, and Jim Dale does such a commendable job of giving each character such detailed attention. And considering the fact that he recorded over a entire day's worth of narration, it's a wonder he didn't make loads of mistakes. Most importantly, there is no such thing as a small character to Jim Dale -- every voice is unique and holds their own among the other voices. In fact, he's even aged Harry and Ron's voices a bit from the previous audiobooks. This has become a ritual for me...reading the book first and listening to the audiobook afterwards. I recommend to any Harry Potter fan the experience of listening to the multi-voiced talent of Jim Dale.

Summary: a treat that leaves you hungry for more
Review: 'Harry Potter and the order of Phoenix' livs up to the high expectations .Though it is not the best of the series,it succeds
fabously in showing the changes that come in harry as he reaches the crossover age from childhood to adulthood.the action is slow
in the first part witch tests the patience of the reader a bit,but the end chapters make up for it. J.K Rowling has agreat ability to weave the story together .
the characters and their emotions are uncanningly life-like .in he fifth book this ability is more prounced.No one is shown infallible even Albus Dumbledoer.
The death the last part of the book is unexpected and leves the reader in the same state as harry ,wishing feverently that ther was some way to bring him/her(not telling) back
The book seems better on second reading because one can pay more attention to details and there is no rush to reach the end.
over all it is a spell-binding book,though it just wets the appetite and leaves us hungry for more.

Summary: The Best Yet
Review: This is hands down the best book I have ever read in my life! I would recommend this book to anyone seeking a book on mystery, adventure, or suspense. Great book, once you start you wont be able to put it down!!!
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix provides a great plot that will keep you crying for more! If you have ever read a Lord of the Rings book or any of the other Harry Potter books well then you'll love this one, plus, unlike the Lord of the Rings series it is easily comprehensible.

Review: I know some people were disappointed, but I don't see how. I think yea, sure, the last four books were fun, but number five shows Rowling's skill as a writer. She did an amazing job. It was worth the wait.

Summary: Not her best, but still spectacular
Review: The fourth book ends in a manner that leaves the reader assuming the subject of the Order of Phoenix: the return of Voldemort and the uprising of the dark wizards. Instead, it focuses on the struggle of convincing the magical world of Voldemort's return, something more difficult than it may seem. While it may lack the dark, action-filled plot we had been expecting, there's still a substantial bit of darkness, and if appreciated for what it is, a very good side plot focusing the workings of the sadistic new Proffesor Umbridge and Cornelius Fudge, which will not only fill the reader with suspense as to how Dumbledore will prevent them from taking over Hogwarts, and will show the reader that Dumbledore may not have as much influence as it seems.
The final thing that I will point out is that the one death there is in the book was extremely out of context, and only inserted so as to get a reaction out of readers. I am extremely dissapointed with this choice that Rowling made, and I hope that she will be less rash in the future.
Aside from a slight lack of an energetic, fast-paced plot, and a few things here in there, I must say that it is an excellent book, and does an extremely good job of gearing the reader up for the next book.

Review: The night I got my copy of "The Order of the Phoenix" was truly a magical and eventful night - just as I had imagined it would be! The book? (Which I read and finished the following day) All I can say, is that it was one of the most beautiful installments to a series I have ever seen. By now, little introduction is needed as we plunge into Harry's world and participate in his life (complete with ever-fluctuating moods). As always, Rowling makes us feel that we are with Harry and joining in his adventures. The way the book begins and ends is mindblowing and will have any avid Harry Potter fan begging for more through the tears (I know I was!).
