Summary: Good, but not as....
Review: The wizarding world is still fun to visit, and I had no problem staying interested in the book. However, Harry is a little more angry and a little less likable in this installment. Overall, the book was less emotionally stirring I found the previous books.

Summary: Thrilling chapter but otherwise not that good
Review: The chapter 'Beyond the veil' is absolutly thrilling. The description of the fight along with the timely arrival of various people is too good. The description of every detail is amazing.
But beyond this there no peak exicitment phase. Harrys Outburst on Dumbledore is surprising considering Harrys respect for him. The first few chapters are a bit boring. harrys quarell with Cho is not very realistic.
Any it is quite a decent book. Probably just better than 'Goblet of fire' and just worse than 'Prisoner of Azkaban'. I finished in 1.5 days so i guess its quite good.

Summary: PLEASE stop MOANING!
Review: I wish people would stop moaning about this book. So many people seem to have read it with the single purpose of ripping it to shreds, determined to prove that it cannot possibly hold up to the shining example of previous books. All of the negative reviews harp on about the tediously obvious - the length and tone of the book. Let us address these issues in turn.Many detractors use the excuse that the length and darker tone make 'Order of the Phoenix' unsuitable for children. Wrong! Do any of these people HAVE children? Kids have been waiting for this book for three years - if it was 250 pages they'd have groaned with disappointment. This is a literary banquet that they are slavering to savour, one which will last them for a week in most cases. They LIKE the length. As for the comments on Harry's 'New' character - again, have any of you MET teenagers? I'm sorry to break the news, but even the most sweetly-natured and well balanced children turn into the Greasy Monster when they hit puberty. If Harry stayed a candid and wide-eyed lovable waif until he was eighteen it would stretch credibility just a tad, don't you think? In my opinion this is an immensely entertaining and well-written continuation to the Harry Potter Saga. All characters have developed in ways that should have been self-evident from their enviroment, and the plot (yes, there was a plot) was well structured if a little slowly unfolding. I'm not saying the book is perfect. Dumbledore's final revelation about the prophesy was foreshadowed to the point where it did have an element of 'Is that all?' There was a lot of exposition and at times the evolution of the story was murky. But, lets be frank, similar if not greater faults could be picked with all the Potter stories (not to mention every other book ever written if one is to nit-pick). At the end of the day, I'd recommend 'The Order of the Phoenix' to anyone, and it will be a treasured part of my library for many years to come, I am sure. Thank you J K Rowling.

Summary: bring him back
Review: Loved this book! It was not long enough. I eagerly couldn't wait to find out what happened at the end, while wishing this rich and stirring tale would never end. A crabby, angst-ridden Harry didn't bother me a bit - he's growing up, he's a normal lad (who happens to be a wizard), not a saint. I was a bit disappointed it didn't work out with Cho, but that part rang true in teen relationships - you hardly ever end up with your first crush. (I bet Harry ends up with Ginny). The only part I found exception to was the death of the person very close to Harry who I was very fond of too. (Please bring him back J.K.! I don't care how you do it, but bring him back!) I know she won't, because that would be cheating, but I cried my eyes out when this character died. This was a very valuable character who could've provide Harry insight into Harry's past - more about what his parents were like and possibly in the future giving Harry valuable advice about being a man, girls, etc. I felt like this was just too harsh for Harry to lose someone he cared about so much and who loved him just as much. And moreover, this character was very [appealing]! ... Anyway I will miss this fabulous, mysterious character and in the wizard world where all kinds of things can happen, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that in a future book, maybe Harry can go behind that black veil and drag this person back!

Summary: Amazing but Needed to be Tightened
Review: I enjoyed it a great deal. J.K. Rowling is a vivid, talented writer with an incredible imagination. I know other reviewers disliked Harry's new teenage self, but I liked it. I enjoyed his rougher-around-the-edges, hotter-under-the-collar character. I felt like I was getting to know a new Harry - one that was much more interesting. I also think Hermione's character is much more hard-hitting, confident, and savagely witty. My only issue with the book is its length. I have nothing against long books, and, in truth, when you love a book, you don't want it to end. But this installment did not NEED to be nearly 900 pages long. I can see books about epic sagas and multiple generations being long, but this book takes place within the same exact time frame as the others. I think two things happened: another reviewer mentioned that when authors find smashing success, they tend to fall a bit in love with their own stories and words. Not a crime, just a fact. That's what editors are for. Rowling's editor should have persuaded her to pare down. I suspect he didn't because no one dared tangle with her or her story! Does anyone else think this series is slightly similar to the Star Wars saga, with its focus on good v. evil, dark lords, and a young boy with a fabulous destiny?

Summary: They Just get better and better
Review: This is by far my favorite of the Harry Potter books...
All of the best Characters return and some new ones.
I cant express how good this book is at all. J.K. Rowling is the best living author today. I also have to say that George and Fred are back with tons of comedy, they are so funny!
And when the person that dies died... OMG! I couldnt believe it!
I just wasnt expecting him/her to die... wow...
Also Snape is up to his annoyingness... He is one of my 2 favorites... I just love to hate him, the other is Sirius...
This is the Greatest book, i highly reccomend it...
I CANT WAIT FOR #6!!!

Summary: Perhaps the Greatest in the Series...
Review: All right then, you all know the story. You've all read it by now. If you haven't, then shame on you. If you don't like the Harry Potter series at all, why are you even reading this review? Be gone, non-believer! ...as I was saying. This installment in the Harry Potter series is by far the best in the series. Why? It's darker. Personally, I prefer darker things, i.e. Horror Movies. Anyway, yes, you have probably noticed that Potter has becom, how you say, moodier. This is to be expected, he has come of age, and blah blah blah. I am yacking. Time for some Matlock. Then, I'll look back to my Harry Potter collection, and say, who has a better collection? He he. Oh... yes. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Highly recommended, highly reguarded, a modern classic. Good day to you.
And, by the way: I have reviewed many other things. Such as Dinner With Andre. Pretty boring, what with them just having dinner and all, wasn't it? And Manhunter! Oy! Awfull! But, at least it wasn't as bad as its remake, Red Dragon. I thought that would be good, it turned out to be worse than the first version.

Summary: The book that caused commotion in all the world...
Review: I don't like reading in Engilish, that is why it's so extrange that I had read this book that has more than 700 pages...It was the magic of Harry Potter that atractt me so much...when I read some book of this collection I fell like I'am in a different world...a magic world.
The only thing that I hate of this book It was who died...I is not fear for Harry...the person that die was so good, he/she was one of my favourite character. But ovbiuslly, it can't we all perfect for Harry because if anyone good didn't die, the book could be predictable and that is no interesting.
This book has a lot of new character, good and bad ones and in all the sizes. It have a lot of changes, too. The person who die will change Harry's life a lot, and not for good, if you understand what I mean.
I finished reading the book yesterday...and I loved it. I repeat, the only thing that I don't like is who die...I don't know how J.K.Rowlling is going to write other book without this character that was so especial for Harry!!!
There are a lot of improvement in Neville and Ginny in this book. And Harry is going to have a girlfriend, no it's better if I said "something like a girlfriend".
You have to read this book...It's near to be perfect (for my it is not perfect because of the person who die).
So you know, you are not going to regreat. I regrated only in one part, and I think that you can imagine wich part I'm talking about, no?
If you would like to talk about Harry Potter's books, please, write me!!

Summary: FIVE STARS for Gryffindor!
Review: Forget Professor Snape, Lord Vuldimort, and Tom Riddle, the worst villain in all of Harry Potter-dom is Dolores Umbridge, a human toad who haunts every page of this book. I do not want to go into detail about the storyline. I am not going to give spoilers. What I will say is that Ms. Rowling reveals the evil at hand very slowly in "Order of the Phoenix," almost leaving the reader to forget that bigger things than school rivalries are ahead. Brilliant. Harry has changed in this book, too. He is older and more surley--in keeping with his age. He has angst, and he vents on everybody. You may not like him as much as you did in past books, but this is just more evidence of Ms. Rowling's depth as an author--her characters not only grow in her novels, they grow between books. I am not as euphoric about "Order of the Phoenix" as other readers--it is not my favorite Harry Potter novel. It is my second favorite novel in the series, I still like "Goblet of Fire" best. That said, I think this may be a better book for younger readers. "Goblet of Fire" ended with a horrific showdown in a graveyard that may have been too much for smaller ears (six- and seven-year-olds.) "Order of the Phoenix" is intense, but manages to avoid that horror element. When I was in elementary school, I never attempted to read anything even near this length. By the end of 2003, millions of children will have read the completely amazing, 800-page book. Hats off to you, Ms. Rowling... you are the real wizard! (I would have said witch, but it has the wrong connotation...)
