Summary: Where do I begin...
Review: I have read every book in this series and was waiting for the 5 book. I was excited...now I'm disapponted...and my wallet is 40 bucks lighter. This book could have been 400 pages shorter if they cut out all of the ers, mms, and hmmms. Come on. I'm 15 and i don't mumble and crap myself when I talk to a girl. Voldemort's "plan" was mediocore at best and I'm still trying to find out what the point of this book was. Besides to kill off the only good charecter. All in all this book ranks way up there with Robert Jordan's recent work. If you want to read it I'ld have to say check it out of the library or wait for the paper back version. Maybe by that time they would have edited it.

Summary: Very good story, but very long as well
Review: For all die hard Harry Potter fans, you will truly love this book and not be able to put it down until it's finished. Even then, you'll probably want to read it again, hoping you can pull even more information out of it the second time through. The only drawback to this book (if there is one) is the length. Long novels are great, but at times it seems as if Rowling is quite verbose. For example - a reviewer said the opening sequence was quite short. Hah! By the time Harry and Company finally get to Hogwarts, 200 pages have gone by. For reference, you'd almost be finished with book 1 (Sorcerer's Stone) in the same amount of pages! Harry continues to mistrust Snape - and as usual, never thinks to go to Snape when he needs help. What I still don't understand is, as usual, when Snape helps or saves Harry, Harry never apologizes to Snape for being mean, angry, etc. Teenager or not, for the kind of character Rowling has written Harry as, he should be a lot smarter when it comes to dealing with Snape: That includes recognizing him as a friend of Dumbledores and apologizing for always fighting with him. At any rate, it's a great book that is worth reading, but for the not-150%-Potter fans, this book might seem a slightly excessive in length.

Summary: Least of all Potter books
Review: I say I don't like this book not because of the superb story telling of JK Rowling but rather because of what's becoming of my favorite character. I've read all Potter books and I say this one is my least favorite. Harry has grown to become an arrogant brat while Ron, Hermione and the rest of the characters has retained their personality. Every 3 to 5 pages you'll come across Harry being upset and losing his temper over something non trivial. This book also dwelled more on his studies. There's really no action to this. The climax of the story is mediocre and short. A waste of pages If I must say. This won't make a good movie.

Summary: Harry Potter and the Third Reich
Review: I've always dreaded sequels, but HP continues to surprise and up until this book delight. This book was written during tense times in the world today and it shows during the unfolding of Rowlings chapters. It's a dark book, for dark times and at first I didn't think it would be appropriate for children, but then decided that this book continues to empower the characters in the book. And with clear examples in her new book of how politics can squeeze freedom and joy from our lives, she has given necessary tools to children all over the globe on how to recognize or watch out for dangerous "laws." We don't know what kind of world is in store for our children when they grow older. The HP books will help them grow in character and begin to find the inner guidance and strength to make decisions for themselves one day.

Summary: Voldemorts Plan Made No Sense!
Review: I really liked most of the book, although I would have enjoyed it more if it was a few hundred pages shorter (and without Cho Chang), however I did notice that Voldemort did not need to lure Harry into the Department of Mysteries when his Death Eaters were already there and most able to find the prophecy themselves. That's the only thing that bugged me! Otherwise, the story's great!

Summary: Latest Potter Book Does Not Disappoint
Review: Though it takes a while to get going, this was a thoroughly enjoyable read. Rowling did a wonderful job of not making things too predictable and, though I feared the worst, the ending was wonderful. I'm already looking forward to book 6.

Summary: A non-stop rollercoaster ride
Review: I have always wanted to find out what the hype about Harry Potter is all about. Being the impatient person that I am, I decided a few weeks ago to get the new Harry Potter book "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". I decided to jump ahead instead of starting at the beginning with "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" because I just wasn't patient. Now that I have read the book, I am still a bit at loss why the huge media hype over a series of books. Still anything that gets children to read is a good thing. I can't compare this book to any of the Harry Potter books since I didn't read them (yet). I will certainly give my opinion to what I have read. Critics say that there is a darker tone in "The order of the Phoenix". I don't know about that but I will say that J.K Rowlings wonderfully delves into the adolescent angst that occurs among young boys when they were or are Harry Potter's age (of 15 years). His confusion with the opposite sex and what they want, and his anger towards two of his best friends because they were at Hogwarts while he was being miserable at his aunt and uncle's house is excellent examples of the fact that Harry Potter is not completely flawless and that he has his fair share of character flaws. The early hostility Harry had towards his friends showed that Harry is not perfect and that he is only human. What really sucked me into the book was the human interactions among Harry and the other characters. I honestly thought J.K Rowlings did a magnificent job of writing towards a younger crowd without patronizing them or insulting their intelligence yet manages to attract an adult audience. As far as characters goes, I absolutely loved the villainess Professor Umbridge. She was one sadistic lady when it came to detention. Harry's interactions with Cho Chang was compelling. I really think the confusion that Harry felt could is what a lot of young boys feels today when they are just hitting puberty and starts becoming more interested in the opposite sex. J.K Rowlings is brilliant to make Harry someone any young boy could relate to. Although I have read a lot more violent books than "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", I must admit there were moments in the book that unnerved me a bit. Overall I absolutely loved "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". Now while I do think the media hype is a bit too much, the substance in the writing is certainly worth the ridiculous media circus that the series attracts. I definitely plan on reading the other books in the Harry Potter series.

Summary: good book but moves too slow
Review: I would say that the the plot and the story is all good but it moves too slowly and there is a very little bit of voldemort only towards the end.there is a drastic change in harrys behavior and is just to fast and the book has several mistakes and must definetly be edited again but otherwise you should buy the book and its definetly worth the money and the wait.
so buy it and enjoy reading it

Summary: A book to empower the senses and envoke the mind- priceless
Review: Indescribable is the first word that comes to mind when trying to explain OOTP. So far, this has been my personal favorite book of the series. Every single character has returned, new memories are reveled, new plot lines unravel in every chapter, characters fall in and out of love at the turn of a page-- it's hormones and despair, joy and sorrow, frustration and unbelieveable suspense at everywhere you look.
But, remarkably, nothing has changed. Harry, while considerably more angry (as is obvious in the first few pages) is still the hero of our 7 part epic, brave and courageous; Ron, the lanky, red haired side kick is as loveable as ever with a few surprises up his sleeve; and Hermione is still as studious as can be, making sure that nothing can happen without her and her abounding knowledge of everything.
In short, if you don't read this book, or the series at all, you're missing out on one of the greatest literary achievments of all time!!
(By the way, I made sure that I made this book last and actually spanned it for a whole 15 days. When I choose to read it again, however, it will be essential that I never put it down and eat through the pages as if they were chocolate frogs, wishing once again to revisit this timeless tale of The Boy Who Lived.)
