Summary: Exciting and Amazing
Review: This book was more than I expected from J.K. Rowling, it is really exciting and amazing. We can clearly see that Harry is growing up and that he's becoming a great wizard. All the elements of the previous books are here and there many new things happening that don't let you put the book down until you finish reading it. I hope we don't have to wait another 3 years for book 6...

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: Harry Potter is no longer the sweet little boy. In the Order of the Phoenix, Harry enters teenage hood and dishes out some of what was coming to his cousin and he has quite a temper. As always there is great mystery at the end of the book with the reader wanting to reread the 800+ pages to see what they might have missed! JK Rowling has great talent and we can't wait for the next book!

Summary: Has Some Suspense
Review: Very Suspensful. Especially at the end when you think Professor McGonagall, Hermione, or Ron Might Die. It is filled with twists and turns. So I give it 5 Stars!

Summary: Wow
Review: When I started reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix, I expectd it to be like the previous four books. Yet, after i started reading it, I thought that it was MUCH better. The new harry potter book is exiting, suspensfull, and at a few times, scary. But most of all, i just found this book excellent. It was very well written, and I liked how there were many refrences out of previous books. I know some of you feel that this book is too scary for preteens, but honesty i am only 12 , and I dont think it is a bad book for anyone to read. My 8 yr old brother loved it! I advise anyone that is questioning if it is ok for their child to read this book, to go ahead and let them! It is an excellent book, and no one should miss out on it!

Summary: A kid's book not for kids
Review: Harry Potter meets Ayn Rand in the fifth book of the Harry Potter series. While other reviewers have likened THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX to horror stories, to me it is clearly not about twisted psychopaths, but about twisted people within a terrifying and corrupt political system. The `horror' in the book is about the disgard for truth (the truth that Harry represents) and the destruction of the most basic human rights (including, among others, the right of students to be safe in the company of their teachers). Dolores Umbridge is without question the most frightening character Rowling has ever created (and I include Voldemort in that assessment). The newest Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is a woman maddened by the lust for power and twisted enough to do anything to hold onto it. She reminds me of many Ayn Rand villains, particularly Comrade Sonya, the power-mad woman in WE THE LIVING. The ugliness in ORDER OF THE PHOENIX is about the twisting of humans into monstrous emotional shapes, and that Harry survives this year relatively unscathed is more miraculous than his other four escapes put together. As usual, Harry is stoic, smart and bold; but his understandable bitterness at his treatment in the wizarding world has made him much older than before, and what he will learn about people he loves in the course of this book will age him even further. Hermione is evolving from the book-mad honor student into something more, as is Ron (and their bickering is getting worse all the time). The twins, Fred & George, are in high gear for comic relief in this book -- they are delightful in every scene, and their final scene is one of the book's highlights, for me. And Dumbledore's absence from Harry's side at almost every moment of this year forces Harry to dig deeper and be more resourceful than ever. You should enjoy the peek inside the Ministry of Magic, which we have had referenced in other books but never experienced. It's vintage Rowling, with lots of delightful tricks to make it unique and interesting. ORDER OF THE PHOENIX is brilliant -- but it's not a kid's book. It is a frightening look at what humans can become and what they can do to each other, particularly when truth no longer matters in the climb for power. Luckily, Harry still prevails, though one wonders what emotional scars will be left on him by the death of one of the main characters. I'm sure we'll see those in Book Six.

Summary: Order of the Phoenix
Review: The first four where good but I'm afraid this one is boring. I think it will not hold young childrens attention and will not make a good movie

Summary: Magical Rollercoaster!
Review: Having watched the first two movies, I was caught up in the Harry Potter hype. I ordered the first four books at the same time as "Order of the Phoenix." I buzzed through the first four quickly. I couldn't put them down! Then came the fifth installment and I continue to be caught up in the series. Ms Rowling brings the characters to life. I can empathize with Harry the feelings he displays. I can't wait for the sixth book to come out!

Summary: Fabulous
Review: J.K. Rowling has yet again woven one of the most original ideas for a story into another riveting novel (which I found extremely hard to put down), full of humor and horror. The newly introduced characters (such as Professor Umbridge, who is utterly appalling and I truyly hated her throughout the novel) make the tale yet a little more fascinating than it was before. Full of suspense, it is a must read for everyone, even non-Harry Potter fans.

Summary: No 0 Stars?
Review: I hated it...I'm sorry...I just did. The plot was rushed,the death was no suprise,simply a shock to the system. It didn't live up to what I expected...I hope book 6 is better,or I'll simply get book 7 from the library,just as skeptically as I started with book 1.

Summary: JK ROWLING HAS REALLY DONE A SERVICE TO ALL YOUNG READERS
Review: This was definently a very good book, I can't say the best because they are all absolutely brilliant. Finally Harry is a real teenager and has a dark side. She writes with such creativity and style it is hard to put her book down, but the best part is that she adds something to the lives of children who were raised watching television or playing video games. She gave them a book which is thicker than all the Lord of the Rings books put together, she made six year olds read it continously for months. I know that if it wasn't for her my love of reading would certainly have not been found.
It was a superb book and well worth the wait
