Summary: I wanted to love it . . . I really did!
Review: I really wanted to love this fifth book in the Harry Potter , series. But reading over 800 pages about a moody wizard boy, was driving me crazy.. .Harry Potter seemed to either be angry, upset, or confused throughout the whole book. I always turned the page, hoping he wasn't going to have another temper tantrum. The story also seemed to move a little to slow for me, and he did not even get to Hogwars until a couple of hundred of pages into the book. And near the end, I was prepared for the "death of a character" that I had read so much about. Though the death to someone close to HP came, it was rushed through, and the book seemed to end abrubtly. I can say , I did not love it like the others, but like everyone else, I am looking forward to the next one.

Summary: The best book of 2003
Review: Harry potter and the order of the phoenixis the best book yet that J.K. Rowling has written. If you do not like books because they do not keep you interested you should read Harry Potter because it keeps you interested through the whole book and is a real page turner.

Summary: No Words To Describe This Book
Review: Lets start off by saying I HATE reading with a passion. In school, spark notes is the way i get by. The Harry Potter Series has captured my mind and left me lingering for more and more of them. The downfall of this book is that it took 3 years to produce. Let me say it was worth the wait. This book was filled with suspense at the end of every chapter and kept me up until 3 some nights just wondering what happens next. Being the longest book of the series to this point it took me a little longer to read it (which is always good). I recommend anyone that has not read it to definately buy if or if you have never read a harry potter book, you do not know what you are missing!

Summary: What a Book!!
Review: Wow.. I loved this book soo much. Although at first it may start off slow, once you get past the first 5 or 10 chapters...everything will be alright. To me the main this that i was shocked about was the death of a character. That was my favorite character...:( Even though it may seem like Harry has some temper problems, its still a very good book. But a long one, 870 pages and 39 chapters. A good summer read. I bought it the day it came out and finished it 2 weeks later. This is one I recomend people get!!!

Summary: Harry putts a spell on me again
Review: 4 Years ago Harry Potter began my reintrest in reading. Now with the new adition i read more then ever and can thank Jk for that. Having read many book recently of all different types I can say this is one of the best. It is the only one i stayed up all night to read because I simply couldn't put it down. The magic was great. The story suspensful. There was a certain person you just hated but had to keep reading to see what horrible thing she would do next. There were also a few laugh mainly thanks to George and Fred who appeared many times in this book. But the character who stood out the most was by far Profesor Mcnogall. She was hilarious in her disaproval of Umbridge. There was also memeroable scenes for Dumbledore. It shows why he is the best wizard around. The only disapointment for me and the others i talked to was the lack of snogging. I was so happy for Cho and Lil harry what happened? And what about Hermione and Ron? Ron was mighty jealous of her relationship with Krum but nothing beyond that. Overall very good read.

Summary: This is for all of those who rated this book a 1 star ratinm
Review: I'm sorry to say but after reading many reviews from people and looking at all the 1 star reviews i have decided that it is adultswho are writing the reviews that say the book is horrible. Sure the book is a little lengthy but most of those who say they read it and didnt like it why didnt you just stop if it was that hrrible. also the way some people tried to blow out of perportion the use of swear words seems ridiculous. sure there are some but its not beieng repeated in every other sentence. Thebn to those who say would you let your 9 year old read something as "viloent and depressing" as this(which it realy isn't.) Why not let them read it? If you teach your kids good values and habits you shouldnt have to worry about them doing something "drastic" that they picked up from the book. obviously you arent doing your job as a parent very well if you have to worry about this. with allthis said i once again want to comend J.K. on the superb job she [did!!!]

Summary: They get better and better....and darker and darker
Review: When I put the book down after I finished it I felt annoyed. Not because of the story itself, but the fact that I have to wait a long time for the next book in this enchanting series to come out, such was the vice like grip the book takes on you.
In this new novel we gradually see Harry coming of age into a host of new problems, not only with Voldemort, but with his own emotions, as you can see his teenage outburts of rage and crushes on girls. The story is darker, more dangerous, and more magical than the previous novels.
J.K Rowling writes with such magic and even though the book is longer than all of the others in the series, it is the most intriguing and exciting.
The last two hundred pages of this book will leave you breathless and exhausted such is the action and suspense that take place, but I can assure you will leave you craving for more.
In other words a fantastic novel that is recommended to everybody. I hate reading but I get a joy with reading the Harry Potter novels, especially this one.
I gaurantee you will love it....but make sure you read the series in order...otherwise you spoil the magic for yourself....
Go buy this book now.

Summary: A brilliant addition to the series
Review: Although this book has been reviewed extensively, I felt an obligation to contribute my review as a big fan of the series. This is an amazing contribution to the series, and I think Rowling deserves to be the richest person in the UK. She tells an amazing story without being pretentious or silly. This book shows her skill in character development. Other reviewers have critisized her portrayal of Harry as an angry, self-conscious teenager. However, I think this was a wise choice. Other reviewers have complained that Rowling took away their hero. On the contrary, I think that Rowling made Harry more real and thus more admirable and easy to identify with. I felt that his feelings, although sometimes irrational, were understandable. I also want to commend Rowling on her introduction of possibly the most detestable character ever written: Dolores Umbridge. I picture this woman as the monotone Jabba the Hut-looking monster in Monsters, Inc. She is truly horrible, and it reflects well on Rowling that readers feel strong emotions when reading her book. Umbridge isn't even a character you love to hate, like Snape, you just HATE her. I won't give anything away, but my one disappointment was that certain characters did not get their come-uppance or did not get enough of one. However, this is Rowling's choice, and it did not come close to ruining anything for me. Also, some might be upcoming. All in all, a marvel of a book, one I could barely put down.

Summary: Order Of The Phoenix Does Not Disappoint!
Review: With all of the anticipation and suspense surrounding this publication, I am thrilled to say that this book did not succumb to the pressure of it all. I had a difficult time putting this one down to attend to the business of life! J.K. Rowling is my hero! Way to go! Keep them coming!

Summary: Rowling has done it again!
Review: I cannot get over what a fantastic imagination Ms. Rowling has and she has proved herself as a wonderful writer once again. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the darkest and most serious book in the series, but that does not mean that it is not entertaining. The reader is taken on a ride as Harry struggles with his own fate. Each and every character develops even more in this book, especially Neville. I was pleased to learn more about Neville's character and Ginny Weasley as well. Ms. Rowling manages to make the reader feel like they ar part of the magical world and I know that I wanted to strangle Professor Umbridge just like I was a student at Hogwarts. If all you are looking for is fun and games this is not the Harry Potter book for you, but if you want to know more about what make the character's tick, this is a superb book.
