Summary: A dream book becomes Reality! Try the Audio CD's
Review: Wow,seriuosly don't read this if you can not wait another few years. Or start reading them once all of them come out! Amazon.com had a great price and is definetly worth it with the free shipping! All ages Fun! If you haven't already seen the movies, buy them with this book right now. J.K. Rowling's mind and imagination has got to be some what similiar to that of Albert Einstein! If you think your too busy to read a nearyl 1,000 page book, I guarentee you'll be fine. I know a 10 year old who finished the thing the day it was shipped to her house. ... If you want to build your voabulary, become a good reader, and enjoy life...here it is....... Wow

Summary: Around p. 700 it really starts to pick up!
Review: It is a neat world that Rowlings has created in the Potter series and her characters have depth and are interesting. But this is just not her best work. The pace of the plot unfolding is painfully slow. Harry's adolescent moroseness gets tiring for a protagonist whom the reader knows and loves so much. And, despite the tome's length, readers might notice more "inconsistencies" than previous volumes. You have to read it to keep up with the series. And, around p. 700 it really starts to pick up a bit. But this volume is this reader's least favorite of the series. . .

Summary: Good reading....
Review: "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" is a very nice book. J.K. Rowling gives a great description of all the happenings in Hogwarts and beyond. It is a bit scary and sad however. In fact this book solves many mysteries from the previous books (like the secret of why Voldemort wanted to kill Harry in the first place). The "Defense Against the Dart Arts" teacher Professor Umbridge has a very mean attitude and makes Harry feel particularly horrible. This book is very good but I would say that "The Prisoner of Azkaban" is better however.

Summary: Fifth Books Rocks
Review: The fifth book, though it maybe longer then the other four which I did not mind in the least,was a great book. Though the third book is still my number one favorite. The fifth book tells alot more of what really happened fifteen years ago when Voldemort tried to kill Harry when he was a baby. Though I could have done without the new teacher of Defence Against the Dark Arts, I love what the students do to her especially Fred and George. You really feel Harry's pain and anger when you read the book. ... All in all this book was a great read and I could not put it down. I'm looking forward to 6 and 7.

Summary: The worst book in the series
Review: This is not to say the book is bad, it is not, but it gets off to a very slow start, and much of it is consumer with Harry's self-pitying whining and adolescent anger at anything and everything - certainly not the most entertaining subjects to read about. The plot is what one might expect, neither surprising nor disappointing, but the sense of wonder and excitement that pervaded the other books in this series is greatly diminished. Still a good book, worth reading, but I hope the 6th is better.

Summary: What Happened to the Magic??
Review: What happened to Rowling's brilliant language and humor that were seen in the first four books??? The plot was disappointing and not all that coherent or credible. Here's hoping for recaptured magic in Book 6.

Summary: Major Twist from the earlier books...
Review: I had expected the flow of the plot to shift smoothly from the Goblet of Fire to the Order of Phoenix. I found it disappointed in the first third because Harry's summer just never seems to end. Most of the actions occurs during the school year- the best time. But once school picked up, it got better and I couldn't stop reading when I got to 500th-something pages! I sat on the grass for hours just to finish the book! Yech, I hated Professor Umbridge... she makes my worst teacher sound like a piece of cake. I do agree with some of the reviewers that Harry's character is darker and more mature. I suppose that it was how Rowling felt during the time when she was writing book as she wrote it through 9/11 and the aftermath and as the violence in Mid-East grew. I mean, at least that's how my friend sets her novels. I felt that Harry's character was not appealing and younger children shouldn't read this book if they consider Harry Potter as their hero. He's becoming a teenager- scary! I always felt a twinge of pain ever time Harry goes through one of his mood swings. I'd tell more but there are plenty of people in the world who hasn't read the book yet! I wonder what's in store for the 6th book...???

Summary: Great Book But not the best
Review: I absolutely am a Harry Potter addict so of course I loved this book. Sure many people say it's too long but those extras will most likely play into future plots. I wont say much about the book itself for those of you who still haven't finished.
I never found a strong plot in this book but instead it was made of many sub plots and a final scene. Of course the dream was the plot but it wasn't like the plots of the other books where it was there through the whole book, strong and obviously the plot. I have a feeling that these sub plots really will tye into future books but the lack of a strong center hurt my overall feelings of the book.
I still loved this book and it ranks in at number two in the series (Azkaban being #1). Make sure you have read the other books before this one because this book relies on your past knowledge. but still go for it this is a wonderful book that is impossible to put down!!!

Summary: Excellent and Surprising!
Review: I have to say, first of all, that I did not enjoy the last four books. I had to put them down, pause for a month, and start reading from the beginning in order to finish it. With "harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," I read for hours on end. I'm not finished yet, but this book is difficult to put down once my neck starts to stiffen. Thus far, I've noticed rather significant changes in old characters and changes in character addition. Harry seems more like a real person now also. This book seems to leave you hanging with something on every page. I think this is really the first time I can say that I've gotten lost in a book. J.K. Rowling most likely did us a favor by taking such a long time on this story. I also think it helped that no information on the book was released before it's actual release. I am thoroughly enjoying this book.

Summary: Surprise Death
Review: This was a really great book! I read in about 1 day and was totally absorbed. Though I think most readers were really surprised by the death at the end. I really like this character, that's why I'm only giving four stars.
