Summary: truly an experience
Review: Joe Rowling has once again out done herself. Her latest book Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix casts Harry into a fresh wave of anxiety write from the start, when he can't fail to notice that Dumbledore has seem to forgotten him. What's worse is that Harry also seems to develop more of a sting in his personality that has been getting him into more trouble than usual, especially with the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Of course, there are still messes from last year that haven't been cleaned up. Harry has to deal with old school enemies, and the Ministry of Magic, which stoops to new lows to discourage the fact that Voldermort has really returned. The reason I rate the book so high is because it is truly an experience reading it. I guarantee that by the end you will have experienced every type of emotion known to man. At times, the words on the pages begin to sound so real and swirled with feelings that you would swear the whole thing was really happening. Joe Rowling has successfully written Harry Potters 5th year at Hogwarts.

Summary: Worth the 3 year wait!
Review: Three years of waiting, and the book is over in 24 hours. I would be disappointed if the book weren't so good! This is by far the best of the series. The characters are growing up and becoming more realistic- Harry Potter with teen angst! He's not always perfect, but more likeable now that he seems more real. Ron takes less of a sidekick role in this book, as does Hermione. My only complaint is that if the good guys are going to have their not-so-perfect aspects shown, perhaps it's time that we see that not all of the "bad guys" are 100% pure evil, except for Voldemort of course. The new defense against dark arts teacher is easy to hate, but hard to believe. Draco is as evil as ever, as are his cronies. The much talked about death in the book was a bit predictable, and I'm not sure why there were tears shed by the author because of it. In light of my small complaints, I will just say that this book was incredibly enjoyable, and I am already eagerly awaiting book 6. My advice to those who have not yet read book 5 is to take it slow- it's disappointing that it's over so fast! Enjoy!

Summary: GREAT BOOK BUT VERY CONFUSING
Review: Harry Potter Book Five is a wonderfully written book. I truly enjoyed reading it. Even though it is really long, there is lots of plot (almost too much) to fill the pages. JK has certainly struck gold with this one. There are returns of old characters (Remus Lupin, Mrs. Figg) and lots of new ones. The simpering Professer Umbridge left me screaming at the book most of the time. Luna Lovegood was witily stupid. Even though my favorite characters (Fred & George and Hagrid) weren't in the book enough, it is a great read. Someimes you want to scream at the book, though, so be warned.

Summary: Well Worth The Wait
Review: When I found out for the second time that book 5 had been delayed, I decided I would not be buying it when it came out...All this is to say that I didn't sleep last night on account of me reading the entire book in one sitting. The book is much better written than any of the previous books, and the character developement, revealed story aspects, and unexpected twists and turns make this an absolute must buy if you have read the previous 4. The book completely blew me away, more than once actually, during my reading, and I have no doubt that it will do that same thing for you. After this book though, I must warn you, you shall likely be very upset that book 6 doesn't even have a release date.

Summary: worth the wait...
Review: This latest installment of the Harry Potter series is another excellent piece of work by J.K. Rowling. This book was much darker than the rest (which is seen by the deep blues of the cover art) as it seemed to be filled with hints of impending doom. Every book in the series gets more involved and more mature as Harry and his friends (and readers) get a year older. This 870-page text was well worth the wait and the time taken to read it, and it was almost impossible to put down, with its plot twists, action sequences, and revealed secrets. I highly recommend it to young and old alike.

Summary: Growing up adds new burdens
Review: I've been waiting for the book to come out for two years, and as soon as I got the book, I started reading and didn't put it down until I was done. Harry has been forced to grow up fast by the events in his life, yet he continues to be treated as a child by people around him. I loved the book, but my heart broke with every new challenge Harry and the gang faced. The tone of the novel is older and darker, there is a sense of the lost of pure innocence. Although that saddens me, I think Rowling did a wonderful job in writing Harry as a teenager no longer seeing the world with rose-colored lens. He has become jaded but he has not lost his principles or ideals. I would highly recommend this book to anyone over twelve.

Summary: Best one yet!
Review: I didn't think she could top book four. I was so wrong. This is excellent! Full of suspense, intrique and of course chock full of more information on the "boy who lived" and "he who shall not be named". Absolutely wonderful! This is a real page turner that I could not put down until I was done. And like Rowling always does at the end of these books, leaves you wanting more, eagerly awaiting the next installment and praying that it comes soon, so that you can learn even more information, and that the questions that have formed in your mind will be answered. Now the wait is on again. But I am content to reread this book until this day comes. WELL DONE ROWLING!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your fine work!!!!!!
