Summary: J.K. Does it again
Review: Another great book written by the insperational J.K. Rowling. This book was most interesting in the fact that Harry has mood swings, has to deal with the teenage life, and with the fact that the ministry is trying to expell him. This book showed the hardships that Harry had to endure, and his new and highly explosive temper. It was another success and I can't wait for Rowling to finish her next master piece.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The Empire Strikes Back of Harry Potter Books
Review: First, let me say that I promise not to ruin anything. I just finished reading it and I walk away with the feeling that this book, while very neccesary Plot-wise, will make a horrible movie for all its loose ends. Don't get too attached to very many subplots, unless you don't mind waiting another three years to see how everything finally turned out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The order of the Phoenix.
Review: Although saddened by the death of one of my favorite characters I feel Rowling has evolved. The story is more suited for older kids and has more depth that yonger children may not be able to grasp. I believe it to be the best one yet if you are 13 or over, Not as happy as the first three but not quite like the 4th.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Book 5 = 5 stars
Review: (This is a spoiler-free review.) Rowling's done it again--another standout book in the Harry Potter series. The fifth book--The Order of the Phoenix--lives up to the reputation of its predecessors and then some. In by far the darkest of the five tales, Harry faces more than just his nemesis Voldemort. Harry must face his own inner demons while coping with some more typically teenage issues.

To be honest, I thought Harry a bit too angry for parts of the book--I kept wanting him to snap out of it and think more rationally. But when I think back to when I was fifteen--I don't know how much more logical my own thought would have been. So in that sense, Rowling does capture the turmoil of the teenage years brilliantly. I did enjoy Neville having a larger role in this book--I hope we continue to see more of him. I was a bit confused by the Luna character--not quite sure what we're meant to make of her. The villainous Dolores Umbridge (I do love Rowling's play-on-words) is wonderful and Snape continues to the be the most fantastic character you love to hate. Of course there is the one character who dies...very sad, I will miss that character greatly. The club set up by Harry and pals is really quite good and Draco Malfoy's continued annoying presence is always good for a laugh. It was indeed great to see the staff all pulling together to support one another and Hogwarts when it was truly needed. And needless to say--Dumbledore is amazing!

I read the book through in less than two days (and enjoyed every page, it was just so good!)--and now of course I am sorry I did so, seeing as it is over! Perhaps I will just have to go back and re-read them all...hurry up with the next book!

Summary: Thank you Amazon!
Review: Pre-ordered this book and kept my fingers crossed about the June 21 delivery promise. But received the book at 9:30am on June 21!
I could give the book to my son Rohan right before he got out of the bed! The joy and surprise on his face was worth everything! He is a big time Harry Potter fan and hasn't kept the book down since. In fact he and his friend have been making rounds to each other's homes and each one is taking turn to read aloud a chapter from the book from their own personal copies!!

Thanks a lot Amazon for saving this lazy dad the hassel of waking up early to queue in front of the bookstore!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fabulous!
Review: Believe the hype this book is awesome! I won't say anything because I don't want to give anything away...but it is very very good! J.K. Rowling has done it again!! Read it!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth the wait!!!
Review: Book 5 was worth the wait! It's darker, scarier, frustrating, and creepy but wonderful. The characters are all developed more deeply and you see Harry's flaws more in this book, he's not the perfect little hero. The return of old characters like Lupin and Rita Skeeter are welcome, and the real Mad-Eye is back too. Don't worry, there are still enough loose ends at the end of the book to leave you hoping JKR doesn't take so long to put out Book 6!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Turning Point of Series
Review: Order of the Phoenix is a turning point in the Potter series. The first half was filled with angry questioning by Harry that comes with age while the latter is filled with intrigue and mystery, which Rowling does not disappoint on. Although long, I found it was a quick read due to Rowling's flowing way of telling a story. The explanation at the end by Dumbledore left me with some closure and a reduced wish for another book as soon possible. Overall, the book set a new tone for Harry and his future. To avoid plot summary, I will just say that it was an enjoyable read and not worthy of any movie version of it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: an older harry
Review: This is definatly a much darker book than the previous four. Harry now has to deal with the fact that Voldemort is back and still wants to kill him. He also has to deal with a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who makes life difficult to all around him. Will everyone believe Dumbledore and Harry's claim that The Dark Lord returned? Will Harry meet him again? And will Harry finally get kissed?? The answers are in this book. A wonderfully crafted story that makes you wish you never reach the last page.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: As Amazing as Ever...
Review: She did it again. This book is DEFINITELY darker than any of the others... you understand the darkness that is coming to the wizarding world. J.K. Rowling is an amazing woman. Whatever you thought was going to happen, probably won't... but you will never believe what does happen.

The end will leave you speechless... and in some ways, you may not be sure you want to know how it all will end.
