Summary: Still Reading, but VERY IMPRESSED!
Review: ... These first few chapters prove that Rowling wishes to continue the story from a maturing point of view. With each year, Harry grows and develops as the world around him becomes more serious and frightening. I don't know how any of us will be able to put this book down. Enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than IV Already
Review: Okay I just got this book about 2 hours ago via Fedex and what more can I say that its already turning out great. Im only on page 80 and alot of stuff is already going on in the book. Its bigger and better than ever before. It's definately worth getting ASAP. Some unexpected things happen with neighbors in the beggining and trouble greets Harry again. Highly Reccomended. I think im gonna go read some more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A perfectly rereadable 5th book
Review: Sloppily put together and just slightly rushed? Not this time around! Thankfully it has taken 3 years to create another Harry Potter novel, otherwise I might have searched out and located Rowling for a little sit down chat. While Goblet of Fire felt rushed and not up to par, Order of the Phoenix bursts through our neat and tidy little world of Harry Potter, shattering all ideas of how righteous anyone was/is. Introduced is a whole ship load of new characters including a girl who can change her appearance at will, a 'loony' wide eyed girl who loves well...the craziest things, a disgrunted house elf, a mean but twisted evil and nice teacher who plans to take over the school, and a host of all kinds of other characters. Mix in a few tear jerking deaths (::sob!::) and fun filled moments (woo! Fred and George rule!) and get ready for a wild ride! Rowling's newest novel takes you on a thrilling ride through her awesome and inspired world.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best H.P. Book Ever!
Review: I have already got and read the book by opening day. (You need not know how). It was excellent and unpredictable. Rowling is not losing her touch or slacking off in order to hurry. No matter how [costly] the book is you must read it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very fulfilling
Review: I have to say that I was not at all disappointed with the much-hyped Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. However, if you are looking for a little closure on events left open from Goblet, you won't find it in this one.

As the book, starts even more threads are opened up and while it might seem a little frustrating at times, it is all part Rowling's plan to keep her readers hooked (and she does just that!)

As everyone can imagine the book starts out with Harry at Number Four Privet Drive, but it takes an expected and quick dive into the thick plot. The first chapter is a special treat, albeit confusing. You receive a look in to life of Harry and Dudley and see how much they have actually grown up since the series started. The Dursley's are caught up in the magical action even more than usual, and Petunia offers a glimpse into how much magical knowledge she actually has.

As for Rowling's near-spoiler of admitting the death of a significant character, don't fret. Connoisseurs of The Goblet of Fire should already know what she was hinting at, but as for the rest, you will be surprised nonetheless.

Summary: the best Harry Potter yet!
Review: I just stayed up all night reading the latest Harry potter book. Let me tell you, it was worth the wait! In this volume, Harry's uncle, Bilbo, gives him a very powerful ring. Harry doesn't know what to do with it, so he asks his wizard friend, Gandalf, for advice. Gandalf tells him to find someone to marry and the give the ring to that person. Harry agrees and goes off on a quest to find a wife. He decides to bring his friends Merry, Pippin and Linus along with him.
I don't want to spoil the fun for the rest of you. Let's just say that Harry does indeed find a wife. You'll never guess who it is though! I'll give you a hint: the wife's name rhymes with Bollum.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lives up to the expectations of the series
Review: When I first picked this book up, I thought I'd NEVER finish it, it's huge! Almost 200 pages longer than Goblet of Fire! However, don't let the thickness of the spin wary you, this book was GREAT. I won't summarize the book, because I dont want to give away any parts of the plot, but all I need to say is this book definitely lived up to the expectations of this famous series about the boy wizard, Harry Potter. My favorite in the 7 part series is still Prisoner of Azkaban however, yet I still enjoyed this installment very much and I am sure you will too.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Harry Potter- a little boy no more!
Review: In JK Rowling's fifth installment of the Harry Potter, we no longer see the young wide-eyed wizard of past books. Instead we meet a brooding Harry, who seems to have some surprisingly selfish thoughts despite some of his selfless past actions. In other words, Harry's a teenager, and Rowling brilliantly creates that teenage agnst that we all know and love so well.

This book is definitely darker than any previous one, but not to worry this is still appropriate for the kids. It sounds like it would be quite a heavy book, but it's not much different that Goblet of Fire in weight. The structure is much like all the other books, and though a lot is explained in this book, don't worry this book has an open ended finish that promises more Harry fun in the next book.

The absolute best thing about this book is that the writing is 100% better and more polished that it's predicessor, the Goblet of Fire. Stylistically, this is best written Potter book to date. I think Rowling learned her lesson with the, at times sloppily written Goblet of Fire, and waited to release this one until it was perfect. Thought I still prefer The Prisoner of Azkaban, this story is one of the best Potter books yet.
