Rating:  Summary: An Amazing Read Review: I just finished my book...after wiping several tears away...and am so glad that I relished every moment of this thoughtful and well written book. As a 29 year old fan of the series, I was not in any way displeased with it. Yes, I was on the edge of my seat many times- especially with the horrible Umbridge! Harry is growing up and feeling the many pains of getting older and maturing. I look forward to Book 6. Thank you J.K. Rowling for writing such a wonderful series... From someone who stayed up past midnight to buy the book and saw the swarms of delighted children lined up to buy a BOOK of all things...Wow!
Rating:  Summary: Too long with too little Review: The Order of the Phoenix was way too long in my opinion. Most of the time there is nothing happening except school work and all the important stuff is in the second last chapter, period. I had to read way too much in order to come to the interesting parts and I was not as interested anymore. The book should have been half its current size and it might have been good. I would have enjoyed more about V-Voldemort and less about pranks in school. Anyways, hope that the next one is more on the lines of the "Chamber of Secrets" and the "Prisoner of Azkaban" which were definitely the best books amongst Harry Potter series.
Rating:  Summary: Fans Will Not Be Disappointed Review: J.K. Rowling's hungrily awaited Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix has arrived and fans will get their full fill of everything they love about this series. Everyone's favourite characters from all the past four books will make appearances, often in surprising ways, and some familiar ones, such as Ginny and Neville, will be deepened and enriched. Many questions are answered and some others are introduced. There are suprises, fights, sullen teenagers and, even, a touch of awkward romance. This book is both darker and bigger than the previous volumes. It is not better than the others but it is not worse and it will live up to expectations.
Rating:  Summary: Disappointing Review: While enjoying the four previous books immensley; I was rather disappointed in this long awaited sequel. It might be the longest book thus far, but feel it was unduly inflated (perhaps to assuage the readers long wait). To many undeveloped area's and repetition of thoughts as though just adding filler. Perhaps the editing process is what let the author and reader down. Or to much time in between writing efforts to maintain a continuative thought process. Nevertheless, will wait to read book six and hope for the best. Four out of five is a great average!
Rating:  Summary: good booK Review: I read the New Harry Potter book in 3 days ( of course I am a fast reader) this book was excellent! I quite enjoyed it, and the Return Of DOBBY was great ( I love that naughty house elf) The only thing that upsets me is who ends up getting killed (I am not gonna tell ya) you will have to read it for yourself!) But I would suggest this book, especially if you enjoyed reading the other 4 Harry Potter Books!
Rating:  Summary: The Phoenix Rises out of Its long await Review: This is not only the best book in the series it is also the most fun to read. At times i found myself actually laughing out loud at the antics of Fred and George Weasely. But beyond the humour i found this to be the most chilling of all the books. Plot; 11/10 This book has the best plot of any of the H/P books. It is about the order of the phoenix (an anti voldemort group) and how they defy the ministry of magic. With inventive twists and turns this book kept me at the edge of my seat at all times Characters; 9/10 Although the characters are intrigueing i couldn't help getting ticked off at harry for being so darn emotional Overall; 10/10 As i said it is simply the best of harry potter and i highly reccomend it.
Rating:  Summary: How could Rawlings do it again? Review: Wow, wow, wow, wow. I can not belive how great this book is. I was a little suprised to see the 870 page book but now that I have read it, I wish it was 2000 page book. It is my favorite of the series. Really amazing.
Rating:  Summary: PERFECTION!!! Review: This book was absolutly fabulous. There is nothing I would change about it and there are not many books that I could say that about. It was suspensful and intreging. It was far more ingenuitive than any other book I had ever read. There were plot changes and new dimention to this book that haven't been portrayed in the other books. Please, please read this book. You will feel brimming with excitment and heart pounding pleasure by the end of this great book.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent! It achieves its purpose! Review: Some might say that this book was long and drawn out. I often felt so, but it was entirely necessary. JK Rowling did a wonderful job of expressing Harry's growth and social life while moving the plot along. The book should not be any shorter than it is. This book is the turning point in the series. The other books seem to address trivial matters while this one focuses on things that are more important in life (human or wizard). The only problem I had was that when I reached the end, I was not satisfied. The book had a dramatic conclusion (a good thing) but I can't wait to find out what happens next!
Rating:  Summary: I lost sympathy Review: The Harry Potter I encountered in this book was unlike the young boy I met in the previous books. He is so angry and impatient. At one point in the story, I lost all sympathy with him and was hoping for his downfall. The ending was too obvious, unlike in the other books. Overall, it was enjoyable, but I hope she makes him less angry in the next book.
