Summary: Its not bad...i guess
Review: I dont know, I kinda agree with some of the other reviews here. I guess I was just expecting too much after such a long long long wait. Long wait. Maybe I was just disappointed by the fact that 870 pages went by really fast and now we have to wait again. It was a good story, I would definitely recommend everyone read it, but is it the best Potter book out? No way. Its the Phantom Menace of Harry Potter. It had to introduce lot of stuff for whats coming up later. Hopefully 6 and 7 will be out soon and make up for this one.

Summary: Not her best, but still good!
Review: Well, out of the 770 some pages (in the British version) it takes 180 pages until Harry is at school, and about 400 until the action begins to heat up. Slowly, mind you. I thought that there was a MUCH larger emphasis on how Harry does in school then in all of the other four books combined. I also thought that the book was held together by a much thinner plot then the other books, especially the fourth one. In the Order of the Phoenix, Harry is having sporadic dreams about an unusual hallway with a mysterious door. Once Harry finally gets to this part of the book, the action happens way too fast and is over too quickly for a 770 page book.
However, once it gets going, it is really good! I wouldn't call it her best, because I still think that the Goblet of Fire was better, but the Order of the Phoenix is still one of the best Harry Potters out there. I highly recommend reading it, because it still is an excellent book!

Summary: Well Worth the Wait!
Review: As an adult & avid HP fan, I could not wait for this book to come out-it was worth the wait! Although darker than the first 4 books, the story is just as good and even more exciting! What is behind the door in the dream? Who will die? Along with the suspense, there were plenty of laughs-I can not get enough of the Weasley twins! I just could not put this down. I work full-time, have a 3 year old & still read this is 3 days! Now, the only problem is waiting for book 6 to come out!

Summary: Book 5 is a 4 out of 5
Review: I think Harry Potter, Order of the Phoenix was very informative, but not as exciting as Book 3 or 4. It started kind of slowly, and some of the side storylines were not that interested. However, we learned a lot about Harry's past, and he grew up a lot. I also think Hermione and Neville grew up a lot.

Summary: The most anticipated book of all times¿was worth waiting for
Review: At the age of 31 I did not think I would be standing in line to buy a book at midnight. But I did and man, was it worth it. By now it is obvious for anyone who has read first four books, just how amazing they are. And of course all of us expected this book to continue the tradition. The Order of the Phoenix exceeded all expectations I had. IT IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. What a story, what a story telling. How proud must J.K. Rowling feel to have written such extraordinary books. From a very first chapter (which as usual begins at Number 4 Privet Drive and this time we are given an explanation why Harry has to be there every summer), everything is set into motion with an attack on Harry and keeps going without a pause. I was surprised at myself that I managed to make this book last for four days (unlike the fourth book which I read in one day). Several times I found myself holding my breath and waiving my hands as if I had the wand in my hand. But what was so surprising to me (a very pleasant surprise at that) was the amount of emotions incorporated in the latest chapter. I moved from feeling anger to sadness to happiness to laughter to shock all throughout the book. And as hard as it may be for me admit the following, I was heartbroken by the end of the book. I cannot give out any details of the book without spoiling it for you. Everyone will have to find out for themselves. What I can tell you though is that most of the important characters from previous books have returned joined with few new ones, some of which you will love and some you will hate. The tone for the book 6 has been set. I just hope it will be printed sooner then later. The entire buzz you've heard about this book breaking all the sales records of any other book are true and very well deserved. Everyone who's read these books knows why. It is an extraordinary book without the doubt.
BRAVO, BRAVO.

Summary: This Is The Saddest!!!
Review: This book is wonderful with tons of twists & turns & it brings out every emotion in you from happy to sad. You wil cry & you will laugh. This book is absolutely amazing. It's the best in the Harry Potter series & yet it is also the saddest (with the death of my VERY fav. character.)

Summary: Terrible Book!!!
Review: By the end of the book, you won't really care what happens to Mr. Harry Potter. He's not the same Harry as we know from the other books, instead, we have to read about a snappy little smart mouth who has no reguards for people's feelings. But the author says that that's ok because Harry is a teenager and teenagers ARE SUPPOSED to act like that. This book sends a terrible message to any youth who reads it, suggesting that it's ok to be a pompous little twit, because that's how teenagers like Harry Potter are supposed to act! Cry me a river Harry!!!

Summary: Never Wavering Harry Potter
Review: As usual Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling has not let us down. In her fifth book I found my self getting annoyed and grief stricken, as well as joyous and worried, along with the very real wizards in the book. The book is one you simply can not read without falling in love with it. However it is more than just a book, it's more like a life experience you will never forget! I recommend all in the series to people of all ages, Harry Potter and The Order have made me eager to re read the book several more times!!!!! (As I finished the book too quickly in 4 days)

Summary: REVIEW FOR HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX
Review: This latest edition in the Harry Potter series captivated my imagination. I believe that Rowling has out done herself with this fifth edition. The way she described Delores Umbridge made me want to strangle the woman. Rowling's ability to create a character's persona is what sets her apart from many other authors. After finishing this book; I am eager to read the sixth edition; which i hope will come out sooner. Thank you.

Summary: Wonderful, but with small flaws
Review: Wonderful - I have to get that out. JK Rowling's ability to put an engaging and real feeling life onto paper is absolutely wonderful, and this book is no exception. Throughout it, you are thrust into the story, which moves at a fast pace, and keeps you surprised as you struggle to understand what is happening to Harry, the Ministry of Magic, and Lord Voldemort himself. You wonder why Harry seems so angry all the time, and why the Ministry is working against Dumbledore, Harry, and the Order of the Phoenix. You get caught up, and you aren't dissapointed at the end either. It fits the book so well, I don't think anyone could have come up with a better one. (I cannot tell you the ending, of course) The only problems are the characters. They seem a little out of place this time. I find it hard to believe that Dumbledore would hex not only Fudge, but three Aurors. And I find it harder to belive that even the Ministry would allow Umbridge the power she had. However, these are minor nits and they fail to detract from the magic of the book. This book, in my opinion, is the best one she has ever written, and a must-get by any Harry Potter fan!
