Rating:  Summary: OK Review: I finished this book last night with mixed feelings. I like the plot and the last few chapters are really engaging. However, Harry's immaturity (perhaps intended) in this book gets on my nerves at times. Some little details are also behind (OWL results for instance). Nevertheless, a good read, a worthy sequel of Harry Potter.
Rating:  Summary: Greatest Book I Have Ever Read Review: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a really great book! It has a great ending, and I like all the action. The little dose of sadness fits in well, and it connects with the other books really well. It's very dramatic, I love dramatic.I give this book a great five stars because it is the best book I have ever read. To the author:Write another really good book like this one!
Rating:  Summary: another rich yet slightly darker tale from jk.rowling Review: What a great read. i have stayed up to the wee hours of the morning reading this one. our adventure begins on a nice day when harry is laying in the sun under the window of his uncle and aunts house. the story turns for the worst later that day with him and dursley being atacked by well read and find out. The story slowy escalades to "you know who being" rumored to have returned. and harry and ron and hermion later on in the book going off to the save the day, with the weird twist of someone really close to harry dieing at the end, tryin to save harry. Over all in this book, harrys character has changed alot to a darker angryier verson of his characters personality than in the last books of the potter seris. then again this story has some laugh out loud moments that we all enjoyed from the others and still tickels the mind by going deeper in to harrys personality, as well as other characters in the story. OVER ALL ID Grade THIS BOOK AN O FOR OUTSTANDING
Rating:  Summary: Immensely Satisfying Review: If you have read the previous books, prepare to savor this volume. Though it is longer than book four (Goblet of Fire), it seems that less happens in it. Instead, there is more time given to developing the characters, and even more details about the magical world. As a result, this is a book in which to immerse yourself. Carve out a couple of days free from all commitments, curl up with this book, and read it through. You'll emerge satisfied, having met new characters, seen growth in old ones, and discovered answers to some of those questions you have pondered since Sorcerer's Stone.
Rating:  Summary: What can I say? Review: You're going to buy this book no matter what I say. Nonetheless, perhaps I can allay your fears: this is an awesome book in an awesome series. I think it might be my new favorite. I have to warn you, it's not always a fun book to read. As many have said, it is the darkest book in the series: gone are the innocent, carefree days of Harry's childhood. Harry enters adulthood here and finds more tragedy and bedlam than adventure. There are beautiful moments in this book: laughter and heroism. But they serve only to punctuate the struggle, torment, and pain associated with coming of age and growing up.
Rating:  Summary: Wow! J.K Rowling has done it again. Review: I have read all of the Harry Potter collection and I must say that J.K. Rowling always seems to bring her writting to a new level with each book. This book looks at Harry in a different view and shows him as a maturing male who is going through things others will never face in a lifetime. Its truely great and will keep you hooked through its entirity. I strongly recomend this book to others and the previous four.
Rating:  Summary: Loved it, Met all my expectations! Review: J.K. Rowling does not let us down in her fifth book in the Harry Potter series. Harry is now in his fifth year at Hogwarts, 15 years old and with a typical teenage attitude. With book 4 ending in Lord Voldemorts return, I expected to see the Wizardry community in turmoil. Instead it is Hogwarts that is turned upside down. Fred and George Weasley use this as their opportunity to test their creations for the joke shop they want to open and to cause a bit mayhem in the process. Many questions are answered in this book such as why Lord Voldemort tried to kill Harry as a baby. Yet there are many more questions unanswered leaving one greatly looking forward to Harry's next year at Hogwarts.
Rating:  Summary: A very pleasing book Review: I just finished reading the book not an hour ago, and all I have to say is "Wow". Having moved a little beyond being a kid's book, the latest in the series strings you along a plot that is very twisting, most of it not making sense until the very end, which places you right along with Harry: Frustrated, confused, and snappish at those around you. You can almost understand why he is constantly losing his temper not just with Snape and the Slytherins, but also at his best friends, and the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. And, lurking in the background, the Dark Lord is planning something... An excellent read, you'll find it hard to put down, as I did...finished it in 5 days, the last day being the one in which I killed the last 400 pages.
Rating:  Summary: Never Failing Expectations!!! Review: I just finished reading the fifth installment to the Harry Potter series and I'm impressed. Each Harry Potter book seems to get better and The Order of the Phoenix definitely was an excellent sequel to The Goblet of Fire. The sequel was much funnier though, but more mature at the same time. Harry Potter fans must read this one; it won't let anyone down. It's extremely nice revisiting Hogwarts and the Harry Potter crew everytime. Get your hands on this book if you haven't and people who haven't read Harry Potter yet, pick up the first in this great series and start reading!!!
Rating:  Summary: Harry is growing up Review: Order of the Phoenix was worth the long wait. Harry is becoming more and more like a real boy, as a high school teacher I can attest the the fact that in book five, Harry acts like a fifteen year old. The new characters are delightful, but could be hard to keep track of. The old favorites are all here as well. While I was not happy about the person that dies in the book, it was nice to see some of the other characters becoming more powerful, like Neville for example. I can't wait to find out how Harry scored on his owls and what will happen with the Weasleys, especially Percy in book six. Rowling's charm is back and I will be content with rereading 1-5 as the agonized wait for book 6 begins.
