Summary: Another wonderful write by JKR!
Review: This book exceeded my expectations. I was very detailed and it revealed many of the answers to the questions the readers had. There is an excellent summary of the book above, and there is basically nothing else I can really tell you about, without spoiling anything ;). All I can say it when you start to come to the end, read every single word carefully, the end was slightly confusing, but once I reread it understood basically all of it. Yes someone does die... and yes, they are a major character... :(. But one quick notice, make sure you read the other four books first, if you don't you will definitely be really lost. Enjoy the book!

Summary: Rowling Develops Harry with Realistic Depth
Review: After reading the latest book in a marathon of gripped interest I am very pleased to see the depth to which she has developed each of the main characters and the creativity of the new ones. Harry's mood is quiet real as a moody and often angery teenager his friends, Ron and Hermione struggle to be there for him as they bring out strengths in him he would not have found on his own.

Reality mixed with the wonderful wizarding world makes this book one of the best so far. The humour relieves you while the hardship brought tears to my eyes. Characters came to life as they reminded me of people in my life. Learning more about Prof. Snape made me sympathetic to him, as he reminded me of a kid I once knew in school.

All in all I highly recomend this to all readers.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It was good
Review: What can I say? I'm not a Potter fanitic! I read all the books, but they're just not ...there. It's predictable, Harry wins evil looses. I loved George and Fred, they're so funny, and cute in the movies too. I think this is the best of Harry Potter yet! It's funny, but seious. It's not all happy go lucky, but enough happy. It's great how nothing is over-done. I finished it in one day, yup, 800 something pages.

In conclusion, this book is sillier as in funnier than the rest, you would want to read it!

Good Luck

Summary: Order of the Phoenix Exceeds All Expectations
Review: The fifth installment of the Harry Potter saga proves to be the best yet. Although it is fairly lengthy, J.K. Rowling captures the reader's attention from the first page and keeps the momentum until the conclusion. Harry is tested in more ways than just O.W.L.S. in his fifth year at Hogwarts. He again faces Lord Voldemort and another wizard (someone very close to Harry's heart) does not make it out alive. In the conclusion, Dumbledore gives Harry a greater understanding of just how difficult his life will be. Rowling leaves the reader anxiously awaiting book number six.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Rowling does it again
Review: This book was soo cool. harry was mad a lot in this book though. dumbledore finally explains why voldemort went after him when he was a baby. i didn't like the part where theykilled off my favorite character though

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best One Yet
Review: I finished the book last night and I loved it! My opinion is OOtP is the best one of the 5. In many ways the previous books were teasers. After finishing each of the 1-4 I was left itching to learn more of the background about Harry's parents and what it was like before Brother Riddle was vanquished. Book 5 pulls it all together for the fans of the series. When you finish this book... you feel like you can't wait for #6.

Thanks JK... for another masterpiece

Summary: "The readers love a rebel!"-Rita Skeeter
Review: What could one possibly say about this book besides that it kicks butt! Filled with an equal amount of comedy as tragedy, it is definitely one of those books you'll read over and over and over again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Keeps getting Better!!
Review: This book is such a good book.Harry is angrier. It's mysterious and will give you chills. It just keeps getting better and better. And the covers get better also!! The pages just gets longer and longer each book. J.K. Rowling should make more books in the future when Harry Potter is done. 5 STARS!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: deepest and most interesting of the series
Review: Rowling brings more intrigue and character depth into this book than in any of the previous four. The petty torments of earlier books, like Snape being mean and Draco being a bully, have largely been replaced by deeper evils and more serious concerns. Harry is now 15, and acts it -- at times he is impertintent, he spends most of the book angry at adults (including Dumbledore), and he is also willing to shoulder much more responsibility. He also makes more mistakes, and these mistakes have more serious consequences.

I can't write this review in good conscience without commenting on Amazon's suggested age range, currently showing as 9-12. That may have been reasonable for earlier books, but Rowling is clearly writing to keep up with her aging audience, and with Harry as an early adolescent I would suggest 14-16 as a more reasonable range, or 14 and up to be honest. For example, at one point Harry is forced by an evil teacher to write with a magic pen that writes in his blood and cuts the words he is writing into his hand -- effectively self-torture, and many 9-year-olds would be disturbed my such a scene. Rowling also does not use a simplified vocabulary or sentence structure. Open to a random page to see what I mean.

The storytelling remains powerful, and readers will find it easy to make it through every last page of this book -- and will immediately begin to wish for book 6. This is certainly Rowling's greatest achivement to date.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow!
Review: The fifth book in the Harry Potter Series, The Order of the Phoenix, is in my humble opinion, better than ALL of the preceding years. I can actually relate to this book better than the first four, because, like Harry, I am fifteen (15), and I often have short bursts of temper. It's great to know that someone (J.K. Rowling) understands what I and probably many other fifteen-year-olds go through as we live through our daily trials and stresses, whether it's peer pressure or bullies.
