This is the point at which I stopped admiring the framework of the story, and fell into … more

There's a lot of exciting stuff that happens in this book. However, there's also a lot of political stuff. The book is an interesting hodge-podge of exciting action/adventure/thriller story and a political treatise of the World of Magic.

The beginning pages of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix are filled with teenage angst. Harry is constantly sulking, heavily burdened by the last experiences of his previous year of schooling and furthermore confused by his friends' vague responses in the letters they write him.

the longest and most drawn out harry potter book known to man, almost, i repeat, almost as bad as eragon. but that didnt change how anyone felt about hp as a whole. i literally stayed up all night reading about harrys "possesion" by voldemort when they cover all that in five minutes in the movie.

I can't say i love this one, but it's a part, and DO and Umbridge keeps it going. I really loved all the arguments and bickering and schemes against Umbridge and also hated her- with a passion.

Worst book in the series; too long and drawn out.

My. Favorite. I love Sirius in this book and I long to hold meetings for the Order of the Phoenix. The best at creating real fellowship among the characters.
