The book is good and all but it leaves too many questins on the readers mind.For example when anonymous fell behind the veil, where did he end up?And how can Harry defeat a wizard stronger than Dumbledore himself?I am really anxious for the release of the 6th book.I've red that hagrid nor harry not even voldemort are the prince.My guess is it is Dumbledore.In the fourth book Moody saids the Durmstrang and Beauxbatons headmaster and headmistress would like to prove Dumbledore is ONLY HUMAN.The book is probably coming out next year around mid summer.

I loved the first three books. Four took too much time recapping for the new audiences she was attracting. The "new" portion of the story was okay but disappointing compared to the others. This last one I found to be terrible. The entire book was focused on just getting into school and a few days of it. The terrible treatment he endured just went on and on with no purpose. Finally, and I do mean finally, at the end of the book there finally was a plot! Way too long of a book to tell you nothing. I was disappointed enough in the last two I have no interest in the remaining two should she ever decide to put them out. I am very confused by the high ratings others are giving this book. I have to wonder if we read the same one?

Most of this book is of a 5 rating, but i had to give it a 4. The only reason i had to give it a 4 is because i felt some parts were drug on to long. For example the ending, yes i do believe that all the information given about the prophecy and what not are important but do think it could have been cut a little shorter. But don't get me wrong this book is excellent and i encorage everybody to read it.

Ok, I gave this book a '4' for several reasons. It was good, really. But I felt her writing style got a little on the sloppy side. It read like an 6th grade level book through out the entire thing. I can't really give this book a 5 because this was a 'transitional' book, meaning, this was the book mainliy comprised of charcter development, plot hints, etc etc so I knew from the start it would only be 'so' exciting. The quidditch games weren't exciting at all, in fact the longest game was what? 2... 3 pages?
The thing that 'really' got me where the characters! Harry acted like a little ninny the ENTIRE book, if he wasn't moping, he was whining, if he wasn't whining, he was totally oblivious as to what was going on. The Aunt was 'helpful' to Harry, the uncle was just odd, and the nephew went from annoyance to thug?!
I'm going to try to make this next point without spoiling anything. I'm sure everyone knows that 'someone' dies in the book. Well when the time comes for X to die, it lasts all of one paragraph and I'm like "... that's it?!" So far as I can tell, I'm the only one who feels like this, but still...
All in all it was a good book, but after a three year wait... I expected more.
