This is a great book, I really enjoyed it - it's as good as books 1 and 2 and much better than 3 and 4.
-- Jim


I feel that this is by far the best of the lot. I couldn't put it down. We learned so much about things that had happened in the past and it really tied all the books together. After I read number five, I went back and reread the first four. So many things made sense after that. Ms. Rowling supplies her readers with all the necessary ingredients for a page turner . . . I laughed, I cried, I cheered, . . . she once again delivers a novel for readers young and old that will forever be considered a classic of modern literature. It will always be included in my library. I can't wait for my son to be old enough to read them! Three cheers for J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter!! I can hardly wait for number six!

I truly enjoyed this book. Professor Umbridge was such a strong character, and she truly made the book interesting and different, much like The Tri Wizard Tournament did in Book Four. All the characters were delved into with more detail, and this truly did justice. I just hope that we don't have to wait too long for the sixth book! : - D

I loved this book, besides the end. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think that Sirius is going anywhere. It seems the kind of thing that Rowling would do for excitment in a future book. Alot of my friends didn't like this book as well, because they said Harry was too angry all the time. I would have to agree with them, but I am actually kind-of glad for Harry. He usually keeps most of his thoughts to himself, but he just let it loose in this book. I hope he becomes happier in the next two books. The only other thing that I've been wondering is that why would J.K. have Harry open up the mirror at the end of the book? I think there may still be use for it!

Maybe not as exciting and thrilling as the 4th but equally amusing and impossible to put down. It is well developed and densely emotional, probably because of Harry growing up.
Whatever the plot of the next two, they are all must-reads!

Harry Potter
Harry Potter is a great story to read for those who can, and for me the most interesting of the series is probably the first book. J.K Rowling is an amazing writer and I wish the series went on forever. My least favorite book was sadly the Order of the Phoenix, because I thought it would be more interesting.

I think it was cool... But the 4th one was way better coz it's got more of my favourite character in it ...... DRACO ofcourse !!!! IN the 5th harry is loads more grown up and mature and he has to suffer the huge loss of a friend How does JK Rowling do it !!!! She is on e smart cookie hehehehehehe!!!
