    This is my favorite book of the series :) Some people complain that not much action happens in OOTP, but I like it for that reason. We get a complete look at student life at Hogwarts. We're taken on a journey with Harry, rather than having the "quest" introduced early on. It's the first time that we see the utter incompetence of authority figures, and there's nothing I love more than people trying to expose and bring down corruption!

  • This was where my interest in Harry Potter waned almost completely. It felt as though there was the opportunity for it to be so much better than it was. And I also hated that I could tell what was going to happen nearly 100 pages in advance.

  • Harry was a whiney bitch in this book. If Rowling would have kept out the emo bullshit then it would have been a lot better.

  • A great follow-up to Goblet Of Fire. I very highly recommend it.

  • Finally

  • It is nice to finally read a book with so much content that was good from beginning to end. She is editing herself much better now, or, at least, or her editor is editing her much more carefully now.

  • My Thoughts

  • I enjoyed this book as I would with any Harry Potter book, though I really didn't like to see Harry so depressed and angry.

Harry Potter is due to start his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Unusually for a schoolboy, however, Harry is not enjoying his summer holidays. He is feeling neglected by his friends, and, as ever, the Dursleys are making his life a misery. But Harry has had enough. He is beginning to think he must do something, anything, to change his situation. Then the summer holidays come to an unexpectedly dramatic end, and Harry is thrown back into life at Hogwarts School. What Harry is about to discover at Hogwarts will turn his world upside down...

This is a stunning tour de force, in which J.K. Rowling weaves together with consummate skill the magical ingredients of humour, suspense and drama which have become her trademark.
