Loved this book. Plot line was done well. Although I already knew someone would die. I was upset with who did die, because he was one of my favorite characters. *sniffs* Oh well
This question is for anyone who read the book, What was everyones favorite part?
The best part is the ending! When they are by the fountain (that doesn't give anything away really but people who have read it will know what i mean) The worst part is that Umbridge Woman.....I HATE HER
I must admit, I read the book when it first came out, but I knew already who would die... my best friend is a journo, and he'd read a pre-pub version... his initial comment.... "The order of the phoenix? 'I'll have a pint, ' said the phoenix...."
Order of the Phoenix, I think, is the first Harry Potter book to read as if it was written as part of a series... up until OOTP, the books had a beginning, middle and end, but OOTP reads like a long middle.... which may be why people were disappointed.... also, so much fuss was made about a character dying before its release that a lot of the suspense has gone... rather than wondering what would happen, people were wondering who would die....
i absolutley loved this book. alot of harry potter fans were disapointed with the book, but i don't understand why. i was just upset when [SPOILER - highlight to read]: sirius died. but i think that everyone was. i like how harry is finally growing up and becoming emotional.
well it took me just under a week to read the entire book which was quite a long time and i dont know...i mean i love everything about all the Harry Potter books but it just felt like all the answers came out if you get what i mean...if not lol its okay...i enjoyed it alot with all the twists and turns and couldnt put the book down like all the other HP Books ive read...but i think there was one thing that really annoyed me besides that awful woman UMBRIDGE......Harrys Temper!!...everytime he got outta control it just made me mad...but i guess thats part of the whole story line....but at the end of it all...as one of JK Rowlings and Harry Potters biggest fans id have to say...WELL DONE!!! i loved it
I really did love this book...i love all of them tho! But i'd say its only second to Prisoner of Azkaban. Its a long read, but one that i really enjoyed. It gave a lot more depth to the story, and many twistis...i was surprised at how much more i picked up on the second read through! The only thing that i didn't like was harry's tempter...and i too hate umbridge's guts!
They hate this book due to many reasons. [SPOILER - highlight to read]:
1) Harrys anger
2) Professor Umbridges irritating appearance
3) Sirius death
4) Lack of adventurous incidents as they were there in 3rd and 4th books
5) A lot of *dialogue+theory+discussion* type chapters
But i think it was were alright. The story needed some change like that. It was a different book in many ways from the others as [SPOILER - highlight to read]: the hero suffered a lot in it.
Plus this book consists all theories and useful information related to the HP plot. A HP fan must read it!
