(22 December 2008)This is a truly amazing book ive read it twice now which is one more time than ive read the other four books behind it. i just really enjoy the fact that JK Rowling has kind of included us in Harry's school life, with the exams and all of the subjects etc. You just feel like your actually doing the OWLs with Harry and you feel so emerged in Hogwarts like you are in the pages. This is the best book of the series so far although i havent read the last two books yet but i do intend to. I just feel so emerged in the story and i really love how theres a lot of detail on Harry's school life Loved this! (25 November 2008)I really enjoyed the 5th Harry Potter book and mainly for the creation of Professor Umbridge! J.K. Rowling has created such a good villain with this character, I really could not stand the woman by the end of the book and the reader could really identify with the characters frustration with this vile and unfair woman. This book really sees the main charcacters growing up and is darker than the previous ones, I thought it was brilliant. Still gripping, but some character flaws (23 November 2008)Firstly, the bad: WHY DOES HARRY HAVE TO SHOUT IN CAPITAL LETTERS ALL THE TIME? This becomes very, very annoying very early on and I find myself groaning everytime I turn a page to see more paragraphs in capitals. This is something I found annoying with the Shrieking Shack scenes in book 3. Less is more; we don't need everything in BLOCK CAPITALS to get across the fact someone is shouting. Secondly, Harry really gets on my nerves sometimes! He is almost unlikeable; despite Ron and Hermione explaining they couldn't write to him, he still is angry with them. As well as Harry being a moody sod, why is it all the women are on the verge of tears all the time? I admire JKR hugely, but her handling of female characters is sometimes very irritating. Hermione is either irritable, snapping at someone or on the verge of tears, Mrs Weasly is equally neurotic and, where before she was fiery and lovable, here she becomes a moody sod to rival Harry. Parvati and Lavender are in tears over Trelawny, not to mention Cho also being irritable and in tears all the time! Ugh, gimme a break! Why is there not a single female character with a good sense of humour? The only female who isn't constantly irritable or tearful is Luna! The film does it better than the book but still, Phoenix is a gripping read. It's just a shame some of the characters are less than sympathetic. The Weakest Book In The Series (16 October 2008)The Order of the Phoenix is the weakest in the Harry Potter books but I still gave it 4 stars, this just shows how good the books are. JK Rowling is an amazing author. ONE VERY BIG YAWN (14 August 2008)What's all the fuss about? Watch the films instead: that's enough. Only just OK for a quick skim through if there's nothing better on the shelf or in your bag: so much of this book is unnecessary and should've been consigned to any decent editor's bin. But, one of the most profitable franchises in history, so what do I know? However, look at any chart - what does everyone else know? |
