What readers think of Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix, plus links to write your own review.

im 16 years old from malaysia and i am a great big fan of harry potter and the latest book was just amazing.the book was really well written and i just hope that a miracle will happen <<edited for plot spoiler>> .furthermore hopefully the details about what snape did for dumbledore and for the order of phoenix during the 1970 in his own personal risk would be written.

It is a very cool and awsome book

J.K. Rowling has created a world. Having read her five books, I am so impressed that with each novel, she introduces new elements whilst answering old questions. Harry is growing up - and after all that he has been through, it is very realistic to read his anger and confusion. It is interesting that reviews note that "The Order of the Phoenix" is not as compelling as her first three novels. From an entertainment point of view, these opinions are correct, but from a psychological perspective, J.K. Rowling has taken Harry exactly where he needs to go. Some reviewers have berated Ms. Rowling's writing style (and have done so in very poorly written commentaries, I might add). However, J.R.R. Tolkein has been criticized in a similar fashion - and I have yet to see any reviewer create works equivalent to the masterpieces of the author criticized.

I believe that Ms. Rowling has addressed the dark places Harry is going, has adeptly captured his state of mind and has used the Order of the Phoenix as a "turning point" novel. The Harry who appears in the final two books has been presented in this fifth novel. The Order of the Phoenix can only be criticized when compared to the author's own previous creations. This is because the Harry Potter novels far exceed any other reputable literature in their genre - as such, the Order of the Phoenix is wonderful.

I thought that this book was awesome. It was really well written, and it gets you really excited abuot the last 2 books. You start asking things like, "What is going to happen to Hogwarts?", and "What else will Harry find out about his past." I also like how J. K. Rowling brought in Cho Chang and expanded her character. It's only natural that a 15 year old boy will start noticing girls. This book is excellent and keeps you on the edge of your seat through the whole book.

This book is the best book there is. All of Joannes books are exceptional, but this one beats them all. Harry learns more about his dad and friends and he finds out why Snape hated his dad and him so much. This is the most exceptional and J.K. Rowling needs to keep up her incredible work. I can not describe how wonderful this book is!!!!!

I love the Harry Potter series! I can't wait for the sixth and the seventh book to come out!! The stories are so realisic! It's as if J.K.Rowling had been to Hogwarts before.

Yet again Jo Rowling has done a brilliant job! I have read many books and love reading, but in the last few years I have found it hard to find the time. The Harry Potter series as brought me back to reading, in fact all of the Harry Potter books are very difficult to put down. Do yourself a favour and have a read.

After waiting for this to come out, I discovered the wait is well worth it. J.K. Rowling is an excellent writer and has done wonderfully with this book. I enjoyed this book all the way through, there was a part that I didn't enjoy, very well written!
