THIS BOOK WAS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!ALL THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS ARE GREAT THEY MAKE YOU WANT TO READ ON AND ON AND ON. IT IS SOOOOOO HARD TO PUT IT DOWN.

I want all you paranoid mothers that think this book is full of "Dark Magic" or whatever you call it, to know that you have ISSUES!! If you have nothing better to do than sit around and criticize a CHILDRENS BOOK, then you all need to GET A LIFE!! It is absolutely PATHETIC!! Personally, if you can find "Dark motives" in imaginary books, then I would start to think that either you are an idiot (actually I KNOW that) or maybe you practice "Dark Magic" (ha ha) yourself if you can pick it out so easily. Maybe now that you've picked over this series so much, you can move on to the Clifford books. In short, SHUT UP AN GET OVER IT!!

I believe that this novel is the best of all the current books because every book deals with Lord Voldemort and I think that this book brought a sort of relief from the usual plot where Lord Voldermort is out to kill Harry.

I loved it. It is a better than the Goblet of fire book. I enjoyed the ending. I hope you would like it and rate it a 5. So read it. Good Luck! I suggest if you read starting with the first book first.

I mostly liked the Chamber of Secrets though this one is good too.
