Hogwarts, Year 6 ⇒

July 7th, 2003 by

I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. It took me a while to get to it because I had to wait for Christine to finish it.

I liked this book as it answered many questions, such as, why does Snape hate Harry? Why does Harry have to live with the Dursley's? Why did Voldemart try to kill him? A lot of the characters are also filled out and we learn more about the Weasley's, Neville, Hagrid, Hermione and several others. I have to say that I was dissapointed with who died, but hey, that's life. I still think the 4th book is my favourite, but I think JK Rowling had to use much of this book to set up the next one (or two). There is not a ton of action in this one, but it is still engrossing. The new Defence of the Dark Arts teacher is so hateable, it almost made me forget about RooK!! You just can't stand her!!

Now I have to anxiously wait for the 6th one! D'oh!
