Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling

All the Harry Potter books are better than the movies (in my opinion). This book specifically is so much better than the movie. I feel like in comparison to the book the movie fell way short. Also this is my favorite of the series.

Finished reading Harry Potter & The Order Of The Phoenix by JK Rowling after an 18 year hiatus between reading the 4th book and this. Wow. Just wow. I didn't have the stamina for such a big book when I was 14, but I'm glad I do now.

I'm not a particularly big Potter-fan, though my Mum read the first 4 books to me at bedtime when I was young and I loved them, and later I enjoyed the films, though I watched the last few only once and consequently am hopeless at Potter trivia and am rather a joke at work for this. I thought books aimed at 9-12 year olds couldn't possibly speak to a 32 year old, and I'm happy to admit I'm a twat, I always suspected I was anyway. What a great book. What great writing. I can see why people go potty for it (don't excuse the pun). An obvious and deserved 5 stars here. Clearly I'll finish the series now and I almost never do that.

I know it's not the point of the book, but I still find it so hilarious that the whole book could've been avoided if Fudge believed that Voldy was back
