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

3.0

Wow! That plot twist! I never saw that coming, I don't think that you will see it coming either! I am excited to see how the rest of the series will play out with the plot twist that happened. (This is not a spoiler review I will not mention anything that happened inside of the plot twist, so if you have not read this book you can read this review without getting any spoilers).

This is the fifth book in the Harry Potter series. It was pretty good! I give it 3 and a half stars. There are a few reasons for this. It felt like a longer time to get going from the third, and fourth books. The other reason is that it felt boring in a few areas (about two, or three areas. But they were shorter areas).

I had high hopes for this book. But this is some people's least favorite book in the series. But it is not my least favorite. Probably bottom three. But even the ones at the bottom of the list for the HP series, that does NOT mean that they are bad. That just means that they aren't my favorites. The HP series has no "bad" books. Is the book good? Short answer: yes!

Should you read this book? Yes!
Should you read this series? Duh! 100,000% of every book in this entire series has been worth it, even the first and second books. They are just the training wheels for the entire series, but they are worth reading. The first and second books are fun and enjoyable (but a bit childish, and not feeling like YA).
