This is not a light-hearted children's story. It is something darker, deeper, but all ages should feel comfortable reading it.

This volume is as exciting and interesting as all those before. However, the adventures are more glum and hopeless, and sent me into despair afterward because they so closely resemble our world.

While Harry is growing, so is the story. It has taken higher grounds than ever before. Before we saw Harry fighting basilisks, dragons, trolls, and all manner of monsters. In the Order of the Phoenix, the battles have become personal. Harry is fighting his own anger, his inner emotional battle with others.

all ages. Children of seven and eight should feel comfortable reading it, while younger children may not understand the whole of it but will enjoy the adventure.

the whole thing, because J.K. Rowling did such a perfect job!

the whole thing because now I can hardly wait for the next one!

read it over again! But, I had borrowed it from the library and it was due. That was the only time I was mad at my public library!

very adventurous, glum, but glad I had read it.

Is as talented as any and definatly a good bit more! I respect J.K.Rowling because of her writing and the things she has done.

It is a thrilling book that will sweep you up and carry you to the finale pages. J.K.Rowling has once again dazzled me with her extrodinary writing style!

Answer this: If your parents were unfairly murdered when you were a baby, yet you survived when you don't know why, and now the murderer is back and he has got it in for you, you don't know what he is doing, you were tortured and had to watch someone die last year, plus nobody believes you and publicly slanders you, no one understands, and also your 'girlfriend' brings last year up and then cries when you dont want to talk about it. Wouldn't you be angry?
