I finished the book this morning. It was excellent Any fan of this series of books will enjoy it.

Yeah, I finished it on Sunday. I thought it was okay. Not as good as the past four. I personally think that most of the book could have been taken out and you wouldn't have missed anything. It really didn't need to be any longer than 400-500 pages IMO.

Still good though. Shows that now that Voldemort's back this isn't exactly the same series you've been reading. Much darker than even Goblet of Fire which was pretty dark compared to the ones before it.

Although I didn't enjoy this as much as others, I still enjoyed reading it and wasn't able to stop (much) reading it until I finished it. I hope J.K. doesn't take as long releasing the next one (and the one after).

Ya, it's going to suck waiting another 3 years for the 6th book. I finished Order of the Phoenix 3 days after release. Pretty good book. Not as good as the 4th one. Bugs me that Harry didn't get any from Cho.

I have heard a lot of people complaining about the length of the book. I'm not even done with it yet, I still have 200 or so pages to go, but I would be happy to read an even longer book. Yes, the main plot could be compressed into 300-400 pages or so. But I really enjoy the side plots that spin off from the main plot.
