My favorite to least favortie is as follows

1. The Goblet of Fire(4th book)
2. The Order of the Phoenix(5th book)
3. The Prisoner of Azkaban(3rd book)
4. The Philosopher's Stone(1st book)
5. The Chamber of Secrets(2nd book)

It's hard choosing between the order of the phoenix and the prisoner of azkaban. Azkaban brought out a lot more maturity in the series it seemed. Just wasn't long enought though.

Well, you dont disagree entirely. We both didnt like the second book.

Just because he is dead doesn't mean he is gone.

See now, I always think of him as the grandfatherly adopter.

Er...

I never said he would ever come back. I just said he was not gone.

Yeah... I'm not going to be surprised when I see that happen.

I got to read it a couple hours before all of you because I was in New Zealand!

Dragon-Fly · 07-07-2003, 08:53 PM

i really liked the third one best of all, more suspence and action. i really liked sirius black. anyway going back to the order of the phoenix, i heard someone dies in this book. who is it? i heard it's black. is it? if you don't want to spoil it, you can just send me a private message. whatever.

ZebraRampage · 07-07-2003, 09:08 PM

The person who dies is mentioned in this thread already. Just look a few posts up.

***spoilers***

I just finished the book.

I agree with Ginkasa and some other's regarding Harry's behavior. Pretty much through the whole book Harry is an arrogant jackass in my opinion. Like others have mentioned, if I were Ron or Hermione, I would have just bailed on Harry, I don't need to take that from some outcast who had no friends in the beginning. And I think Harry has forgotten this. While the rest of the students have been a part of the magical world their whole lives, Harry only learned of it when he was eleven, and now he walks around like he knows everything, and thinks so much more of himself. And he gets angry at too many people who should be the ones exploding at him. This was main thing that bothered me. Let's hope Rowling uses a spell to level his hormones in Year 6.

Sirius' death came as a surprise to me. Before this book was released we were already told that in Year 5 someone significant in Harry's life was going to die and I thought it was going to be Ron or Hermione for sure. I think it's okay though, somehow, I believe Harry will be able to contact Sirius or something.

Another disappointment was the leaving of George and Fred Weasly. These two were on my favorite character list and now that they've dropped out of Hogwarts, I don't see how Rowling will be able to include them much in the next two books, maybe something will happen, but I'm going to miss their presence in Hogwarts.

I guess that's it. Other than that, I really enjoyed reading it, and I already long for the next one.

Actually, that was their last year anyway. They just left early. Besides, I'm sure J.K. will get them part of the story. They could easily sneak back into Hogwarts to try to sell new products or whatever to the students.

Or something.
