The book was too long to be really enjoyable but still a fun read. I find the differences and similarities between the books and the movies interesting.

With each Harry Potter book I read, I think, "No, wait, this is my favorite one!" The beginning and opening of the Order of the Phoenix is definitely on the top of my all-time favorite scenes from a book. Even before I saw the movie, the beginning of this book was so clearly visualized in my mind. I could see Harry hiding in the bushes and trying to overhear a piece of news, fighting the dementors, and carrying a shocked Dudley back home. But I had forgotten just how sad Harry is from the end of the fourth book on. It's a bittersweet thing--hard, but necessary.

Liked it more than the previous 4, but still can't bring myself to 4 stars yet. 3 1/2. I'm betting I'll get up to 4 by the end of the series.

I found this book to be an uphill battle to get into, I understand the need to continue building the story and focusing on the unspoken relationship between Harry and Voldemort, but there's only so much moody-ness that can be a theme before it becomes redundant.
I did find this book comparative to the movie, not saying there weren't differences, but overall did a good job of hitting closer to the primary themes and events which was refreshing compared to the prior movies.

I think the thing about Harry Potter is that despite this being the longest book, with arguably the most amount of unecessary detail, I adore that I can stay even an extra chapter longer in this universe. Order of the Phoenix is pivotal in changing the trajectory of the story. This is the book where the wizarding world finally admits what's truly at stake. And as the reader, you get to experience its detailed process of getting there. Another thing I love is how complex Harry's emotions are. I remember the first time reading Order of the Phoenix, I had gotten annoyed with Harry for getting angry so quickly, for having little patience and discipline. But that's realistic. He's only 15 here. And with everything that happens to him, the anger from not being believed or taken seriously, to having to be watched over constantly, with the heavy expectation to save everyone he loves... yeah, I think it's okay that he doesn't know how to handle how he feels. Even more so, Harry's grief and anger at losing Sirius is both heartbreaking and beautifully written by Rowling.
