Harry Potter: Book 5: The Order of the Phoenix

            Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, by J.K. Rowling, is, in my opinion, the worst Harry Potter book.  It was very repetitive and not very engaging.  Plus, my second favorite character dies at the end.  And it's not Fred or George, because they are one character.  The movie, however, was the best movie.  It's weird how that happens.

            As you can tell, I didn't like this book very much.  Even though it has the funniest jokes in it, but that doesn't make up for the lack of anything interesting going on.  The entire book is just Harry is stupid, Harry gets in trouble, Harry is stupid, Harry gets in trouble.  And that goes on and on for entire book.  He even does it in the last chapter!  Why is he so stupid!  Also Fred and George do something with what Harry gave them at the end of the last book.  And they are awesome.

            Like in every book, they get a new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher, and this one was appointed by the ministry to keep Harry and Dumbledore quiet about Voldemort.  Harry sneaks into her office so much, that she reinforced her door, a lot.  Harry also uses the Room of Requirement to host illegal activities called "a group of more than three people studying and practicing Defense against the Dark Arts spells," or Dumbledore's Army for short.  If you think that this is so well thought out that they never get caught, you are wrong.  One of the members tells the new teacher.  Thanks, thanks a lot.  Malfoy also catches Harry single handedly by tripping him with his foot, no magic, just a foot.
