Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling (2003)

Goblet of Fire brought a surprise dark ending - this takes it a bit further.

This book goes through the whole gamut of emotions for Harry and his friends - Harry is shown to be vulnerable to emotions that he cannot control (not entirely his own fault but you will see) and this book portrays him quite a bit as trying to get things done on his own (a preview of things to come or things to change - who knows). This book goes into the emotional side of Harry and the roller coaster ride it can be for a teen and also reasons highlighted at the end of the book.

New characters are introduced and you get a clearer picture of alliances and where people stand in the war against Voldemort.

He also finds out how costly it is to not listen to Dumbledore as another person close to him is lost. He blames himself and Dumbledore reveals a lot more answers (and raises a few more questions) at the end of this book.

This book clearly answers questions and definitely sets up for the next book.
You will get exposed to more dark magic in this book - a nice addition to see the both sides of the coin.

The books in this series are getting longer but as you will justly so. This book is definitely more exciting and darker than the others but it is a very good read and my wife and I had to fight for who gets to read it - the next book is being bought with an extra copy for her :-)

I had been looking for this book for my child for awhile on ebay. I got a great book for a great price for the quality of this book. My son was so pleased and finished reading it in 4 days.

I was very pleased with this product and the price. Book is in great condition and I received it in a very timely fashion.

I was promised to receive the book in a specific time frame and I did. It was in excellent condition. Thanks!

I purchased the book to have the hardback . Even so I am a senior citizen and have read all of the Harry Potter novels. I plan passing them on to my grandchildren along with all of my other Books . This individual I dealt with , was very fast and did not over charge for shipping . Tom Hill P.S. There is one thing I would like to see EBay do . I personal, like to pay with a personal check ! The reason for that is that I am old fashioned . It has nothing to do with convenience , it has to do with "as the younger people put it " being in the loop . Buying and selling is a social thing . It was one of humanity's first social interaction . So much for my babbling . The Point is, to set up a grading system for the likely hood of the check being good . This, I guess would be done or considered by the track record of the individual. T.H.

PRETTY EXCITING BOOK IF YOU LIKE THESE TYPES OF STORIES :) I am looking foward to have all the books and movies that come out :)

I recently became a Harry Potter fanatic & although I liked all the books,including Order Of The Phoenix, I would have to say this book is my least favorite. Just not enough happens. It just seems that a lot of the times certain things were drawn out for just to long. Just like in the movie nothing really happens til near the end & then it picks up but by that time it's almost over. If you are a fan of Harry Potter I'd recommend reading all the books,including Order.

I bought this book because it completed my series of the Harry Potter books. It's a wonderful series and hopefully one day I will pass them on to my grandchildren. The books keep you in suspense and wanting you to read more. Your never to old to read the Harry Potter series.

I have a personal passion for books in series but there is always that fear that the author will produce a great 1st book in a series but then fall apart for the remainder books. J. K. Rowling does not falter but enriches the imagination of the reader and makes the characters a continual interest with each passing book.

In the 5th installment of the Harry Potter series Harry Potter returns to Hogswart and faces the reality of what fear can do to anyone, especially adults. Yet as a young adult he steps in and faces adversity and hate with a truth set in him knowing the right and wrong of the world.

This book, though it carries a darker story line, offers beautiful moments of hope in oneself and how fear can be overcome when you are loved and love another.

I love all the Harry Potter books. Just a warning....you get hooked!

Had to have it for my collection. I have all the movies available and can't wait until the next one!

I absolutely love this book series. It is a great read for adults as well as kids.J.K. Rowlings is a fantastic author. All of her books are an excellent read.

I love everything about it. I've already read all the books and I just wanted to have it for my collection.

This seller, like the others, has been very kind and patience until I could send my payment. The book was in excellent shape when it arrived.

I got this book for my daughter and she loves the book that she is reading it for the second time. She wanted all the books and got an excellant book in good shape. She recommends all to read the Harry Potter books

My 3rd. grader loves Harry Potter! I needed this particular book to complete our collection of the series.

Of all the books in the Harry Potter series, the fourth installment is by far my favorite. Harry struggles and learns as he attends his fourth year at Hogwarts, This year however, the school hosts an infamous tournament. Two other wizarding schools travel to Hogwarts for the year to compete in the competition. I love how JK Rowling is able to incorporate reality into such a fictional book. All the problems and emotions that Harry experiences are easily related to. This book was suspenseful and packed with action. If you need a book that you can't put down, I highly recommend this one.

This is by far my favorite book in the series. Chock full of info and lets you get inside the danger that is looming on the horizon for everyone involved with bringing down the Dark Lord. Much better than the movie (eventhough the movie was great in its own right) in the aspect that it has more info. The movie was great in my opinion but there was no way to get everything from the book in the movie so it makes a great companion in that aspect. See the movie then read the book it will definitely make the reading more enjoyable if you do it in that order. Delores Umbridge tries to come across as being nice and sweet with her great pinkness and cute kittens but you learn that she has an evil soul and an ugly heart.Molly Weasley emerged as my favorite character even more so after this book. She has always been in the front running for my fave character but this book shows her genuine love, concern, fear and sadly she has the "sight" that Trelawny has talked about. Pace yourself though, it is quite long and you CANNOT rush through this book which you will find yourself doing without realizing it. I had to stop and go back several times in order to find something I missed. Definitely worth a re-read after you complete it so you can find things you might have missed. You will definitely cheer the return of the Centaurs.

The book was exactly as advertised, EXCELLENT condition, shipped timely and was the last pice of my Harry Potter collection. Fantastic ebay provider, all should be this good. Thank You Very Much!!!

i love to read and the harry potter books are a favorite of mine. i love the way j.k. keeps you involved from the first page.

I am from Ohio, having been buying 1 Harry Potter paperback book at a time and sending them to my son in Colorado. I wish I could afford the hard covers but money is tight.
Then I found this listing on ebay for a hardcover at such a fantasticly low price and even with the shipping cost it was still cheaper then buying a new paperback.
This seller also was kind enough to ship it to my son in Colorado for me. Saving me even more money.
My son loved the book and said it was like NEW. Now he is thinking he should start shopping on ebay for the same great buys.

Fast transaction, book was a little dog eared when I got it but it was overall a good transaction. I thought when I bought the book that it was in like new condition but it was not. I am rambling to get my 100 words for this review.

that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer,
simply refer 8-13 people (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to
do the same under your link (just post the same thing as I have on
eBay, and you'll get your referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all

As with any Harry Potter book, the books is much funnier, entertaining, and a wilder adventure then the movies.

So if you haven't already please take the time and read each book after you have seen the movie. That way you can still enjoy all the surprises and twist and turns that the movie has with out being perturbed over what was left out from J.K.'s
telling of the story.

Example: In this book we find out more about Serious Black and his family as well as other important things the movie left out. READ THIS BOOK. The movie once again left out important details.

the best book in the potter collecting... once i picked it up i couldnt sent it down... it keept me on the "edge of my seat"... i would recomend wether a potter fan or not, even if you never reed the others read this.

this takes another turn in the series and gives you a little insight into the department of mysteries, it also once and for all shows where harrys true path lies...
