Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Book 5)

My husband does not like to read so we ventured into audio books as an alternative. This audio book (and all in the Harry Potter series) is THE BEST! We truly enjoy the Harry Potter audio books because the narrator Jim Dale is so fantastic. He does all the different character voices so well and really makes the story come to life. These books are good for the whole family- especially on a long car ride!

I am 31 years old and just started reading Harry Potter a few months ago. I never understood why people liked this story and why my friends read these books, they're for teens for goodness sakes. But I decided to try.... I read Sorcerer's Stone and thought it was ok, but someone told me to stick it out.... boy am I glad I did! I am officially addicted to this series. I LOVE Harry. I am about to start book 6, but hesitate to do so because I don't want the series to end! I want to take the last 2 books as slow as possible but I have a hard time putting them down they are so good. I liked Order of the Phoenix, it answered a lot of questions for me. I can't wait to get started on the last 2! If you are considering this series, do it, and stick it out too!

Another great book in the Harry Potter series. No matter the age, these books are an entertaining and engrossing read.

A good continuation of the series. The book is much better than the movie, filling in holes that the movie left. The book was also darker than the movie. In fact, it is the darkest so far. The movie ended on a 'hopeful' note, where the book left Harry still feeling down and alone. The fight seen in the ministry was also more realistic. Although good, the kids' skill were no were near as good as the death eaters. Also, in the book, people got hurt in that seen (something the movie left out). I will say that the author is getting more verbose in her books, but a the same time, she if filling in more of the story. Her books might have started off for kids, but at this point in the series, she is now writing for a more mature audience with political climate and power mad people (other than Voldimort). I still wish these books would be released on Ebook format (my one standing issue with the series)..
