Oh, this was GUD. i know people are saying that the book was too long but that's how it is with this series, u know and i , for one, liked the details of the events and the places.
I didn't like how Almost every woman (except Ginny. I love her cool personality) in the book has cried once. Cho( it felt good when harry mocked her on her crying) , the gryffindor quidditch captain, molly weasely, hermoine... that seem so unreal and given that so less boys actually cried (they prefer yelling)... Not all girls get emotional on each and every happy and sad moment, u know.
So, like the other ones, this book , Order of the phoenix, keep us hooked and guessing all along. The last chapters are the most eventful as always; face to face fight with voldemort, a character's death, loads of revealing from the wise, old dumbledore, a bittersweet ending...
I wished dumbledore wld have clearly told harry why it was necessary for him to take the occlumency lessons . He should've told harry that just as he could infiltrate the dark Lord's mind, he too cld play harry nasty. Sirius was my fav character. His death was depressing but what was more depressing was the fact that harry and he got so little time together.
The most hated character was either the minister or his assistant. also ,Fred and George's departure was so cool.
FinalIy , wld rate it - 4 stars
