Out of this world (literally!) Guys, this series is phenomenon. Once i start reading it , it's an effort to put it down. One of the best thing about this book is that it's always a laugh . I live for Ron's witty puns and sarcasm. But as the book approaches it's last you'll feel a bit sad , not bcz the book is finishing and leaving you but bcz one of the characters surely is. The variety os characters is so cool. The scope of H.P really is vast. I bet almost anyone can find a wizard or witch(or werewolf or vampire) they can relate or identify with. But i wld recommend this series most to teenagers - you'll like it (i know i do) One might think that everything is all and sparkly and easy in the magical world but it's not! Infact u need your heart n brain in that world too- just as much as u need in this world . The cha4ms and spell wld help u but then , they'll help the other side too. And you're gonna have to up ur game if u wanna outsmart other. In short, the magical world also rely on its intelligence to survive. BOOK VS MOVI3 everyone is talking about it bcz once you've gone thru the both, u really can't help but compare because they've altered many scenes in the movie( personally, i prefer the book scenes) . Also Harry's monologues in the book r really interesting and since they're ABSENT in the movie, it sorta gets difficult to keep up with all the events since u don't know Harry's motives behind what he does. Thirdly , i think it's more fun to use ur imagination while reading the book. For the best experience i suggest u read a few buks in the series and then watch the movies. 4 stars 4 me . Cos i had hoped that the trio wld remain just friends... that didn't happen (wld be against the current , i guess.) Overall, I LOVED IT TLDR: H.P franchise is a smart choice if you're looking for an inexpensive travel agency to take u 4 a tour to a fancy domain full of fun , friendship and risk XD

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
