I know most people count this among the least enjoyable of the Harry Potter series, but I am in the completely opposite camp. The Order of the Phoenix is the "Empire Strikes Back" of the saga - It has the best pacing, it answers many questions while raising even more important ones, and it's got a darkness that permeates throughout without ever losing the light of hope. This is story-telling at its best.
