5.0

much like Harry and Voldemort, Order of the Phoenix and Goblet of Fire are tied by fate and cannot exist without the other.

the grief and the anger present throughout every thought and conversation becomes so suffocating it’s as if i’m the one experiencing every new rise of emotion.

the criticism this particular part of the series receives is one i will not partake in because i too was once 15 and angry. were you?

“If his surroundings could have reflected the feelings inside him, the pictures would have been screaming in pain.”

*though if i could offer some criticism it would be this:

we did not get enough of Sirius and there was no benefit to his death coming so soon after his introduction.

“You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.”

I forgot how long this book was... and, not only was it long, it was Harry's angst arc. He went through so much in this book and you can't help but feel for him. That being said, the chapters were 20-30 pages long, which felt like a lot at times. So, this book will have to take third place. I hate Umbridge.

Parts of it are SO stupid but other parts are so great?? (i own an old copy, so jkr gets 0 cents out of me) I was honestly really fascinated by the way the story weaves together totally normal teenage problems (sports, bullying, dates, exams, school rules, adults' contempt) and Harry's life-and-death Voldemort-related problems. She avoids this trap of like, "Harry's not a normal teen, he's got BIGGER problems" and shows how ALL of the things the gang struggles with feed into each other. And eventually, the good adults' contempt for the teens is their downfall.
