Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling

3.0

This book me in such a long reading slump. Once again the movie was sooooo much better. In particular, the scene where they tried to arrest Dumbledore the flow was so bad. I didn’t like the battle at the ministries between the kids and the Death Eaters. I didn’t care for how Bellatrix was introduced. I didn’t care for how my baby Sirius was killed. I felt like the battle between Voldemort and Dumbledore was meh. I feel like with all the other books you learn all these nice little tid bits that make the movies make more sense. This didn’t add anything for me. Had I not watched the movies I think I would have stopped here because I really did not care for majority of the book. It was unnecessarily long, too. It would have been stronger with 150-200 less pages.
