Harry Potter Fanclub discussion

If you have any questions or anything to say about the fifth book, say it here.

When I first read this book, I really didn't like it. I found Harry to be aggravating, I didn't like the story and so on. I was fifteen at the time the book came out. I read it again as an adult (maybe 21) and absolutely loved it. In hindsight (and after earning my bachelor's degree in literature), I realized I didn't like the book the first time around because I saw myself and my teenage flaws in Harry. Nobody likes having their less desirable qualities (ie, moodiness) reflected back at them. Anyway, reading it as an adult and a better understanding/appreciation for the books, I have to say that Harry Potter And the Order of the Phoenix is, hands down, my favourite book. I re-read the series every year or two and have always just re-fallen in love with this one in particular.

Also my love to hate umbridge just gets better. I mean really, could you possibly find any other character more despicable than her? She makes Voldemort seem absolutely charming.

Oh Harry Potter 5, how I love you :)

yes umbridge was SO ANNOYING
