Summary: Not one of her best
Comment: After book three and four, this installment was a big dissapointment. It could have been easily edited by about 200 or 300 pages, and the expected plot twists and turns developing the mystery never really gels. The ending is anti-climactic. Furthermore, some of the characters become more and more flat and unlikeable; Harry turning into the angry, unreasonable teenager, and Cho the hysterical emotionaly-needy chick.
That said, I am a huge fan of Harry Potter, so I think any fan will find any part of the series engaging. Just don't expect too much this time.

Summary: This book is amazing!
Comment: I've already read the book three times. I finally decided to listen to it in audio and wow! I fell in love with it a LOT more! There have been some reviews saying that the books suck. Well then I totally recommend getting the audio book versions. Jim Dale acts out the book with wonderful voices. His voice is very soothing and his acting superb. You finally get a real feeling of who the characters are. I tend to be a skim-reader and I never get to soak myself into each word. The audio book brought out the double layer meanings and the emotions felt by Harry.
I can see where people feel that this book was repetitive. Yes, Harry is seriously confused in this book. But you have to realize, he's a young boy with no parents to explain to him what he feels. Also, he has a streak of pride which is only a part of the well-rounded character. It's really amazing how well Rowling writes about a boy going through so many things that most young child would never go through. His emotional state is so convincing, so real (even if it gets a little annoying or frustrating at times). Can you remember being a teen? I was totally confused and TOTALLY frustrating to my mother.
Though I never lived in the era where radio was the best form of entertainment, I can see why people were so captured by programs like these audio books. I've even seen an improvement in the vocabulary I use everyday. So I definitely recommend this book and definitely the audio book.
5 stars for the book and 6 stars for the audio book! Enjoy!

Summary: I liked this book
Comment: I think that this is the best book in the series because things that you don't expect to happen,happen. In the fourth book Harry encounters Voldomort again. This book is about how Harry and Dumbldore try to make the wizarding community belive that Voldomort is back.
I think that people of all ages wil enjoy this book a lot, because it has mystery, fantasy and a lot of other things.
