Although this book is pretty good, I would say that it is definitely not J.K. Rowling's best. Harry is too teenagery, if you get what I'm saying. He's always mad and you get a different (not good) image about him then you do in the other books. Also, I don't think there should be any boy-girl stuff, it just makes it not seem as magical... I dunno I just didn't like that aspect of it! It is also hard to get into the story, it takes too long. Maybe J.K.R. should just get into the story right away and then the book might not be so long! :-) But if you are a Harry Potter fan, this is a must-read, since it reveals many things unknown!
