I've started following Harry Potter when the 1st book was published and nobody had waited for it excitedly. What an excellent series it has been! "Has been" is the point here. The 5th book is such a dissapointment! First, it should've been much shorter, there are just too many boring lengthy descriptions/discussions that lead nowhere and do nothing for characters. Second, boy, what an anti-climax ending! I mean, let's think a minute: A prophecy as a weapon???! And what new did we find out from that prophecy? Makes no sense at all. The only good thing about this book is "that Umbridge woman".
