The 5th book in the series is BY FAR the most exciting, dangerous, and best overall book in the series and in the WORLD. The book has a Fantastic plot, with everything somehow tying into everything else. How did J.K. Rowling come up with this stuff!?!? I read the whole book in 2 days it was so good! The new characters are AWESOME, except for Professer Umbridge maybe. She gives me the creeps! How could anyone make a student use a blood quill during detention? The only gripe I have is that things are so obvious, like Harry being saved at the end and Umbridge finding out about the DA, but Harry not getting in trouble. Overall, this is the best book I have ever read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!P.S. If you like the Harry Potter books, try reading the Series of Unfortunate Events.
