With the release date of Half Blood Prince announced, I decided to pick up Order of the Phoenix again...
... Only to be met by a brain that couldn't grasp the book. I have no interest, absolutely no want to read this book again. I don't exactly know what has put me off, but it definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.
This happening to anyone else? Is it just excitement for the 6th books or is there still a love for the 5 previous? Hm...
I found that it worked best for me when I re-read the entire series. I was going on momentum of the previous 4 books and I found myself picking up information in Book 5 that I hadn't realized before.
Anyone else?
Ive been met with the same problem, i just cant be bothered reading the 5th book again. Id happily pick up book 1,2,3,4 but i cant seem to want to read book 5. NOt because its so long i dont think, but because its a lot of babble for a few hundred pages, didnt anyone else find this?
I personally think that because the 5th book is much "darker" and unnerving than the other four, most people find it hard to read by itself, without a taste of one of the others, lighter books. That's how I feel.

My favorite book is the fifth book. I love it to death, but I do get a little choled up at the end. I like it best because Harry acts like a teenager. He is moody and snaps at little things. It happens a lot at his age, my age, and it made the fifth book more real in my eyes. We didn't have little Harry the Hero, but a young man desperate to save the person he loves most. I thought it was awesome, but thats just my opinion.
I absolutly love the 5th book. I can read it over and over again, which is rather pathedic but i dont care. Every time I read it I pick up a new little tid but that I missed the last time. I agree with hockeygod. Il est tres bein
