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 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.

...but because its a lot of babble for a few hundred pages, didnt anyone else find this?


The sixth book is rumored to be about the size of PoA. That's a lot less than OotP, so there'll probably not be much room for babble, me thinks.

“Never mind that, look!” the American exchange student exclaimed. “I found the Triwizard cup! It’s mine! All mine! I’ll finally get the fame and glory and honor I deserve!”
“Stupefy,” said Harry. The American exchange student dropped to the ground, stunned.
“Woah!” Cedric exclaimed in astonishment. “You can do magic?!”
“Come on, Cedric,” Harry sighed. “We’d better take this together. You know, so Draco Malfoy won’t think I’m selfish. I really want to get with him, you know.”
