I decided a while ago that Order of the Phoenix was my favorite Harry Potter book.
 Not only is it the longest and chock full of the Golden Trio that we all love, but I think it introduces many new elements into the series, including romance and the imminent threat of the reborn Lord Voldy. I just wanted to know what y'all thought of OOtp as a whole, and to give us all a chance to take a look at it in the scheme of the whole series, just as a change for our usual digging for details.

Definitely not: I enjoyed HBP, DH, and GoF far more than OotP; I might even put PoA ahead of it. Not to say I didn't enjoy it, but it wasn't as good as the ones I just mentioned.

OotP was my favorite book for awhile, it has many of my favorite parts of the whole series (the DA, Harry's intervies with the Quibbler, Weasly is our King, Fred and George's grand exit, Ginnys "Well, that was a bit stupid of you," said Ginny angrily, "seeing as you don't know anyone but me who's been possessed by You-Know-Who, and I can tell you how it feels." line which made her my favorite character etc.), but now DH is by far my favorite. It is an absolutely amazing roller coaster ride.

Order of the Phoenix is usually rated third of forth favourite, although my favourites always swap around. However, I really love to hate Umbridge, there is some fantastic comedy. Who could forget the ever so touching "Christmas on the Closed Ward" chapter and the dramatic ending?

For ages it was my least favourite book. Sirius was so depressing and angry Harry just got to me. But after discussing it in detail last book club I was awakened to its good parts and I came to understand both Sirius and Harry's emotions. So now it would be number 4 equal lol. But having said that I have to admit all the books are so closely aligned that apart from DH which is my favourite it's hard to separate them into which I like more.

 Anyway, i read it in 4 days then i got 4 and for christmas that year I got 1,2,3. |

Hmmm... I wouldn't say It was my favorite. I like it a lot, and it did have a lot of humor. My favorites were COS, GOF, and DH. But... in all OOTP did have a lot of humor and a lot of emotion. I felt very mad and sad when reading that book. I'd have to say... it be my fourth favorite book.

OOTP was my absolute favorite book until DH came out and now that is my favorite! But OOTP is a really close second!!!!!
