Actually, ootp is my least favourite book. i know it contains a lot of fun stuff but it wasn't fun reading it. But i like everything that happened in ootp; Umbridge, the order, snape's worst memory, harry being possessed, the battle at the ministry..they were all fun, but it was actually a bit tiring..my favourite is Goblet of Fire.

OOTP is my fave, it just has so much cool stuff in it.
But I don't really like Harry in it, just cause he's so angry all the time. -------------------- Rafiki's Post!

OotP was my absolute favorite!
I know a lot of people didn't like it because of how angry Harry was. But honestly, I expected something like that. I mean, every single year someone was trying to kill him--and this is BEFORE Voldy came back. Then, in his fourth year, some lunatic decides to make him run obstacles not just one time at the end of the year, but THREE times within the year while being watched by all of Hogwarts. And then, at the end, when he thought he would finally be done, he was rewarded by the worst thing possible--the resurrection of Voldemort and the death of a student. ...I'd go mad if I were him! No wonder he was angry all throughout OotP! Add in the antics of the dictator Umbridge, and Harry was ready to explode at any minute. Can you really blame him? ...er, anyway. I loved OotP just because SO many of our most favorite characters shone. Ron had his moments, Harry of course had his moments, Hermione rocked, Sirius rocked, even Rita was hilarious. Then, we FINALLY get to meet the rest of the school through Dumbledore's Army. Honestly, OotP was like our best spoiler for the Battle at Hogwarts. We got a hint of what the wizarding world is like. Oh, and we got a glimpse of the Marauder era, AND we got to meet a bunch of people from the first Voldy War. The book had EVERYTHING you could imagine! |

I hated OOTP as I was growing up/when it first came out. It wasn't until a few years ago, probably the year of HBP that I came around to it, and its now my FAVOURITE. I find that each time I read it, I like it more and more and more. Her humour in OOTP is at its sharpest, and ALL CAPS Harry doesn't bother me. It contains a little bit of everything and I can't imagine ever going back to disliking it.

it's close but between it and DH, I think OotP wins for me. it's a wonderful story in itself. the characters begin to step into maturity, Voldemort becomes a threat, the MoM is corrupt, Luna comes in, and Umbride makes a crazy rule about there being 8 inches between students of opposite genders. but I won't go on and on.
I won't... I won't... I won't... *makes a face trying to not go on about how she loves OotP too much* -------------------- Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange.
In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth . . . |

OOTP is my most favorite book. I'm surprise that a lot of people don't like it, like my best friend, she hates it. But for me, I LOVE IT! My number 1 book of all the series.
I love reading everything in it even though Umbridge part is very very frustrating and Sirius part is very very very very very very very sad...*sob* *sob* My top reasons are: - I love that Harry becomes a teenager with his mood swing at that time. It makes him real and hot... - I love that there are a lot of Sirius in it. I know more about him and his personality, which i find myself more in love with him than i already am. Plus, we got to see him sing! - I love the romance in there. They're teenagers. Come on! - The humor in there is incredibly funny! It's such a dark book, yet such a funny book too. - I love that the book is so thick that my hands get tire holding it. It is rich in details and i love that. I wish every HP book is as thick as OOTP! and many many more! I love everything about it. OOTP is my all time fav! -------------------- -Lupin sprang to his feet: his chair toppled over backwards, and he glared at them so fiercely that Harry saw, for the first time ever, the shadow of the wolf upon his human face.-
DH p.175 turns me on...Angry Lupin = sexy! Marauders (15+) |

I simply can't understand how anyone can find any HP book long ?!?! They seem too short to me.  Though PoA is my total favourite, OOTP and DH are a close second. I came to love Sirius and Remus even more in OoTP, and that's why I love it more.  The part where Harry sits looking over the lake thinking of Sirius makes me cry buckets everytime.
