SPOILER ALERT!!!
If you have not read HP & HBP, do not read on.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Why Harry annoys me.
Harry is obsessed with Draco Malfoy.
Harry thinks that Draco is up to something. Ok, great. Tell an Order member, tell Dumbledore. Don't go following him around school. He's always talking about him, what he might be doing. When I first read the book, I was waiting for the moment when Harry professed his undying love for Draco. No, really. It's ridiculous. He was right in the end, Draco was doing something. Fixing the Vanishing Cabinet so he could get the Death Eaters into Hogwarts. But come on! Harry almost missed a Quidditch match to see where he was going.
Harry, I love you, I really do but this is out of hand. What Draco Malfoy is doing is not that important. I know you're the Hero type, gotta save the world, even if you don't realize it. But don't make your #1 fan, Dobby the House-Elf and your own House-Elf, Kreacher, tale Draco and give you reports! Seriously!
Ok, moving on.

Truth Be Told...
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
My honest opinion
Well, it's a wonderful book. It starts to delve into a deeper, darker place that the first four, especially the first two, did not have. The fifth book has the topic of mental (almost) possession where Harry has glimpses into Voldemort's mind. He is terrified, naterally, but also thrilled. He so wants to see what's behind that black door.
It also explores teenage hormones. A funny situation really, Harry's first kiss.
I think it's a well written book for any age though personally, I wouldn't let my eight year old read it. If they can get through it. My ten year old cousin was having trouble getting through the first one, Sorcerer's Stone.
The books, naterally, have a magical appeal to them. I love them for their great storytelling and the characters.
I think anyone should read them, starting of course, with Sorcerer's Stone. They are wonderful books. I know some people are like, 'Oh, Harry Potter. I'm not going toread them,' because they are thinking of them movies. The movies are wonderful in their own. I love them and love watching them but there is a lot missing from the movies that are in the books. Some of that stuff is the stuff I love about the books. Like Hermione's S.P.E.W., Dobby from all but Chamber of Secerts where he's introduced, and little things like that that don't really move the story forward.
I have only read OOTP twice, I think, truth be told. My friend have read it at least four or five times. But, I don't mind, it's all fresh for me, reading it again. And I still love it.
