When books, especially those in a series like Harry Potter, become more the means to an end than a sincere expression of and love for a story and its characters, the result is a stale offering that signals the beginning of the end. Such is the case with the latest installment in the Harry Potter saga from JK Rowling. First, Ms. Rowling seems not to have learned the old school adage that it’s not the quantity but the quality that matters. This book is unnecessarily long. It’s as though Rowling was told by her marketing strategists that somehow a heftier offering would equate to a heftier credibility. Next the book is dominated by repetitious and trite phrases. My personal favorite is “screwed up his eyes. . . ” Use it once, okay. Use is several times, over and over again, as Rowling does in Order of the Phoenix and it definitely gets in the way. Finally, Rowling really offers nothing new in this latest volume and we see her straining to keep the tale going. After all, if she is to get Harry out of Hogwarts successfully, she has two volumes to go. If these are as stilted as Order of the Phoenix it may be likely that her readers will have to give it up before they die of boredom.

Harry Potter talks about a nerdy boy with glasses and some freaking scar on his head that is shaped as a lighting bolt. Heck!! why can’t it be some other shape like an appleor a banana? Anyway, during the book, you encounter words like lumnos or somthing like that, which means to make the wand light up. Because of that, tons of kids are gonna buytoy wands and try to copy that. That is considered witch craft. They should ban Harry Potter from book stores. I don’t evenlike the story at all. Why does Harry Potter have to be some nerdy geeky kid. It should be some cool chick like Jlo or something like that. LoL! Just kiddn. Anyway, I advise you not to buy the book. Its dumb, it has a bad story and brooms. Why don’t they make mini coopers fly and use that for quiditch instead?DONT BUY THE BOOK!!!!!!

Rowling has no creative talent. This is by far the worst book in the Harry Potter serial. I liked the first one, and the second one was okay. But after that Ms. Rowling sort of drifted off, I don’t know what happened but I can only guess: No matter how many times she denies it is true: she’s being inspired and influenced by a buttload of fans. You don’t know it, but she reads what young 8-14 year old fans write on message boards and gets her ideas from there. This book is for those little kids who don’t mind reading books written by a talentless fool who just wants to jump on the bandwagon and write fantasy children novels.
