Title: And so the story continues...
First of all I would like to say to those of you who think Harry Potter is a (boring, offensive, dull, rude etc. etc.) book, you need to pay more attention to the details and tone of the story. I understand that not everyone would find interest in a book that dared to stretch the imagination further than the limits of reality, but please give this one a chance. The 5th Harry Potter book is great, no doubt about that. Rowling is has a wondrous imagination, and shares her thoughts with the world. Harry comes back as being more like a sort of “rebelish” teenager who is torn apart by what he is forced to go through (and me being Harry's age myself, I can understand what that's like). He even makes a few cracks at Dudley, and is obviously becoming cockier. The book goes on, explaining everything in a beautiful artistic language that makes you read it quickly, and then want to go back and read it again this time more slowly. It’s amazing... up until the end. If I could change one thing about this book it would be the end. The long anticipated 'secret' of the Potter's is pretty... disappointing.
'The only disappointment I had was the big secret, hinted at in the press releases leading up to the sale of the book, wasn't really all that major and something that I pretty much figured out before I had even started reading the fifth book.
-Someone else who rated this book.
Then the 'extremely important character' is murdered. I wanted to slam the book down, jump out of bed and hide under the kitchen table. Not only did Rowling kill off my favorite character but she did it without making him (and his death) seem that important. It almost made the third and fourth books a complete waste of time. I am hoping Rowling will make these little 'issues' important in the next two books. Besides that the 5th book is, like the others, a thrill beyond all expectations of the 'average book'.
