  Darker side of the Series begins
Review created: 09/26/05(updated 03/13/06)

18 of 20 people found this review helpful.

Goblet of Fire brought a surprise dark ending - this takes it a bit further.

This book goes through the whole gamut of emotions for Harry and his friends - Harry is shown to be vulnerable to emotions that he cannot control (not entirely his own fault but you will see) and this book portrays him quite a bit as trying to get things done on his own (a preview of things to come or things to change - who knows). This book goes into the emotional side of Harry and the roller coaster ride it can be for a teen and also reasons highlighted at the end of the book.

New characters are introduced and you get a clearer picture of alliances and where people stand in the war against Voldemort.

He also finds out how costly it is to not listen to Dumbledore as another person close to him is lost. He blames himself and Dumbledore reveals a lot more answers (and raises a few more questions) at the end of this book.

This book clearly answers questions and definitely sets up for the next book.
You will get exposed to more dark magic in this book - a nice addition to see the both sides of the coin.

The books in this series are getting longer but as you will justly so. This book is definitely more exciting and darker than the others but it is a very good read and my wife and I had to fight for who gets to read it - the next book is being bought with an extra copy for her :-)

  The book is long... and you feel its length
Review created: 10/12/05
by:
7 of 20 people found this review helpful.

As the 5th and largest installment of the Harry Potter series, Rowling does not do a great job with character development and plot advancement in this book. That said, it's a must read if you have read the previous 4 books and if you intend to read the rest of the books.

The book is long and very slow at times. There is not much character development, and the reader isn't given any sense of a strong, developing plot.

  Fourth the best of all the game
Review created: 04/16/08
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Of all the books in the Harry Potter series, the fourth installment is by far my favorite. Harry struggles and learns as he attends his fourth year at Hogwarts, This year however, the school hosts an infamous tournament. Two other wizarding schools travel to Hogwarts for the year to compete in the competition. I love how JK Rowling is able to incorporate reality into such a fictional book. All the problems and emotions that Harry experiences are easily related to. This book was suspenseful and packed with action. If you need a book that you can't put down, I highly recommend this one.

  The evil Delores Umbridge
Review created: 04/05/08
by:

This is by far my favorite book in the series. Chock full of info and lets you get inside the danger that is looming on the horizon for everyone involved with bringing down the Dark Lord. Much better than the movie (eventhough the movie was great in its own right) in the aspect that it has more info. The movie was great in my opinion but there was no way to get everything from the book in the movie so it makes a great companion in that aspect. See the movie then read the book it will definitely make the reading more enjoyable if you do it in that order. Delores Umbridge tries to come across as being nice and sweet with her great pinkness and cute kittens but you learn that she has an evil soul and an ugly heart.Molly Weasley emerged as my favorite character even more so after this book. She has always been in the front running for my fave character but this book shows her genuine love, concern, fear and sadly she has the "sight" that Trelawny has talked about. Pace yourself though, it is quite long and you CANNOT rush through this book which you will find yourself doing without realizing it. I had to stop and go back several times in order to find something I missed. Definitely worth a re-read after you complete it so you can find things you might have missed. You will definitely cheer the return of the Centaurs.

  Fantastic Buy! Great Quality at a Low Price
Review created: 03/08/08

I am from Ohio, having been buying 1 Harry Potter paperback book at a time and sending them to my son in Colorado. I wish I could afford the hard covers but money is tight.
Then I found this listing on ebay for a hardcover at such a fantasticly low price and even with the shipping cost it was still cheaper then buying a new paperback.
This seller also was kind enough to ship it to my son in Colorado for me. Saving me even more money.
My son loved the book and said it was like NEW. Now he is thinking he should start shopping on ebay for the same great buys.
:)

  Get your FREE PS3!!! I did it and it WORKS!!!
Review created: 02/29/08
by:

Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFKYVE__Mug

Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It
literally takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I
promise you, this is 100% real. I wouldn't jeopardize my eBay account
status if this was a scam. My feedback is real and I will answer you
on any question! Here is what you do. Click on the link below,
register, pick an account type (referral is the easiest) and complete
just 1 offer (Very important that you complete the 1 offer otherwise
your account will sit in limbo until you do).This is not like other
sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3 different
pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with nothing else
to buy...No commitments!!!

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not
use them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Posterpass.com and paid only $10 for 4 posters). Look at the offers and choose the one
that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer,
simply refer 8-13 people (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to
do the same under your link (just post the same thing as I have on
eBay, and you'll get your referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it on EBAY! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which
goes toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you
want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your
own personal link after your orders placed.



Step 1: Click this link:

refer up to 13 people to do the same (use eBay! Do what I did, copy my
ad).

Step 4: Receive your PS3 System for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping
Is Free!!!)

  Books vs. Movies
Review created: 02/22/08
by:
moygo ( 66)

As with any Harry Potter book, the books is much funnier, entertaining, and a wilder adventure then the movies.

So if you haven't already please take the time and read each book after you have seen the movie. That way you can still enjoy all the surprises and twist and turns that the movie has with out being perturbed over what was left out from J.K.'s
telling of the story.

Example: In this book we find out more about Serious Black and his family as well as other important things the movie left out. READ THIS BOOK. The movie once again left out important details.
