:D I would pick book#5!!!BUT IT WAS SAD!!!!!!!!! :( :o

I would pick OotP also. It was darker than the other books but I like how it wasn't tied up in a neat ending like books 1-3 were. I love when books don't end with all conflicts neatly tied up. I know that none of the HP books have endings that are neatly tied up (what with Voldemort and all) but OotP is my favorite!

I like the third one the best because I love the characters, marauder's map, and secret passages.

I voted for PoA beacause I like it. I've only read OotP twice so far, and that's not enough for me to say it's my favorite.

I was just about to pick up Quidditch through the Ages, as it is the funniest one; Echoes from the peaceful time of the wizarding world without Voldemort.

Still I picked up OotP instead. My favourite before that was indeed PoA, but the quality of storytelling, clevereness of the qlue (Yes, some people say that OotP has not clue - but i'd say that book is just a part of a much bigger one!) and touch of reality of a teenager boy.

Yes; OotP Is a dark, sad story - but it's ought to be one. Voldie is back and everything is all except Hel1 loose. Harry really grows up - just like a real boy instead of Blyton's famous-everteen-five; whose world is constant and they never get any older.

One of my main points is: OotP is definitely not children's book anymore. Storytelling grows constantly with Harry - and the readers required ability to understand the things around is well above the average definiton for 'childrens books'. Looks like to me that JKR is writing books the way, the original readers grow up along the story. "Add one year for every book to understand it."

I'm not saying that Young readers should not take this book - but I definitely advice them to read carefully previous books first to understand and 'grow up along' with the story. (Why to read book 5 at all without reading the previous ones first?) I see the storyline quite educational for young ones, as it does not hide some of the sad, but inevitable sides of our lives; Death, fraud, injustice and distrust. To balance all of these the storyline brings us also friendship, loyality and love. Growing up is painful, ideed - also in wizarding world. I see the Potter-books as a quick-course to our present life in a well-formed and safe form to present to our children.

(Oh.. got a bit deeper than i meant to.. ;) )

Well,believe it or not,I read the 5th book 3 times!!!I'm on the 4th time now!!! :D :D :celebrate: :kitty: :kitty:

Its all about book 5!!!!! So dark,so Evil.I love it.

I liked book #3 because it introduced harry to sirius, someone who was his fathers best friends and is his godfather. It gave harrys character someone to look up to and the knowledge that he had someone to confide in, a father figure if you will.

i would have to say its a toss up between book 5 and 3 i :love: love :love: them both so much because in book 3 we earn to love :wub: siruis when we relaize who he is to harry and in book 5 we loose him and i did cry

i cried so much :(

lol :kitty:

For me it's a close call between OOTP and PoA. I picked POA, though, :) Second choice, OOTP.

my least favourite wuld have to be the 2nd one

I picked PoA because I love Sirius, he is the best! But I love them all!!!

Out of all the books, I think Goblet of Fire is the best.
It's just where Harry sees "a whole new world". With meeting new wizards from all over and it's the first death he faces and you see another side of things.

I picked PoA. I have a very love-hate relationship with book 5, so it's my second-favorite.

That's how I feel, Kate.

PoA is my favorite, I don't really know why. I like OotP a lot as well, but not as much as PoA. I think GoF is second for me, though.

I liked Order of the Phoenix the most. See, I'm one of those people who has a favorite book in the series, and then my favorite changes when the next book comes out.
OotP gives us a lot of information, but not as much as PoA.

Well I have been reading JK's site and comments and apparently a bunch of things are going to be answered in the sixth book and the rest will be in the seventh book so you will probably love those as well.

I feel like there is so much JK has to tell us, I don't know how little she can make the books.

Definately OotP. I think Harry appeared more human in that one... you know with the shouting and stuff...

That would absolutely be OotP. I think it was the best. I'm a background freek (love all background information there is to get) and a lot of things about the HP universe was revealed in the book, and I think much more will be revealed in HBP. Also I really liked the story, and how Harry and the other caracthers had grown. And I like that Harry actually failed a bit on something, up until now he's been nearly perfect.

I think all the books are excelent, but I voted for the 1st book because this is where the story first began and in order to understand the other books, you must read the book that began it all. Pretty deep huh ;)

I went for Prizoner Of Azkaban the only one was not lost at the end of it

That is so true, true. Also, it is the only book in which Voldemort does not appear in book in a way, shape, or form.

So far I love The Prisoner of Azkaban. :remus:
