Q: Which was your least favorite book?
A: The Order of the Phoenix
A: The Order of the Phoenix
**CONTAINS SPOILERS**
It's so hard to pick a least favorite.
Not only are they they all great, but every book has a chunk of "favorite" in it.

Like, in the first one we are introduced to this whole new wizarding world.
In the second we meet Tom Riddle for the first time, and learn a little bit about the history of Hogwarts.
In the third we are find out about James and his friends while they were in school, and what really happened the night Harry's parents died.

In the fourth we read about new magic, are reunited with Dobby and learn that there can be dysfunctional families even in the wizarding world.
In the sixth things start to get serious, we find out about Horcruxes, and Snape kills Dumbledore, leaving us with a nagging curiosity as to why.
In the seventh, EVERYTHING HAPPENS. Everyone (well not everyone but you get me) dies, everybody fights, and we learn where everyone's true loyalty lies.
The fifth one has great moments too.
Dumbledore's Army is established in book 5, one of my favorite parts of the whole story.
Luna Lovegood is first introduced in The Order of the Phoenix.
We learn about the original Order, something I am still obsessed with to this day.
But there's also a lot of sad things...
Harry almost gets expelled.
The entire Ministry of Magic is against both he and Dumbledore.
UMBRIDGE.
You find out more about Neville parents and what happened to them :(
And Sirius dies :(
Not to mention Cho being all weird and boo-hoo-y.
That and, I feel that The Order of the Phoenix was more of a transition from the younger years of Harry Potter (books 1-4) and plunged us into the "grown-up" serious stuff. As as the first book with "adult" problems it has the responsibility of setting the mood.
And don't get me wrong, book 5 was absolutely crucial and I really enjoyed reading it. I just feel that it was more explaining instead of doing, which is probably why it didn't grip me as tightly as the others.
It really blows me away that J.K. Rowling was able to create such an elaborate story without a hitch.
Everything connects perfectly, it's truly amazing.
See you tomorrow for Day 10!
