[QUOTE="Barendd Nobeard, post: 2417362, member: 960"] No. He barely gets mentioned in the second half of the book. Of course, JRK manages to work in a refernce to S.P.E.W. :rolls eyes: Thankfully, it's only one reference. Overall, I liked it. But I like "Prisoner of Azkaban" and "Order of the Phoenix" better. This one did seem a bit short. Also felt like JKR left out character development to add more plot. I felt like some scenes were just a plot summary. And how many times do we need to read a paragraph about how it feels to apparate? Once, is not enough, apparently. And there was much too much about love. What is this, The Fifth Element? And Harry pulls a Spiderman ("we can't date; it's too dangerous for you.")--like that'll stop Voldemort from attacking Ginny? She's still a close friend, and the sister of his best friend. And the daughter of two Phoenix members. She's marked already. Date her, Harry! The death was great. Glad JKR had the guts to do it. Loved the whole scene--what everyone did--the victim, the witness (or didn't do ;) ), the assassin, the assassin's backup.... For some reason, the fight at the end, I really liked. And I would like to see Joss Wheedon direct the fight. No opinion on Joss Wheedon directing the rest of the movie. But the fight just seemed like his style. Maybe that's because a lot of it's "off screen" and I think that technique worked well on Buffy. Maybe it's also neat because the fight (what we see of it, anyway), happens after the death. But, overall, I still like the fight at the end of "Order of the Phoenix" better. All in all, a fun read. But not one of the best books of the series at all. [/QUOTE]
