Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix

Hey everyone! I had the quick opprotunity this morning to blog before going to breakfast, so I did =]
Anyway, right now, I'm reading Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix! (That book up there) It's a really good book, but the movies make the books look shameful. It makes me so mad! The books are much, much better than the movies, and I think that people should read them before they judge the book. Can't judge a book by its cover, can't just a book by its movie.

This book's just basically describing the 5th year at Hogwarts after Harry gets out of some trouble. He has to deal with all these new challenges, such as teachers, Quidditch, and the most evil and vile wizard of the century coming back to power! Sounds like fun!

For those of you who have seen the movies and not read the series, (I'll pick on the 4th movie worst, hehe) Do you remember Winky the house-elf? You remember the Weasley Twins recieving all of Harry's winnings for their joke shop? Do you remember Arthur Weasley and the boys coming to pick Harry up by floo powder, only to realize that the fireplace was blocked? Remember the ton-tongue toffee? Percy judging the Tri-wizard Tournament when Crouch couldn't? Sirius meeting them when they go to Hogsmeade? Or in the hospital wing? It's because they didn't put that into the movies! They left half the book out. I'm not saying that they didn't have money or time problems, but they could try and get closer to the books.

Alright, I've got to head off, so I'll see you all in class later! See ya! =]

I got that book the second it came out at midnight. and i stayed up till 5 in the morning and finnished it before most everyone got it. and Ive read it like 5 times. I used to be obsessed with Harry Potter, but not as much anymore. And yes it is a good book, I cant wait to get the 7th one thats gonna come out in sevral months. But once I finnish reading the 7th one im gonna be so mad and sad that the same time that there are no more books that are gonna come out. I think she should have made them go 13 years of school like we have too. :)

I'm just going to be depressed. I mean, there's no more Harry Potter! I'm going to start crying now... All Harry Potter fans out there are going to have to find something else as entertaining and time-absorbing! lol

Who do you think is going to die? JK Rowling said she was going to kill off two more characters. I honestly think it's either going to be one of the Weasley's (or Hermione) and Voldemort. There's way too many Weasley's; I don't care is Percy dies, but I'm worried about the twins! They're awesome! Harry won't die... He can't die... she said she wouldn't kill him, and I'm sticking to that. What do you think?
