Even 'till now, this book still remains the longest book i've ever read in my life :)
I am a painfully slow reader and normally, i take years (literally) to read a book that's more than 400 pages long but this book (almost 800 pages long) was so amazing i was beyond caring, and although it took me 3 months (yes, 3 months) the first time through, i finished the book and survived to read it a second time.
Harry is in grave danger now that Lord Voldemort has returned. Dementors are loose on the streets. The Muggle community are experiencing dark magic without even realising it. Random deaths that wizards and witches know aren't random are happening all over the country.
Harry's summer could not have ended in a worse way - he'd landed himself in in trouble with the Ministry by using under-age magic to fight off two stray dementors.
But Albus Dumbledore was there, as always, to pull Harry out of trouble.
As he returns to Hogwarts, security is tightened like never before. He works through his OWL year having constant dreams about a black door at the end of a long and empty corridor, but he can never seem to reach it.
But life at Hogwarts has never been so strange and unfamiliar all by the doings of Dolores Umbridge. In a desperate attempt to restrain, Harry, Hermione and Ron start a small organisation called Dumbledore's Army (or DA in short) for any students who feel the same way. They develop secret ways of communication and as the year goes on, begin to frustrate Umbridge more and more as her attempts to put a stop to the DA are always foiled by the group's cunning methods.
Apart from the DA, however, everything at Hogwarts seems uncharacteristically bleak and hopeless and just when things can't get any worse, Harry dreams about his Godfather, Sirius Black. But something is wrong, he is being tortured by Voldemort. Harry now finds himself in a desperate situation - he needs to find a quick and foolproof way of conquering Umbridge once and for all and escape to the Ministry to save Sirius. With the help of Hermione, Ron, Ginny and DA's most excelled members Luna and Neville, they escape.
It is a different story, however, at the MInistry of Magic. One thing leads to another and Harry soon finds himself watching his own Godfather being killed by his own cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange...
The Harry Potter series are like nothing i've read before (and while i haven't read all that many books, I am pretty sure that my opinion would stay unchanged regardless). If you haven't yet picked up the book, i highly recommend that you do so, and very soon. You sure are missing out on life :)
I give this book a rating of 9.999999999999 out of a possible 10. :)
