Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
I just finished reading this book and it was eight hundred and fifty pages long! It was a very good book with a dramatic ending. Where I left off, Harry was trying to contact Sirius through the fire to see if he had gone to the Ministry of Magic, like he thought would happen from his dreams. When Kreacher, the house elf, said Sirius already left, Harry was really nervous and I was too. I couldn't believe that Sirius had already left, and maybe he was even dead in the Ministry. Harry and I were both alarmed. Harry recently had a dream about going to the Ministry of Magic and finding Voldemort so when Sirius had already gone he knew it was his duty to go and find him. Harry and his friends made it to the Ministry of Magic and had to find the rooom where Harry was suppose to find something in a saftey box, locked up. The room was very confusing because there were doors and elevators all around and no matter where you went it was almost impossible to find the same room again. The first room they looked in had a veil of people talking but they were invisible so only some people could here them. They tried a different room, but that only had brains in a big fish tank, so that was no help. At this point in the book I felt really bad for Harry because he thought Sirius was being tortured by Voldemort and he couldn't even find the room. I know that I get very frustrated when things don't go the way I want them to. It is really annoying to me, but I always think optimistically.

Next, Harry and his friends kept looking for the place where Sirius was suppose to be but they couldn't find it. Then one room came along that looked familiar to Harry and he told them Sirius had to be in there. From his dream he remembered a number and realized it was for a saftey box stored in the Ministry of magic. He ran all around the room until he could find his number, he had no idea what it meant, but thought that it was his only help to finiding Sirius. He finally found the box and opened it, and in their was a prophecy for Harry. Out of nowhere came death eaters and they were forcing Harry to hand them over the prophecy, for Lord Voldemorte. I knew that Harry would never give the death eaters the prophecy because he would be the kind of person to run away from them with it in his hands. I think the interesting thing was Harry didn't even know what was so important about this prophecy but knew he must keep it. The death eaters chased Harry all around the Ministry, through all of those doors, until Harry accidentally dropped the prophecy, but no body noticed. Then Dumbledore came to help Harry along with Sirius, who actually wasn't being tortured by Lord Voldemort, and other members of the Order. It was a magnificant battle and then Lord Voldemort came out from behind the shadows and finally revealed himself to everyone, he had power again. So, it ended in Sirius dieing and Harry going back to Hogwarts where he was very sad becuase the only person who mattered in his life, Sirius, and who he still knew as a family friend was dead, and Harry was so sad. During this part I felt very bad for Harry because loosing your only exsisting family member would be porbably the most devastating thing in the world! I couldn't belive that J.K. Rowling could do something to Harry like that. I thing the fifth book was very good, but super duper long!!
