“As always, the 5th in the Harry Potter series was great. Personal favorites, I say. Two complaints, though. First, no need to spend 200 pages before they even get to Hogwarts. Wrap that stuff up quicker. And (though this isn't uncommon with the HP books) when they wrap it all up in the end... when Dumbledore's explaining everything, turns out there's a whole bunch of info that you never knew before. I like it when there's at least a CHANCE you could put all the pieces together yourself. I'm not a fan of the "Oh yeah, and it all makes sense because we never told you..." endings. All in all, though, still a great book (though painstakingly long).”
