Weighing in at 1 kg and having over a ¼ of a million words, the fifth Harry Potter book is going to present a formidable challenge to any young reader. If you are not daunted by the length, you'll find Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix a great read once you get through a slow and tedious start. Yet again, Harry and his trusted friends are forced to fight the Dark Lord when the odds are heavily weighed against them. The personalities are more or less the same as in the earlier books but those readers used to the quiet and rather shy Potter may be in for a shock, as our new hero is now brazen faced and tempestuous.
