Ali, I agree I with you on Umbridge, I was so impressed with her ability to make me actually HATE a ficitional character so much. I mean, I actually got angry while reading it.

As for the extra detail, overall I agree with you. I just think that the hook in GoF comes a little too late in the book- the Quidditch World Cup lasts just a little too long. Before then, the only thing to make you interested is that it's Harry Potter. It's my favorite book, though, so I'm not complaining. :D

1. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - It had a lot of dramatic scenes that just kept your heart racing. If a book can make you do that, then the author is VERY good. Not to mention, Luna Lovegood became my all-time favorite HP character with this.

2. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - Although I thought Slughorn was a pathetic character to introduce, she definitely included a lot of character development that I've been waiting for. Voldemort, Voldemort's mother, Draco and Narcissa all in one. But, is it just me, or does Ron get more annoying/insensitive as the books go on? And I hate the newest couples (Bill/Fleur and Harry/Ginny).

3. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - There was something about this book that got to me like the following didn't. I think it was all the urgency and the terror that flooded the school as people were attacked.

4. Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban - I love how she expands on Scabbers 3 books after he's introduced (and is seemed unimportant). Always manages to catch me off-guard.

5. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - I thought it was okay, but I didn't like a lot of the new characters and I found it way too easy for Harry to get through the 3 tasks.

6. Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone - It is surely not a bad book. In fact, it's probably a great beginning. But a great beginning is often followed by an even greater sequel.
