I really love this book as it introduces some great characters, such as many members of the order; we meet Tonks, Kingsley, and Mandungous. We also get to visit a wider section of thr wizarding world, in St Mungos and The Black House. Umbridge, as a villan, is both brilliant and frustrating. Every chapter you just want to read on. Now, I can't rate it higher because I can never completely focus through the scenes, near the end of the book, in the ministry; something about them looses my attention. But Dumbledore, bad ass!
