finally...

it took me a while, too long, but i finally finished the 5th book of the Harry Potter series.

not that the first four books are all fun and games, but this book is by far the darkest of the series so far. Voldemort has returned, and is back with a vengence.

i'm not going to spoil anything, but this book is full of surprises. between the order of the phoenix, a ridiculous new professor, and the ministry of magic, it is one unfortunate event after another. this book is stressful, im not going to lie. i was frustrated the entire time i was reading it. unfortunately, the frustration doesn't leave at the end of the book. i've already started the 6th book because the end of the 5th was a cliffhanger.

oh yes, i've also been watching the movies as a read the books. i've finished the first four, and i'm sadly disappointed, as i was warned i would be. they're great movies, but don't follow the books. i would still, however, recommend them to anybody. very interesting...

...there's even some love interests in there.
