Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling

Harry Potter: Harry has spent the entire summer at the Dursely's without a word from anyone and is sick of it. So he is more than happy when dementors show up. After fighting them off, he faces a trial at the Ministry of Magic by the prejudiced Fudge. And if that's not bad enough, there is a crazy teacher who is a Ministry plant and tries her best to expel Harry. But then it looks like Sirius is trapped by Voldemort...and Harry decides to rescue him!

The Order of the Phoenix is way too long. What does Grawp matter? Why spend an entire chapter on Hagrid's vicious brother? Luna is good though. Snargles and Crumpled Horned Snorkbacks and the Rotfang Conspiracy. It was great. And I was glad Harry found out about the prophecy.

CTK Christmas dinner tonight. I'm an entertainment-Dazzlers. I look like Shirley Temple in hair.
