For me, the first volume was the best one. It was the most fun. The characters were fresh, and so was the idea. Now in the fifth one I get lost in the gibberish. Who can even remember what a death eater really is? One can imagine. This one is really going to scare the little kids. Harry is not a real magician after all. He is only pretending. He does not know the rules, but plays a good game. These still are a good read, and I look forward to the next in the serries.
