Book review - "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" by J.K. Rowling (2003)

Number five in the series starts interestingly enough with Harry getting expelled, but then it's rescinded, and Harry joins a creepy secret society, the Order of the Phoenix and takes part in some exceedingly dull adventures. This book felt as though it went on forever, and was agonising to get through and I was becoming really annoyed at the series love for Imperial adventure (complete with forelock tugging servants and Bulldog Drummond style secret societies)... when, towards the end, all hell breaks loose and it becomes awesome.
