Book 29 of 2015- "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" by J.K. Rowling

I was able to power through this one, thanks to Cora finally getting at least one solid nap in a day! Thank goodness for schedules regulating!
I haven't decided if I like this book the least (it's between this one and the second). While there are a lot of parts that I really enjoy, such as Fred and George making Professor Umbridge's life miserable, or the final conversation Harry has with Dumbledore after they come back from the Department of Mysteries, it is still so filled with Harry's teenage angst that it sometimes gets hard to read. He spends much of the book either yelling at people for leaving him out of things (which makes him sound like kind of a martyr) or he is freaking out about how he likes a girl.
Plus, I hate that my favorite character, Sirius Black, dies in this book. It was totally unnecessary. And so irritating, because it's all Harry's fault.
I am excited to read the last 2 books, because I don't remember much of either of them and want to read them as soon as possible.
