The Great Harry Potter Re-read: Book Five - The Order of the Phoenix Rebekah Send a noteboard - 13/09/2010 09:14:51 PM
Hi Rafonauts

A little later than planned I know, but it's now time to begin our discussion of the fifth book in JK Rowling's stupendous YA series. There are 38 chapters in this book (one more than last time), so we'll keep to three chapters every two days, with two chapters for the last section.

I've set up the basic thread below, and will add more questions as the days progress. Feel free to ask your own under the appropriate headings. :)

And remember: we're not Announcing this, but if you set your Books Board to show "topics with new replies first" then this should always sit near the top of the threads. You can find this setting at the top left-hand side of the Books homepage.


Rules:


- Please keep your replies under the sub-threads below. You are welcome to start your own main headings as well.

- Although this is a re-read, it is possible that people haven’t yet read the books and are just reading this to help them decide whether they’re finally going to take the plunge and start the series. Accordingly, please keep spoilers out of subject lines.

- If you’ve got any suggestions for the rest of the re-read then post them in the suggestions thread below.


Have fun!


If this is the first you've seen of our re-read, then why not check out the other threads?

Book One: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Book Two: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Book Three: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Book Four: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
