The Goal: To read all seven Harry Potter books straight through without a break (okay, maybe a break here and there)
For the reasoning behind this crazy goal, check out my original post.

Day Three Start Time: 7:00 a.m.
Fifth book completed at: 5:27 p.m.
Time it took to read it: 10 hours and 16 minutes
Total time spent reading: 28 hours and 58 minutes
Total number of pages read: 2,689
Thoughts about Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: After Prisoner of Azkaban, this is my favorite Harry Potter book. And after rereading it a number of times, I think I've finally figured out why I like it so much. It's Umbridge. Well, not Umbridge herself, because she's despicable. But all the ways that the teachers and students disobey her and mess with her. It's incredibly satisfying to see her get more and more frazzled as the book continues. I also LOVE the idea of Dumbledore's Army. I would have joined that group in a heartbeat!
Favorite character in this book: Dumbledore. I love Dumbledore in all of the books, but I think I like him best in this one. He is still a powerful, unimpeachable wizard and leader. But we start to see him more as a person, especially at the end in his conversation with Harry.

It's 12:30 a.m., and I can't keep my eyes open anymore. I'm on page 402 of the Half-Blood Prince, so I should be able to finish that one tomorrow morning. Then onto the Deathly Hallows!
