This book used to be my least favorite book of the series and after rereading it, I can't understand why... I loved it!
So many good things I had forgotten started here like the DA meetings. I still absolutely hate Umbridge and I'm out of my reading slump (hopefully!).

This has always been one of my favourites of the series. I just love the political side of how Umbridge got forced into the school, and now they all just have to deal with her.

I'm glad you love it and changed your mind about liking it the least.
It was my least fav movie, but that was just because I didn't like what they left out / changed compared to the book.
Order of the Phoenix was my favourite HP book next to Philosopher's Stone, as well :3
Hooray for (hopefully) being out of your reading slump!
You are not alone I have meet many who say they didn't like this book as much as the others. I think part of the reason this is the first book where they are treated as more then children as nearly full fledged wizards. They also realize they are pretty much alone as no one can help them there support network is slowly being taken away from them piece by piece.
The writing style is very careless.JK Rowling consistent use of adverbs, (8 -10) a page is something that Stephen King warned not to do, if one wants to be a serious writer.
Hagrid's tale didn't add anything to the story.
the objection is the book is almost 1000 page long otherwise it is a great book
I feel the same way! I just finished my third reread and I always said this was my second least favorite after chamber of secrets but I enjoyed it this time so much more I don’t even know What’s happening 😅🙈 I hated reading about Umbridge especially because she never really got what she deserved, but there was so much I had missed tiny hints and details that were so funny, I actually laughed out loud sometimes 😅
I'm glad you love it changed your mind about liking it the least. hahahah hihihihihi

I hate umbridge too. After re reading it several times I learnt to love the DA meetings so much
This was my least favorite, too! I'd actually never reread it cover to cover - just did in a reread of the whole series and I think it might be tied for my favorite book now! I wonder why....
This is what I’m hoping will happen to me too, I really don’t like this one and so far (~1/4 in) it’s still very frustrating. Hope it gets better, I did really like The Chamber of Secrets a lot better this time around.
