Order of the Phoenix - re-read

I re-read this to prepare for Half-blood prince :-P Again, I was amazed at how not-perfect the characters were behaving. I was really irritated by the consistently poor decision-making on our hero's part, but then old Albus said we must never forget what it's like to be a kid. Meh, none of the other 16 yr olds were acting irrationally. In any case, it's always fun to hang around Hogwarts :-) I believe "Gred" and "Forge" are my favorite characters.
