I'm a 4-3--5,1--2, then.

That's a little misleading, though - I probably *enjoyed* SS a lot 
more than I did OotP, even though I appreciate them equally as books. 
I didn't dislike CoS, either - I just felt it's the weakest in the 
series so far.  In hindsight, a lot of that is because it was setting 
up things to bear fruit in books 3 and 4, which are my favorites - if 
JKR's comments about book 5 being so very long because it was setting 
up for books 6 and 7, we may be in for a pair of thrilling reads 
indeed.
