Yeah. Sirius's death sort of bothers me too. He just sort of 
tripped and fell and landed wrong. I've only read OotP once and I 
hate to sound like a heretic, but I didnt think it was that good.
I liked the parts about Professor Umbridge and the corrupt Ministry 
of Magic and the yellow press, but overall it was kind of incoherent, 
I think.
I was also really disappointed with the cliche "big fight scene" at 
the end,featuring a bunch of underdeveloped characters like Tonks.
Even Ginny and Neville and Luna were confusing. There must have been 
10 or 20 people in that place, all blasting away with wands. Plus the 
whole prophecy problem could have been solved a lot easier. I'm 
reading the whole series again from the beginning, maybe OotP will be 
better the second time around.
Olaf, glad and big
