The biggest thing I didn't like was the lack of the
punchline. The previous 4 books certainly had more
bang-y ending.

I found lots of things to like about OOTP as well:

1. McGonagall rocks. Her exchanges with Umbridge were
priceless.

2. We saw a bit of Ravenclaw.

3. The whole occlumency/legilimency idea is fantastic,
I hope we hear about it some more in the future books.

4. Fred and George succeeding with their business.

5. Umbridge as an excellent parody on governments
meddling in education.

6. Neville and Ginny growing up.

7. My suspicion about school years of James and Sirius
being proven right. Oh yes, I thought they were a pair
of rich, handsome, pureblood, sporty, popular bullies
before OOTP came out, and if yahoo had a decent search
ability I'd have the message number to prove it.
