Hi Sherry, 

My short answer to your question would be "because OP sucks". Of 
course, not a useful one. I understand you, though, as it's my least 
favourite in the series. I don't know quite why. Grimmauld Place is 
fine and I loved Capslock!Harry, but though OP has a collection of 
great moments, the book as a whole did not quite satisfy me. Oddly 
enough, HBP has a whole range of dreadful moments, but I totally loved 
it as a whole. 
I guess the only logical conclusion is you either like it or not, but 
even if you end up placing OP at the bottom of the HP top 6, you won't 
regret having read it - as it's crucial to book 6 plus, as 
Hickengruendler said, it gets better when you read it a 2nd time. 
Enjoy your HP experience!
