I enjoyed #5 immensely. I especially liked the way Rowling developed Ginny Weasley - she's turning out to be a very interesting young witch. In general, I think, Rowling does much better with her good guys than with her villains.
I also liked the way a lot of stuff that happened in this novel was prefigured in the preceding ones. It shows that she has done an excellent job of world-building and future history plotting.
