I actually just bought Order of the Phoenix today when we went to Wal-mart, so we'll see. ^_^
Maybe saying he should have had "a hero's death" was the wrong way to explain my disappointment with Cedric's death. I know he's supposed to be an innocent victim, but still, I thought he should have gotten the chance to defend himself a little, even if it was hopeless. Or at least Harry should have had a minscule chance to save him. That would have been more interesting -- and probably more emotional -- than having Cedric being killed outright. (Nevertheless, I did end up crying a little. Not at his death, but at the reactions to his death.)
Personally, I found Prisoner of Azkaban rather anticlimatic because the person they feared for most of the book turned out to be a good guy. I did like learning about the Mauraders, though.
