My opinion has always been that the books are two sets of trilogies bridged by The Goblet of Fire. When I began reading Order of the Phoenix I found it really depressing as it is a huge departure from the preceding books, with the realization that Harry (and everyone else's) world has changed to one that is now at the dawn of a conflict. The feeling of doom is somewhat stifling, but once I adapted my mindset, I found the change in direction utterly compelling.

I think Hermoine's words at the end of GoF sum it up completely:

""Everything is going to change now, isn't it?""
