Rowling also has a talent for writing characters you just hate, and WOW do I hate Umbridge. I remember how jarred I was when reading this one for the first time, wishing Harry would just be able to talk to Dumbledore and as an adult, I still feel the same way. Not many books for kids show adults admitting their faults, and this was the first glimpse we had at Dumbledore not being this perfect, omnipotent creature, but a man who can make errors. I liked that Dumbledore was able to admit to his wrongdoing for keeping Harry in the dark and take responsibility for both his actions and the consequences they led to.
#What is harry potter and the order of phoenix book about plus#
Of the books we’ve had in the series so far, this is when the maturity of the characters really starts to show.Īngsty Harry gets a lot of hate in this book, but I think Rowling did a good job showing Harry’s frustration of being kept in the dark plus his fear of Voldemort’s return. This book had so much in it, from complex government relations (surreal to read about as an American during these tough times), to exquisite foreshadowing (specifically when Petunia talks about “that boy” when she and Lily were kids), to a valuable lesson about character growth. “Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike.” By now, I’m sure you all know the drill, but as a reminder, this review will have spoilers and be stream of consciousness. I thought I had prepared myself for the last few chapters but after Beyond the Veil, I was tearing up for most of the remainder of the book.
When reading Order of the Phoenix, I was prepared to cry and was surprised I couldn’t stop crying. When reading Goblet of Fire, I was prepared to cry and was surprised when I didn’t. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review:
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Truly dangerous times have arrived in the fifth Harry Potter novel, but it never loses the trademark fun, excitement, and wonder at the possibilities of magic. It’s time for Harry and his friends to take drastic action, but the course they choose will have terrible unforeseen consequences. Meanwhile, Harry’s powerful connection to Voldemort seems to be growing even stronger, as he realizes that he has direct access to the Dark Lord’s mind. And just because Voldemort and the Death Eaters are threatening open warfare does not mean that fifth-year students get out of their exams. Problems are cropping up at Hogwarts, too, where government officials are meddling in just about everything. And even though Harry is at the center of many of their plans-Voldemort is intent on killing him, after all-they want so badly to protect him that they are keeping him completely out of the loop.
This time, all of the adults Harry trusts have joined in. In response, the Order of the Phoenix, which worked to stop him during his last rise to power, has reconvened. His influence is suddenly everywhere in the Wizarding world, and his former allies, the Death Eaters, are returning to his side in droves. It’s official: the evil Lord Voldemort has returned.
