This book has become my 'safe zone', and these are dark times. 4,5 stars! This book is great! everyone is too angry and conveniently dumb in this one Probably overlong, and certainly not as good as the 4th book, but still wonderfully immersive and compelling.
The family romance is a latency-period fantasy, belonging to the drowsy years between 7 and adolescence. In ''Order of the Phoenix,'' Harry, now 15, is meant to be adolescent. He spends a lot of the book becoming excessively angry with his protectors and tormentors alike. He discovers that his late (and ''real'') father was not a perfect magical role model, but someone who went in for fits of nasty playground bullying. He also discovers that his mind is linked to the evil Lord Voldemort, thereby making him responsible in some measure for acts of violence his nemesis commits... Ms. Rowling's magic world has no place for the numinous. It is written for people whose imaginative lives are confined to TV cartoons, and the exaggerated (more exciting, not threatening) mirror-worlds of soaps, reality TV and celebrity gossip. Its values, and everything in it, are, as Gatsby said of his own world when the light had gone out of his dream, ''only personal.'' Nobody is trying to save or destroy anything beyond Harry Potter and his friends and family. Las tediosas vacaciones de verano en casa de sus tíos todavía no han acabado y Harry se encuentra más inquieto que nunca. Apenas ha tenido noticias de Ron y Hermione, y presiente que algo extraño está sucediendo en Hogwarts. En efecto, cuando por fin comienza otro curso en el famoso colegio de magia y hechicería, sus temores se vuelven realidad. El Ministerio de Magia niega que Voldemort haya regresado y ha iniciado una campaña de desprestigio contra Harry y Dumbledore, para lo cual ha asignado a la horrible profesora Dolores Umbridge la tarea de vigilar todos sus movimientos. Así pues, además de sentirse solo e incomprendido, Harry sospecha que Voldemort puede adivinar sus pensamientos, e intuye que el temible mago trata de apoderarse de un objeto secreto que le permitiría recuperar su poder destructivo.

It defies logic that any adult in Harry’s life would have considered him better off uninformed. I don’t mind plot dictated decisions as long as they have a strong explanation to back them up, an explanation that doesn’t have me calling into question the intelligence of characters whose intellect I’m supposed to admire.
But there were plenty of other things I did enjoy here, Luna Lovegood and all her spacey yet wise observations, Neville given more dimension and a bigger part in the story, The Weasleys just in general, and as always, Hermione. While it is irritating that Hermione with her cunning and her emotional intelligence (two traits Harry would never be accused of possessing) lets an often witless Harry take the lead, there’s certainly truth in that storytelling, you see it all the time in real life, a more qualified person relegated to the background, their good sense outright ignored or dismissed when they should be the loudest voice in the room.
