Rowling has risen to the challenge of being "too big to edit" and continues to grow as a writer. (  ) LisCarey | Sep 19, 2018 |  Have to change my stars to 5 on this one. There is so much going on in this book it is probably my favorite hands down. Harry learns about the Order and we get to see more of Sirus (I won't give anything away) What is with the dementors at the beginning of the book? I love the twists and turns in this installment and it definitely was worth the re-read. I seriously forgot how amazing this series is!!!!! (  ) nicolemeier111 | Aug 29, 2018 | i'm just so damn thrilled i decided to reread this series. ( ) nimbon | Jul 24, 2018 | When I first read this book as a kid, I gave it 3 stars and thought it was the weakest book in the series. Come to find out, I was a punk ass who didn't realize this may well be the strongest. This is Rowling at her best. Her storytelling in Order of the Phoenix is magnificent, and the stakes are so high that I felt my heart going into overdrive. This book has everything, and if you don't see it the first time around, give it another try. ( ) JaredOrlando | Jun 11, 2018 | The fifth book starts out seeing Harry's cousin, Dudley, gets demented by dementors. Harry is then brought to the Ministry of Magic for a hearing, and is not declared guilty. Harry finally goes to Hogwarts seeing for the fifth time in a row, another Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher has arisen not being Severus Snape, the Potions teacher. Harry then gets many detentions throughout the year with Dolores Umbridge, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. In response to this, Harry forms a Defense Against the Dark Arts group named Dumbledore's Army. They eventually get caught, and then go to the Department of Mysteries to find Sirius, Harry's godfather, and eventually gets killed. But Harry returns to Hogwarts with a knowledge of a prophecy made between Harry and Voldemort, and the truth is out: Voldemort is back! I really recommend this book to the action-lovers. If you also love fantasy, then this is also the book for you. This fifth Harry Potter establishes the best adventure there is to a series. This book really gets people's attention and makes them want to read this. This is one of the best books ever in my opinion. That is how much I love this book. Thanks for reading!

 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.

The fifth book in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series follows the darkest year yet for our young wizard, who finds himself knocked down a peg or three after the events of last year. Somehow, over the summer, gossip (usually traced back to the magic world's newspaper, the Daily Prophet) has turned Harry's tragic and heroic encounter with Voldemort at the Triwizard Tournament into an excuse to ridicule and discount the teen. Even Professor Dumbledore, headmaster of the school, has come under scrutiny by the Ministry of Magic, which refuses to officially acknowledge the terrifying truth that Voldemort is back. Enter a particularly loathsome new character: the toadlike and simpering ("hem, hem") Dolores Umbridge, senior undersecretary to the Minister of Magic, who takes over the vacant position of Defense Against Dark Arts teacher--and in no time manages to become the High Inquisitor of Hogwarts, as well. Life isn't getting any easier for Harry Potter. With an overwhelming course load as the fifth years prepare for their Ordinary Wizarding Levels examinations (O.W.Ls), devastating changes in the Gryffindor Quidditch team lineup, vivid dreams about long hallways and closed doors, and increasing pain in his lightning-shaped scar, Harry's resilience is sorely tested.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, more than any of the four previous novels in the series, is a coming-of-age story. Harry faces the thorny transition into adulthood, when adult heroes are revealed to be fallible, and matters that seemed black-and-white suddenly come out in shades of gray. Gone is the wide-eyed innocent, the whiz kid of Sorcerer's Stone. Here we have an adolescent who's sometimes sullen, often confused (especially about girls), and always self-questioning. Confronting death again, as well as a startling prophecy, Harry ends his year at Hogwarts exhausted and pensive. Readers, on the other hand, will be energized as they enter yet again the long waiting period for the next title in the marvelous, magical series. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter
