(  )  Tutter | Feb 25, 2015 |  series- 5th grade- 5th book in the series  RachelHollingsworth | Feb 24, 2015 | I had a great time reading this book to our 6 children as we drove across the USA, camping and visiting historical sites. We got hooked into the Harry Potter series and enjoyed each and every book, as well as the movies based on them. We recommend these fun, adventuresome books into this magical world to children, families...and adults who just love children's books! ( ) CILLYart4U | Feb 16, 2015 | Description: In his fifth year at Hogwart's, Harry faces challenges at every turn, from the dark threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and the unreliability of the government of the magical world to the rise of Ron Weasley as the keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch Team. Along the way he learns about the strength of his friends, the fierceness of his enemies, and the meaning of it all. Thoughts: I don't love moody, irritable, snappy Harry. I understand moody, irritable, snappy Harry, especially in the context of everything he's been through AND he's 15. But I do love most of the other things about this book. I mean, two words: Dolores Umbridge. That woman is EVIL. And so fascinating to read. I love every little disgusting detail, right down to the kitten plates. I love how the students come together and learn anyway right under her nose. I love how she's finally dealt with (although I wish it had stuck). I love Neville. I love his story and his relationship with his mother. I love the confidence he finds in himself and how, totally out magicked, he stands with his friends against evil. I love Luna. I just do. There is so much to like about this book and so often it's overlooked because of the teenage angst. But they are teenagers! With things to be angsty about! The only thing I hate it the obvious. The loss. I HATE it. I'm pretty sure I threw my book across the room the first time I read this. I still don't agree with it's necessity here. I just needed more time!!! Rating: 4 Liked: 4 Plot: 4 Characterization: 4 Writing: 4 https://www.librarything.com/topic/172068#4726924 (  ) leahbird | Jan 20, 2015 | A continuation of the brilliant Harry Potter world, this book in my own opinion seems to be a bit darker than the previous one's I have read in the series. A real magical world, the books do live up to all the hype, fantastic book, highly skilled author/story teller. Five Star !!!!! ( ) Claire5555 | Jan 15, 2015 |
 But tally the book’s strengths and weaknesses as you may, the fact remains that Rowling has once again created a fully-fledged world, and for the experience of being there with Harry, HP5 can’t be beat.  ''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'' is rich and satisfying in almost every respect. A considerably darker, more psychological book than its predecessors, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" occupies the same emotional and storytelling place in the Potter series as "The Empire Strikes Back" held in the first "Star Wars" trilogy. It provides a sort of fulcrum for the series, marking Harry's emergence from boyhood, and his newfound knowledge that an ancient prophecy holds the secret to Voldemort's obsession with him and his family. Dragones y Monstruos This would be an appropriate novel students can chose to read on there own. I will keep this in my classroom so the students can grab them at anytime of the year.

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
