In the fifth installment of the Harry Potter series, Harry finds himself being shunned as a mad heretic while the Ministry of Magic desperately tries to deny the Dark Lords return. Harry has to fight to make his voice heard, yet few people believe him. On top of that, a new professor at Hogwarts, Dolores Umbridge, was sent by the Ministry of Magic to keep a watchful eye on Harry and Dumbledore. Harry struggles to deal with the mounting pressure and spiteful government while training hard to protect himself and those he cares about from Lord Voldemort.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a great addition to the Harry Potter series. I love how it portrays propaganda within the wizarding world. It truly shows how the series has become a much darker story and relates Harry’s outlandish problems to real-world issues.
