Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix Is a wonderful and popular fantasy book written by J.K
Rowling. This book is about a 15 year old teenager with a strange lightning scar on his forehead
named Harry. In his fifth year, Harry learns after the reemergence of Lord Voldemort that many in
the wizarding community do not know the truth of his encounter or don’t want to believe him.
The Minister of Magic appoints the cruel Dolores Umbridge as Defense Against the Dark Arts
teacher out of fear of Dumbeldore. But her teaching is deficient and her methods are evil. Harry
decides with his best friends that he needs a group of students to defend the school against the
rising tide of evil wizards and witches. As Voldemort power grows Harry must doing everything
in his power to prepare to defeat him. This school years comes with more hardships with
teachers, wizards, and Hogwarts itself as this fantasy world becomes darker than ever.
In my opinion this book is great at showing the differences between the different sides of the
Wizarding world from Dumbledore and his allies, to the Ministry of Magic, to the rising
generation of wizards at Hogwarts. Many people believe Harry is delusional and Harry
overcoming this to teach his class what it takes to fight evil wizards and defeat them was
amazing to read. Harry showing leadership skills was fun to read, as well the horrible exploits of
Umbridge always had a looming threat about. The final act was even better as Harry and his
friends training are finally put up to the test as they face powerful wizards alongside
heartbreaking stakes where we truly see the writer’s strong will to stomach killing of characters.
This book was the darkest so far with my only criticisms being the one dimeniolasim of Harry of
being a angry teenager was annoying. Moreover the book was a bit too long and could have
had certain scenes cut to have a tighter plot.
