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. , more than any of the four previous novels in the series, is a coming-of-age story.
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. Life isn’t getting any easier for Harry Potter. Enter a particularly loathsome new character: the toadlike and simpering (“) 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. 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. Somehow, over the summer, gossip (usually traced back to the magic world’s newspaper, the ) has turned Harry’s tragic and heroic encounter with Voldemort at the Triwizard Tournament into an excuse to ridicule and discount the teen.
HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF PHOENIX BOOK NUMBER OF PAGE SERIES
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. Returning to Hogwarts will be a relief or will it? Harry is feeling especially edgy at the lack of news from the magic world, wondering when the freshly revived evil Lord Voldemort will strike. It’s been yet another infuriating and boring summer with the despicable Dursleys, this time with minimal contact from our hero’s non-Muggle friends from school. Sure, it’s long, but well worth your time.As his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry approaches, 15-year-old Harry Potter is in full-blown adolescence, complete with regular outbursts of rage, a nearly debilitating crush, and the blooming of a powerful sense of rebellion. Rowling because it truly opens up your imagination to new areas and heights. Overall, I think everyone should experience the writing of J.K. We can all learn from and enjoy this amazing writing style as it opens our minds to new levels of thinking.
There are many values taught within the covers values of friendship, loyalty, and trust that are portrayed page by page as the young students struggle to overcome the different obstacles set in front of them. True, I didn’t understand everything going on due to lack of knowledge of the past few books, but I really enjoyed the time spent reading The Order of the Phoenix. I felt that this book was written in a way that involves all age groups of readers. Overall, I was very impressed with the description and story plot. To be honest this is the first book I have read in the series. “Harry, suffering like this proves you are still a man! This pain is part of being human … the fact that you can feel pain like this is your greatest strength.” The following quote is an example of Harry realizing that all must suffer and that he needs to suck it up and learn from it.
Everyone suffers but it is how we deal with that suffering that really counts. In this book we learn that suffering is part of growing up. These were just cover-ups in order to keep the existence of Lord Voldemort more of a myth rather than a fact as stated by Potter. Pretty much every true story told in the past by Harry was switched around, making him sound like a crazy liar. Now, none of his classmates trust him they think of him to be more of a convict or a virus that is lethal. Throughout the year, newspapers have been writing stories about Harry and his inability to tell the truth. Eventually Dumbledore comes through and gets Harry out of this little mess with the School of Magic and is reinstated into Hogwarts. Unfortunately the School of Magic felt it necessary to expel Harry Potter from Hogwarts and suspend his wand. By using the wand, Harry was able to protect himself along with his Muggle cousin, Dudley. The story begins with a long series of problems that Harry seems to cause being attacked by Dementors sent to kill him wasn’t really his idea of causing trouble. Muggles and Dementors do not mix, especially when they both want to kill Harry Potter.
