Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
As his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry approaches in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, 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. 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. Harry is feeling especially edgy at the lack of news from the magic world, wondering when the freshly revived evil Lord Voldemort will strike. Returning to Hogwarts will be a relief… or will it?

Book five in JK 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. 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 teenager. Even Professor Dumbledore, headmaster of the school, has come under scrutiny from the Ministry of Magic, which refuses to officially acknowledge the terrifying truth: that Voldemort is back. Enter a particularly loathsome new character: the toad-like and simpering ("hem, hem") Dolores Umbridge, senior undersecretary to the minister of Magic, who takes over the vacant position of defence against dark arts teacher--and in no time manages to become the high inquisitor of Hogwarts. Life isn't getting any easier for Harry Potter. With an overwhelming course load as the fifth years prepare for their examinations, devastating changes in the Gryffindor Quidditch team line-up, 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 Harry Potter and the Philosopher'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 energised as they enter yet again the long waiting period for the next title in the marvellous magical series. --Emilie Coulter

5.0 out of 5 stars Potter blows your socks off, 29 Jun 2003
By A Customer
If you've bought but haven't started this book, then make sure you go somewhere you won't be disturbed! The fifth instalment of this series is a rollercoaster of a book, with facts and surprises falling out of the pages at every turn. It certainly does not start off slowly - more like sets off at a run and gets faster!!
Like Ms Rowling has revealed, Harry is much more angry in this book and I found it darker than the Prisoner of Azkaban (my favourite of the series so far until I read this one). There's lots to take in and blink and you could miss all sorts.
I didn't want to put it down (and actually found myself looking out of the window wondering what was going on at Hogwarts while I was at work!)and didn't put it down a great deal at home. I was actually laughing out loud and gasping with shock as I read - and no, I'm not odd.
If you haven't bought it; then do so. Or get one from the library or borrow one from a friend. Just read it.
Fab, JK. Can't wait for the next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love Harry Potter, 29 Sep 2003
By Jules Seymour (Bedfordshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Well, it's as good as we were expecting. I managed to read this book in 3 days, I had no social life and 'sshhhed' anyone that came near me or dared even open their mouths! Harrys journey through his fifth year at Hogwarts is as exciting as his first four years. Jk Rowling really does know how to hold the reader, just when you think it's going to calm down a bit for Harry something else happens. The characters are growing up brilliantly, from the subtle flirting, to the bitterness towards adults and the awkward growing out of robes (poor Ron!) I really can't wait for the sixth book now. You'll read this book and you'll become very envious of Harry and his friends - and I know you've all thought 'I wonder what house I would be in?!' A fantastic book not to missed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, 1 Nov 2003
By A Customer
Welcome to Harry's 5th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!

I can't remember when I have anticipated or enjoyed a book so much. Harry's 5th year is darker than ever, and not only does he have to deal with Voldemort's intrusions into his life, but also adolescence and the mood swings that go with it, his first crush, bullying of the first degree and the death of a loved one. As ever, JK Rowling invites you into her world and then dares you to leave.

This is so well written, so involving, that you simply will not want to put it down.

Roll on Book 6!!!
