Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, by J.K. Rowling

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the fifth book in the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling. The book starts off with an unexpected Dementor attack on Privet Drive in which Harry protects himself and his cousin Dudley by using magic, which is against the law. Harry is then rescued by members of the Order of the Phoenix (a group dedicated to stopping Voldemort) and they take him to headquarters of the Order. Harry has to attend a disciplinary hearing at the Ministry of Magic, where they will determine if Harry gets expelled from Hogwarts or not. Besides that, there is much more "adventures" that await for Harry.

This book is my second favorite book in the whole series because this is the one where everything starts happening. This is the one where the corruption is discovered, allegiances are placed, and the movement occurs. The authors writing in this is amazing. J. K. Rowlings creativity never ceases to amaze me. The way everything is placed, written, and thought of is absolutely perfect. I would recommend this book to anyone who believes in rebellions and standing up for what you believe in. There is also a refreshing sense of romance in this book. So if you like romance and adventure, you'd like this book.

Harry Potter And The Order of The Phoenix is the fifth book of of the seven book series written by J. K Rowling. In this book Harry and his cousin Dudley are attacked by a dementor in the summer where Harry has to use magic to protect himself. He later is taken by The Order of The Phoenix to find out what had occurred with the dementor and to also keep Harry safe. But Harry faces a greater treat of being expelled from Hogwarts because this is his second time using magic outside of Hogwarts. Tensions also begin to rise between Ron and Harry when Ron is chosen as the keeper for the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

In this book things really start to heat up and that is why this book is one of my favorites of the Harry Potter series. In this book things are changing dramatically friends are becoming enemies and enemies are becoming friends. I really enjoy the the plot of this story, and how the danger of "You Know Who" get more and more. The book is very well written and I enjoy the writers diction. This book gives you action, romance and mystery. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for their imagination to be used by reading this book.

The fifth novel in the Harry Potter series by author J.K. Rowling is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. After his lonesome and disaster filled summer, Harry is back at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for his fifth year. Harry discovers that the return of the Dark Lord a.k.a. Voldemort is being denied by the majority of the magic world, many too afraid to accept the truth. He forms a group with his fellow students to help prepare each other for the dangers that await them.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix did not exceed my expectations. To be honest, I feel the book was quite mediocre. The author kept on repeating some facts over and over again, overusing the power of repetition. It started to become very monotonous after a while. On a positive note, I did get a new perspective on the connection between Harry and Voldemort. Although this book did not intrigue me as much as the other books did , I did get a new insight on the main characters.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the 5th book in the harry potter series. It starts of with Harry Potter protecting Dudley from the dementors that try to attack him. He later gets in trouble for using magic in front of muggles. He later gets cleared by Dumbledore. At Hogwarts he notices that the new defense against the dark arts teacher professor did not teach well so Harry took control and made his own class.

This is one of my least favorite Harry Potter books because it was too long and it took way to long to read. It was got boring in my opinion half way through because it had no events taking place that were very interesting. The ending however really made up for the story and it changes the Harry Potter series for the later years to come. Overall I would recommend this book to my friends and family.
