Summary: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Comment: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
By: J.K Rowling

Period: P1
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a really great book. This book is about Harry getting a lot of nightmares about Lord Voldemort. He sees all the thoughts of Voldemort, all the hideous stuff he does, and he feels Voldemort¡¯s expression like if he¡¯s happy or not. Harry sees and feels all that from the scar on his forehead. Like one time, Harry saw Ron¡¯s dad getting attacked by Lord Voldemort. Luckily Harry saw that vision because Ron¡¯s father was able to heal and live. Harry tells the head master of Hogwarts, Dumbledore about his vision so the head master tells Harry to take occlumency lessons from professor Snape. He takes that lesson to make his mind strong and to block Voldemort¡¯s feelings and visions. Harry got into trouble again by professor Snape because he saw one of professor Snape's worst memory in a bowl, which made professor Snape really angry. This caused the professor to cancel the occlumency lessons. Also, Harry has a new Defense Against the Dark Art teacher named Professor Umbridge. She refuses to let the students use wands in her class so Harry decides to start a club. This club was called Dumbledore¡¯s Army. In this club, Harry taught other students spells that would help the other students in battles. Then, to top it all off, Harry had a vision that his god father Sirius Black was attacked by Voldemort. Harry, Ron, Hermoine, Neville, Ginny, and Luna go to save Sirius. They get in a battle and they defeat the Death Eaters with the help of the Order of the Phoenix. Earlier in the book, Dumbledore had to run away from his school because he was going to get taken into Azkaban. Well, in the fight against the Death Eaters, Lord Voldemort comes to fight Harry. Then, Dumbledore came and defeated Voldemort, so Voldemort fled away with the remaining Death Eaters. During the battle, Sirius gets killed and Harry gets really angry. At the end, Dumbledore comes back to Hogwarts and Professor Umbridge runs away. Harry learns to deal with Sirius¡¯ death and Harry went back home to wait for his O.W.L results.
I liked this book a lot because it had a lot of action in it as well as the other Harry Potter books. This book was my favorite because Harry gets into so much mischief. He nearly gets expelled and killed, and he had about twelve detentions. The action part was when Harry, Neville, Ron, Hermoine, Ginny, and Luna go to save Sirius. Everybody except Harry and Neville got hit with a spell. They fought off most of the Death Eaters but more came so The Order of the Phoenix comes and helped Harry and Neville.
I also sort of disliked this book because Harry had no sense of romance. See, he went on a date with the most popular girl on Valentine's Day. They went to this coffee house and ordered some coffee. While drinking the coffee, Cho (the girl) asked Harry about Cedric¡¯s death (Cedric was her last boyfriend). Harry, responded,¡± Can we talk about something else?¡± Cho, so badly hurt said, ¡°Fine, have a nice day!¡± Cho then ran outside weeping in the rain.
My favorite part of the book is the fight. Harry, Neville, Ron, Hermoine, Ginny, and Luna go try to save Sirius. They go in this room in the Ministry of Mysteries and find the Death Eaters. They go and fight using stunning spells and protecting spells. At the end, Harry and Neville were the only ones left. It looked hopeless when The Order of the Phoenix came and defeated the rest of the Death Eaters. During the battle, Voldemort comes and tries to kill Harry. Then, Dumbledore came and defeated Voldemort. Voldemort fled with rest of the Death Eaters that could still move. Also during the battle, Sirius died against a Death Eater. Harry had a lot of rage at the end of the battle.

Summary: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix-My Review
Comment: I thought this was the best book yet. J.K.'s latest masterpiece really left me on my toes(not literally). I thought it was a little slow at the biginning, but really picked up speed as I progressed. If you're to bored w/ other books, pick this one up. You won't regret it.

Summary: Harry Potter Channeling James Dean
Comment: Anyone who thinks this book is about magic and wizards, has not read it. Certainly this is the backdrop for the story. The real story is about a typical teenager who is feeling enormous resentment and adult authority along with all the rough parts of growing up: the first kiss, dating, choosing a career. Toss in "teachers that hate me," incompetent teachers, and general teen agnst and you have a truly great story. It took a second reading to realize just what a great job the author did in portraying the roughest times any young person can have. Thow in loss of loved ones, and the realization that one's heros are far from perfect and you have a first rate story. Rowling has truly developed some wonderful characters in this story, especially Dolores Umbridge, the new defense against the dark arts teacher.
Do not miss this and don't let the length discourage you. The more you read the better it gets.
