Harry Potter #5

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Thoughts could leave deeper scarring than almost anything else.

"What did I care if numbers of nameless and faceless people and creatures were slaughtered in the vague future, if in the here and now you were alive, and well, and happy? I never dreamed that I would have such a person on my hands"

"Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike..."

“The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure. Thoughts are not etched on the inside of the skulls, to be perused by any invader. The mind is a complex and many-layered thing, Potter…or at least, most minds are….”

“Wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure”

‘I see them dead all the time… all the time! I dream about it…’

‘Molly, that’s enough,’ said Lupin firmly. ‘This isn’t like last time.’ 

Mrs. Weasley smiled tremulously. ‘Being silly,’ she muttered again, mopping her eyes.

But Harry, closing his bedroom door behind him some ten minutes later, could not think Mrs. Weasley silly. He could still see his parents beaming up at him from the tattered old photograph, unaware that their lives, like so many of those around them, were drawing to a close. 

And then, to see them surrounded by all those other happy faces… all waving happily out of the photograph forevermore, not knowing that they were doomed.

As long as he was busy he was happy; when the action abated, however, whenever he dropped his guard, or lay exhausted in bed watching blurred shadows move across the ceiling, the thought of the looming Ministry hearing returned to him… The idea was so terrible that he did not dare voice it aloud…

When the government of the magic world and authorities at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry refuse to believe in the growing threat of a freshly revived Lord Voldemort, fifteen-year-old Harry Potter finds support from his loyal friends in facing the evil wizard and other new terrors.

“He can’t come back Harry.” Said lupin his voice breaking “he can’t come back because he’s de-“ “he is not dead!” Roared Harry

He was laughing at her “come on you can do better than that!” He yelled. The second jet of light hit squarely on the chest.

oh yeah let’s talk in “riddles” good idea Harry especially with Snape

“He’s got padfoot at the place where it’s hidden”

oh he is dead either way sorry to break it to you Harry

“Okay” she said looking frightened yet determined. “I just got to say this.” “What?” “You…this isn’t a criticism Harry. But you do sort of I mean don’t you think you got a bit of a saving people thing?” 

He has achieved high marks in all Defense against the dark art tests set by a competent teacher

Judging from what he had just seen, his father had been every bit as arrogant as Snape had always told him.

I wonder who he is really talking about here you fukcing ass

“Then you will find yourself easy prey for the dark lord.” Said Snape savagely “Fools who wear their heart proudly in their sleeves, who can not control their emotions, who wallow in sad memories and allow themselves to be provoked this easily, weak people in other words, they stand no chance against his powers. He will panatrate your mind with absurd ease Potter.” 

“It’s on Valentine’s Day.” “Right” said Harry wondering why she told him this

No your not Harry that’s your godfather

Hagrid:”your not serious” Harry:”yes I am” 

“Weasley was born in a bin, he always lets the quaffel in. Weasley will make sure we win, that why all the Slytherin sing, weasley is our king”

oh hell nah Sirius is definitely doing that Hermione you are so right and only he would ever support such an idea he needs the drama

“You don’t think he is kinda living through us?” 

“You Applied first for the Defends against the dark art pose I believe.” “Yes” “but you were unsuccessful?” “Obviously”

I really like it, but this hero syndrome that Harry has is really begginning to piss me off.

Great story, just keep going the size of the book is overwhelming but it's definitely worth the read 

Kathy gerrard

Arguably one of the greatest books ever written.

My least favourite in the series. It’s a tough one! Harry is just so miserable, and there are some very important transitions and learnings here… but it’s just a particularly enjoyable read for the most part!

I really enjoyed this book for the most part, but it was just so long for no reason. I don't understand why it wasn't edited down more. However, as always it was incredibly captivating and atmospheric, and I am excited to read the rest of the series!

La trama tiene bastantes fallos y además son demasiadas páginas de relleno, el libro podrían haber sido 100 páginas perfectamente en vez de casi 900, no entiendo para que meter tanto relleno... Al menos es fácil de leer y no se me hizo demasiado pesado, pero eso no quita que sobre

Pff se me ha hecho muy bola. No pasa absolutamente nada en todo el libro, es acojonante que Rowling pueda llenar mil paginas de palabras que no cuenten nada. Lo único que hace es demostrar que Harry es un cretino y un prepotente cada dos por tres. Muy decepcionante, sobretodo viniendo del cuarto libro.

Harry Potter, now a fifth-year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, struggles with a threatening teacher, problematic house elf, the dread of upcoming final exams, and haunting dreams that hint toward his mysterious past.

We been following Harry through his struggles, but during the Order of the Phoenix we can see his true frustration with his life & that only makes him feel more vivid in our minds. 
This book was bittersweet for me. I loved Sirius & his demise brings me to tears. But I know it happens for the welfare of the whole story. Still, I will always resent J.K. a bit for that. :P

Harry is furious that he has been abandoned at the Dursleys' house for the summer, for he suspects that Voldemort is gathering an army, that he himself could be attacked, and that his so-called friends are keeping him in the dark. Finally rescued by wizard bodyguards, he discovers that Dumbledore is regrouping the Order of the Phoenix - a secret society first formed years ago to fight Voldemort. But the Ministry of Magic is against the Order, lies are being spread by the wizards' tabloid, the Daily Prophet, and Harry fears that he may have to take on this epic battle against evil alone.

(3.5/5) me gustó la historia pero el libro se me hizo largo de más, no solo porque la cantidad de páginas es mucho mayor que la de los anteriores, sino porque también los capítulos son demasiado largos. en general estuvo bien, con todo el misterio alrededor de los sueños de harry y todo eso. umbridge me parece un personaje muy bien hecho, a pesar de que es horrible y quise matarla a lo largo de todo el libro; y pensé que harry me iba a disgustar mucho más porque todas las reseñas que he leído decían que era imbancable, pero la verdad a mi me re gustó su actitud y me parece que encaja con todo lo que estaba viviendo y también con la actitud normal de un niño de su edad.

In his fifth year at Hogwart's, 15-year-old Harry faces challenges at every turn, from the dark threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named to the rise of Ron Weasley as the keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch Team.

Good shite, but honestly don’t think it’s as well written as the previous books. The end (last 150 pages or so) gets pretty jumbled and even boring at times. Also Harry’s a fuckin idiot which is frustrating. I know, I know, he’s a fifteen yr old... but still.

I love this series so much! If you haven't read it yet then go read it!!!
*I'm planning to review the whole series properly in the future

I am finding it really hard to think of how I feel about this book. I have only just finished it and I don't really know if it is a 5 star book, but at this point, this is what I have decided. This book is obviously quite a chunker and in turn taken me the longest of the books so far. There is so much contained in this book, some I absolutely loved, and some I found a little underwhelming compared to some of the other books so far. After looking back through the chapters, but also thinking about the book as a whole, I think I very much enjoyed it. My confusion of my feelings on the book may be from the unfortunate even I have just read(no spoilers but brace yourself☹️). Regardless of what I think right now, I would still recommend reading this, and although I don't think it was one of my favorites so far, it may be your's so READ IT.

Geoffrey Froggatt

Harry is such a snarky little shit in the books compared to the movies. I like it. The pacing of this book was incredible, there was never a dull moment. Professor Umbridge was a unique villain and I love how she was written. There isn’t much I can write about a book that I enjoyed. The writing style was juvenile but because of this it was easy to visualize the story and the world. I’m now coming to appreciate how well crafted the secondary characters are in this series. This book was long but it never felt like the story was bloated and I was constantly immersed in the storytelling.

It is only now that I realise how much Snape projected his hatred of James onto Harry

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling (re-read)

This is the fifth book in the Harry Potter series. In this book, the Order is once again fighting against Lord Voldemort. Harry is still struggling with being the Chosen One. This book has good action, great characters and continues to develop wonderful storylines.

This book is a saddening example of an amazing plot subdued by sub-par writing.

Briar's Reviews

This book was absolutely fantastic! I felt like this book really stepped it up from the last, much like all of J.K. Rowling's books have throughout this series.

Each book goes into deeper themes and reveals more about the background of the story. Somehow, Rowling releases each bit of information at just the perfect time so everything fits into place like a puzzle. 

In my opinion, there were parts of the story that seemed to just magically happen to make the plot move (pun not intended), but they do help tie the plot together. It seems like these plot devices are just put in to make Harry's life more difficult, and if that is the objection of the plot then it's doing great. But they do leave minor plot holes to those readers that are fully engrossed in the novel.

Overall, I loved it! I was hooked at every word and I will definitely be reading the rest of the series! 

Five out of five stars!
