J. K. Rowling

There is a door at the end of a silent corridor. And it’s haunting Harry Pottter’s dreams. Why else would he be waking in the middle of the night, screaming in terror?


Harry has a lot on his mind for this, his fifth year at Hogwarts: a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like poisoned honey; a big surprise on the Gryffindor Quidditch team; and the looming terror of the Ordinary Wizarding Level exams. But all these things pale next to the growing threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named---a threat that neither the magical government nor the authorities at Hogwarts can stop.


As the grasp of darkness tightens, Harry must discover the true depth and strength of his friends, the importance of boundless loyalty, and the shocking price of unbearable sacrifice.


His fate depends on them alll.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

“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”

“Is this true?” “Is what true?” Harry asked rather more aggressively that he had intended. “Is it true that you shouted at professor umbridge?” “Yes.” Said Harry. “You called her a liar?” “Yes.” “You told her he-who-must-not-be-named is back?” “Yes” “Have a biscuit potter”

‘Don’t worry I can see them too. Your just as sane  as I am’

“That’s everyone in the family!” “What are Fred and I next door neighbors?”

“Ron,” said Hermione her jaw dropping. “But are you sure?”

Yeah not gonna happen sorry to break it to you 

He would come back to grimmwauld place and live with Sirius

Well guess what!! He fukcing was!! But he was killed by fukcing infernis while trying to safe yours and your friends arse 

“ I doubt regulus was ever important enough to be killed by Voldemort personally.”

Well tuck you Sirius really fuck you who gives you the right to talk that way about your little brother who died trying to make everything right!?

“My idiot brother. Stuffed enough to believe them”

I freaking loved this book when I was a teen, and Harry Potter is an arrogant, whiny, selfish, reckless, irresponsible piece of shit.

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!

Harry's two worlds collide in Order of the Phoenix as dementors come after Harry at Privet Drive. Narrowly escaping, Harry flees and is reunited with Ron and Hermoine at the home of Sirius Black. Before starting their fifth year at Hogwart's, Harry and his friends are already in for the biggest challenge academic and otherwise in this installment. With the Ministry of Magic challenging Hogwarts and Dumbledore paired with the resurgance of Voldemort, things get grim.

This book is an exhilirating read from start to finish. A prophecy concerning Harry and Voldemort is revealed, Sirius' family ties are uncovered and there is a fierce battle in the Ministry of Magic, ultimately killing one character.

Celebrate 20 years of Harry Potter magic! Dark times have come to Hogwarts. After the Dementors' attack on his cousin Dudley, Harry Potter knows that Voldemort will stop at nothing to find him. There are many who deny the Dark Lord's return, but Harry is not alone: a secret order gathers at Grimmauld Place to fight against the Dark forces. Harry must allow Professor Snape to teach him how to protect himself from Voldemort's savage assaults on his mind. But they are growing stronger by the day and Harry is running out of time.These new editions of the classic and internationally bestselling, multi-award-winning series feature instantly pick-up-able new jackets by Jonny Duddle, with huge child appeal, to bring Harry Potter to the next generation of readers. It's time to PASS THE MAGIC ON ...

I thought that this book was good when I read it

Fantasy. Da Harry Potter vender tilbage til Hogwarts er meget ændret. Man tror, at han lyver angående Voldemort, og ministeriet sender en repræsentant til skolen, der snart er delt i to fjendtlige lejre

THIS WAS SO WONDERFUL I’M OFFICIALLY OBSESSED AND I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS I NEED MORE

Finally! Someone needs to lock me in a room and force me to binge Harry Potter, I swear.

أفضل جزء قرأته في أول خمس أجزاء حتى الآن ، علاقة سيريوس و هاري فيها مسحة حزن و أمل ، الاتنين كانوا لوحدهم لسنين طويلة من حياتهم و أغلب الراوية هاري كان معتبره ملجأه مع كل مشكلة بيتعرضلها ، هاري يخسر عائلته لمرة جديدة.

Another masterpiece from Rowling. More bittersweet than the earlier books, but that is more realistic. The characters are growing up and finding out how complex life is. The Order of the Phoenix contains all of Rowling's usual depth and complexity mixed with adventure and some humor. In addition to the known and beloved characters, this book also contains one of the most despicable characters that I have ever read; the kind you love to hate!

Even though I've read these a few times, I still can't put them down once I start.

chloe ✩‧₊˚✧｡*ﾟ

it's an obsession now . 






reading Harry Potter makes me sad that we all grow old

now that I have gotten use to listening to audiobooks, I'm actually loving it !! I still sometimes read the physical copy but Stephen Fry is amazing (I'm feeling less detached like I said I was while listening to the first one so that's good) and I'm definitely going to listen to more audiobooks next year :)))

4.5 ( I'm gonna give my absolute fav 5 stars after I finish reading them all because I feel like I can't rate them all 5stars lmao)

My least favorite Harry Potter but still amazing. The Stephen Fry audiobooks are fab!

Not upto the previous 4 books in the series, but yeah the story is still going good.

If I could use one word to describe this book, it would be anger. There is just so much anger in Harry, that I am amazed he didn't burst into flames or something like that. There was so much anger in the wizarding world against Harry and Dumbledore. Everybody was just so mad and it was truly heartbreaking to read. 

This is also the turning point, I think, where the series starts to take a darker turn. This is no longer middle grade but full on YA, even bordering on adult. It's become obvious that Harry isn't just a wizard and the realizations that Harry has and from what Dumbledore had told him turns this series dark. He has the responsibility of saving the wizarding world. This is clearly something Harry doesn't want and as a result he struggles. He wants nothing more than to be a normal wizard but instead he has the entire world on his shoulders. That would be enough to make anyone angry.

In some aspects, I feel for him because who wants to deal with all that. He just a 15 year old boy. He wants to go on dates and hang out with his best friends. Instead he has to deal with the wizarding world accusing him of lying and thinking he's crazy. He has to deal with a teacher that is incredibly sadistic and a headmaster that won't even look at him. He has to deal with loss in a way that he hasn't dealt with. It's a lot for a growing boy to take on. In some ways, he handles it well but in others, not so much.

On the other hand, Harry's anger and child like behavior drove me nuts at times. Yes, I understand what he has to deal with but instead of leaning on his friends in this critical time, he shouts at them and pushes them away. Ron and Hermione tried desperately to help him and talk to him but it was like he wanted nothing to do with them. He claimed they wouldn't understand and that's why he held back information from them. But how would Harry know that they wouldn't understand if they doesn't talk to them. That is one of things that piss me off. Obviously Ron and Hermione have shown that they are incredibly loyal to Harry and have stuck by him through the worst. Why can't Harry trust them?

This criticism doesn't mean I hated the book. I mean, I rated it 5 stars and put it under the favorites shelf. It shows how Harry still has so much to learn about himself and what it means to have friends. Living with the Dursley's and being neglected clearly didn't help matters any. I imagine that Harry will always struggle with having people love him and I imagine that he will always struggle with trying to not push people away.

I’m not the biggest fan of this book. Could partly be because of Sirius dying. Maybe also because of um bridge idk just never been a big fan but still enjoyed rereading it

'You are sharing the Dark Lord's thoughts and emotions. The Headmaster thinks it inadvisable for this to continue. He wishes me to teach you how to close your mind to the Dark Lord.' Dark times have come to Hogwarts. After the Dementors' attack on his cousin Dudley, Harry Potter knows that Voldemort will stop at nothing to find him. There are many who deny the Dark Lord's return, but Harry is not alone: a secret order gathers at Grimmauld Place to fight against the Dark forces. Harry must allow Professor Snape to teach him how to protect himself from Voldemort's savage assaults on his mind. But they are growing stronger by the day and Harry is running out of time... Having now become classics of our time, the Harry Potter ebooks never fail to bring comfort and escapism to readers of all ages. With its message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new readers.

The first half of the book was pretty boring but I loved the rest of the book! It got me hooked!

listen if i was harry james potter i would have literally had my ""“emo episode""” in the first fucking book after being forced to live in an abusive home for ten years because the most powerful wizard of all time killed my parents and was out to kill me specifically but instead my teenaged son, harry james, goes through FIVE YEARS of traumatizing experiences and suffers people discrediting and silencing him at every turn before justifiably reaching his breaking point after watching his father figure die and you all have the nerve to call him “whiny”

^^ I've never related to a post more



OH MY GOD. I don't even have words for how much I LOVE this book. It's second in the series, to Deathly Hallows in my favourites list I just love it so much Everything about it makes me so happy. 

Why? 

Well first of all, there's leaps and bounds in terms of plot development. Things are starting to get dark, they're starting to get serious and it sets the tone for the next two books to come. I love Harry coming to take on his role as "The Chosen One"

Secondly, side characters! Thanks to the DA, we get to see soo much more of the school aside from the golden trio. Neville, Luna, GINNY, Fred and George, Dean, Seamus, Tonks, Sirius, Remus, Cho and soo many other characters who I just adore SHINE and it makes me so happy. I love the side characters as much as the trio and they get so much more screen time (page time?) then in earlier books

SO MANY COOL SCENES: I mean, the Weasley escape, the interview in three broomsticks, every DA meeting, Harry's first date, THE QUIDDITCH PITCH BRAWL, Umbridge being taken by Centaurs, the fight in the ministry, Dumbledore and Voldermorts epic duel ! There are so many scenes to love in this one. Literally iconic scenes like DA and the Weasley's leaving school can be exclusively found in ootp and I love them so much. 

I also just think OoTP is SO funny? I mean, the whole school rioting against Umbridge, the twins pranks, the DA meetings, the things said about Harry / that Harry says back. I laugh out loud when I'm reading this book, and I don't usually properly laugh when I'm reading. 

I literally just don't understand how anyone can not like ootp. I mean, beside the very sad events at the end, it's perfect. And EVEN that sad event (view spoiler)[RIP SIRIUS ORION BLACK YOU DESERVED BETTER (hide spoiler)] gives us such a beautiful moment between Albus and Harry, that is sad, but also so incredibly human and heartbreaking and such an insight into the humanity and love that drives Harry's character it's amazing. 

anyway, tbh it's harry potter I shouldn't have to say much I loved reading this with all my heart, obviously.

Pretty decent book, however felt like it did drag in parts.

A cozy read for most of the book, very emotional at times, but for the first time in the series I never experienced the bizarre plot twist as I’d come to expect by now. A different book in some senses but still a very worthy read in the grand scheme of it all - and a lot to consider after finally turning the last page, leaving me ready to begin the next.

Harry Potter ontdekt in zijn vijfde jaar op de Hogeschool voor Hekserij en Hocus Pocus dat de leerlingen steeds minder mogen en zelfs worden bespioneerd, maar hij wordt ook verliefd.

Harry Potter en de Orde van de Feniks

VERY nice and powerful. The story is very interesting and the side story is very relevant to the main story. It is sad but portrait in a beautiful way. It feels like the book melts into your heart.
