The Review:

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is following in the footsteps of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, in which the story took a sudden shift and took a darker tone. The general topic of each book keeps pace with Harry's age. As a result, in Book five, Harry is grappling with a variety of adult concerns while also dealing with adolescent turmoil. As usual, author J.K. Rowling has outdone herself.

And I'm beginning to wonder how I'll be able to give other books hundred percent marks and recommendations after reviewing these Harry Potter and Percy Jackson books back to back because I'm becoming more critical and looking for minute details that I wasn't looking for before these fantastic books. Reading these series gave me an incredible sense of accomplishment and I felt I had done something significant with both parties. Once again, I must recommend Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series to Harry Potter lovers as a way to fill in the gaps if they are through with the book and want something as magnificent as it is.

This episode takes place during Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts. Harry is traumatized and in a bad circumstance since he has been separated from everyone who cares about him for the entire summer. As the Ordinary Wizarding Level tests for Harry and his pals approach, he finds the power and loyalty of his friendships.

The author continues to add to her enormous roster of characters, possibly presenting Dolores Umbridge as one of the series' most terrible villains. This is significant because the Dark Lord Voldemort has a large number of fiends and demons eager to serve him. Perhaps it's because many of us can recall a teacher in our own lives who seemed to do all he or she could to make our lives miserable. Those instructors who were wrongfully implicated or who were not are still alive in Umbridge. Many teachers despised me because I could answer all of their questions and even asked them questions that they couldn't answer, and they constantly had an issue with me, which is why it was so simple for me to relate to Dolores Umbridge and loathe her to death.

This novel appears to be considerably more about the emotions of the characters' experiences than the others. Maybe J.K. Rowling's intention was to make this universe feel very intimate to us, and I believe she succeeded. There is family affection between Hagrid and his brother, the Longbottoms, Sirius and Harry, all the Weasleys, and the Hogwarts faculty friendship.

And it makes the reader filled with rage and contempt for Professor Umbridge and Bellatrix, as well as contradictory feelings for Harry's father as a child, Snape, Kreacher, and even Dumbledore. The emotions are well depicted, and nothing is as straightforward as it appears. We, along with Harry, are discovering that the world is far more complicated than we first thought, and I adore what this novel accomplished beyond the surface.

It's a fantastic novel because, in earlier books, all characters were either good or terrible; currently, even the nice ones, like James Potter and Dumbledore, have imperfections.

Final Thoughts:

This novel, like all of J.K. Rowling's others, is engrossing, intriguing, and difficult to put down. I admit it feels a little slow in some areas, but keep in mind that it is a large book with a lot of things to explain, so it is kind of okay if it feels slow even if it isn't. The problem is simply that you can't read so many pages at once, and even after reading three to four hundred pages, the book is still not in the middle, making you feel bored or overwhelmed. Despite this, it was a terrific page-turner that I finished in five sittings because I had other things to do at the time.

One very essential point to note is that even if this book was two thousand pages long, I would still believe it was insufficient, and this is what every fan and book lover would say, so if you are not a book lover and do not enjoy Harry Potter, this book is already too lengthy for you.

Synopsis:

“'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 ...”
