The Order of the Phoenix Summary

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 ...”

The Goblet of Fire Summary

The Review:

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth novel in the series by J.K. Rowling, it is a fantastic novel with incredible events and memorable characters. Anyone who hasn't read up to The Goblet of Fire should reconsider their decision, for this is the book where everything changes, and it's difficult not to read the rest of the novels after this.

This book follows Harry's transition into an adult in a more serious tale that brilliantly blends humor and drama. The novel has excellent character development, but one of the main characters will die. When Ron invites Harry to the Quidditch World Cup Final, the book opens with a competition. Ron's father has secured seats thanks to his Ministry of Magic connections, but the celebration is spoiled by some unwanted guests. Later, Hogwarts has another tournament, the historic Triwizard Tournament, in which Harry, despite his age, surprisingly participates.

Simultaneously, as lord Voldemort grows stronger now that his dependable servant, Wormtail, has returned to him, the tone of the novels darkens.

Another fantastic novel, a fitting sequel to the amazing Prisoner of Azkaban, which I adored.

Now, let's talk about something that is confusing, but I forgive it as a reader because it was actually not a bad idea, plus these books are basically intended for kids, and the author just introduced something new to the already expanding universe of Harry Potter, and it teaches the kids some more value of freedom and being born privileged and how to use it in a good way. Dobby now works as a free Elf at Hogwarts, which Harry, Hermione, and Ron discover. They also discover that hundreds of House-elves labor as slaves at Hogwarts. This instantly calls into question credibility. Harry, Hermione, and Ron have all been seen sneaking around Hogwarts late at night. Harry even learns about the underground tunnels in Prisoner of Azkaban. I can't believe they hadn't seen any House-elves during their three years at the school. Until this point, Hermione appeared to know everything there was to know about the institution and its history. Perhaps they were just uninterested and, like many children, had no questions about the domestic assistance that cleaned up after them.

I'm okay with allowing Harry and Ron's characters to explore ethically gray areas, but this setting doesn't feel quite right. Harry, more than Hermione, should have been sympathetic to the suffering of House-elves, given his history. The Dursleys treated Harry like a House-elf when we first saw him in The Sorcerer's Stone, making him to do chores and otherwise keep out of sight. He made a relationship with Dobby in Chamber of Secrets and hence should have had a personal stake in the House-elf debate.

Final Thoughts:

I have to admit that our brilliant author J.K. Rowling has outdone herself once more with another thrilling Harry Potter novel. I finished it in two sittings I couldn't put this story down and couldn't put it down for a second. I also liked the challenging vocabulary since it helped me improve my language abilities in crazy ways and it helped me in my own writing. I hope this post inspires new readers to begin reading the Harry Potter series, and if you enjoy it, you will undoubtedly enjoy Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson book series, which is also a fantastic series.

This is a really well-written narrative. The individual book, as well as the larger overarching plot. The book was fantastic, and it was definitely my favorite story-wise book I've read thus far. However, Prisoner of Azkaban has superior pacing and more exciting stakes and action throughout, making it the series' greatest overall novel. The evolution of narrative into something more fascinating and dramatic blew me away.

Synopsis:

“'There will be three tasks, spaced throughout the school year, and they will test the champions in many different ways ... their magical prowess - their daring - their powers of deduction - and, of course, their ability to cope with danger.'

The Triwizard Tournament is to be held at Hogwarts. Only wizards who are over seventeen are allowed to enter - but that doesn't stop Harry dreaming that he will win the competition. Then at Hallowe'en, when the Goblet of Fire makes its selection, Harry is amazed to find his name is one of those that the magical cup picks out. He will face death-defying tasks, dragons and Dark wizards, but with the help of his best friends, Ron and Hermione, he might just make it through - alive!

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 Prisoner of Azkaban Summary

The Review:

Out of the whole Harry Potter series, the Prisoner of Azkaban is by far my favorite! I liked how this novel differed from the others in the series in that instead of Lord Voldemort, Sirius Black is the major nemesis - or so we assume! The conclusion involves one of the series' biggest story twists, and it's ultimately about rediscovering family and belonging rather than combating evil.

Surprisingly, it isn't as intense as the other two. There are no monsters like Fluff or the viper, nor is there much violence. The only terrifying things in here are the Dementors, which are guards and ghost-like things at Azkaban and Hogwarts and are not that scary, but they sometimes do something to Harry and Sirus Black, who is the Prisoner of Azkaban, however, spoiler alert, so no more on this issue.

Unless you're an expert reader, I'd recommend waiting till you're 10 to read this series: parts of it could be too complicated, and there's a lot of action and SOME brutality. Just something to think about.

The notion that Harry Potter is being prepared to meet Hogwarts' greatest opponent grows as the characters in the Harry Potter universe age.

In terms of character arcs and story twists, there is a feeling of repetition across the three volumes, which rely on the intricate connection between the Gryffindor group and the Slytherin camp. But, as far as I can tell, that is the objective of the series.

A moving story with a satisfying finish. When I take a step back and look at it as a Young Adult novel I find it good for readers of all ages and I think it is fantastic.

J.K. Rowling's characters are both amusing and lifelike, and her words have an odd knack of coming to life. One of the best things about the Harry Potter series is that it gets better with each book, and you can see the cunning, convoluted narrative that Rowling has woven, complete with well-placed allusions and deceptively simple clues.

As Harry enters adolescence, the tone of the novel shifts. As a result, the plot becomes more engaging, but also more convoluted and darker.

Harry, unlike the unchanging characters in other novels or series, is growing older and becoming less emotionally stable. The novel continues to appeal to both children and adults, although it contains some terrifying monsters known as Dementors, as well as a lot of emphasis on Harry's parents' deaths.

I feel compelled to mention the Percy Jackson Series here, as I always do when discussing the Harry Potter Series, because these two series featured main characters that grew in age as the series progressed, bringing them much closer to reality and allowing readers to follow them more closely than static characters in other series.

The recognizable, approachable characters are brought to life and come across as extremely lifelike, which is fantastic for kids. In this installment, Harry's friendship with Ron and Hermione takes a new turn. Hermione is being forced to make difficult decisions that will affect Harry and, in especially, Ron, with whom she is always at odds.

Normally, I am opposed to mentioning names from the books I review, but in certain circumstances, I believed it was appropriate to do so, thus it goes as follows: I liked Professor Lupin, the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, he is a terrific new character who hides a huge hairy secret in the novel, but it also has a good cast of other characters. Professor Trelawney is in charge of Divination research. While Hagrid expresses his admiration for all magical animals. Professor Snape is cryptic, causing you to wonder about his genuine motivations. Cedric Diggory and Cho Chang, who play crucial roles in the series' subsequent installments, are also introduced.

Final Thoughts:

There are a lot of entertaining, unexpected, and thrilling story aspects in this novel. Many components in this novel are not what they appear to be at first glance; I can't say which ones since they are the story's important themes and might spoil it for the reader. The mystery surrounding Lord Voldemort's assassination of Harry's parents is becoming more central, and fresh information is being disclosed. The conclusion, too, was thrilling and dramatic.

Just keep in mind that you'll need to read the prior two books in the series to fully comprehend what's going on. J.K. Rowling has done an amazing job once again with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and how she managed to pull it off with so much mystery and the way she is building up the Lord Voldemort story in the background, which is veiled with hints dropping every now and then and keeps you wondering and worrying about Harry Potter at all times.

Synopsis:

“"Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. Just stick out your wand hand, step on board and we can take you anywhere you want to go."

When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of him, it's the start of another far-from-ordinary year at Hogwarts for Harry Potter. Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, is on the run - and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry's tea leaves... But perhaps most terrifying of all are the Dementors patrolling the school grounds, with their soul-sucking kiss...

Having now become classics of our time, the Harry Potter audiobooks never fail to bring comfort and escapism to listeners 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 listeners.”
