The Order of the Pheonix is arguably the best in the series yet. J.k. Rowling shows how Harry is growing up and how his strange connection with Voldemort grows stronger and more obvious. Harry shows signs of violence which he cannot control, and seems more edgy.

After the dementor attack and near-expulsion from the wizarding world, Harry arrives at the Order of the Pheonix headquarters frustrated and rather hurt. He wants information on whats going on, but his two best friends, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger, have been sworn by Dumbledore not to utter a word.

Harry attends a hearing for which his dementor attack is questioned, and he is vouched for by Dumbledore and the elderly,cat-loving Squib, Mrs. Arabella Figg.Harry is cleared of all charges, but a mysterious woman named Dolores Umbridge along with Cornelious Fudge and othr members of the ministry have their doubts about Harry and Dumbledore's truth.

Percy has joined with Fudge and the Order is finding is difficult to find allies and friends in the time of need when Voldemort is returning to his old strength and power.

Harry arrives at Hogwarts only to find Hagrid missing and the horrible Umbridge woman as DADA teacher, to his disgust, placed their by the Ministry to take control inside Hogwarts.

Harry works to fight Umbridge, but she is like a snake, slithering around the truth and blaming Harry and his friends for nearly everything, while also gaining power to change Harry's life forever.

In return for his defiance, Harry is banned by Umbridge for no Quidditch-playing the rest of his years and the Gryffindor team struggles with their new Keeper, Ronald Weasley, and seeker, Ginny Weasley, to win the Cup.

In the end, Harry's true face is uncovered as he rushes to the aid of his godfather in the depths of the Ministry of Magic only to be encountered by Death Eaters and, yes, Voldemort himself.

This book shows how even in times of dark, Harry remains true and loyal t his friendships, even till the end...

I give this book 10 easy stars, and I hope everyone will read this masterpiece.
