Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix-J.K. Rowling

This book is about a boy named Harry Potter. He is a wizard, but hates the summer holidays, because he has to spend them with his mean relatives, the Dursleys. When he is outside hiding in order to listen to the news, he hears a deafening bang from the streets and is blamed for it by the Dursleys. When they have finished telling him off, he sets out to find his cousin, Dudley. He finds Dudley with his friends talking about the latest person they have beat up. Harry walks with Dudley and cannot help teasing him about his size and his nickname. When Harry has reached the limit, suddenly everything goes black (to Dudley) and dementors glide onto the street. Dementors are black-cloated figures who, with the chance, will kiss you (that’s when they suck the soul out of your mouth) and you will exist with no soul. So when Dudley falls to the ground, Harry produces a Patrones. A Patrones is a spell to repel dementors; each wizard’s Patrones takes a different form due to the wizard’s personality or past experiences. And then the Dementors glide away. The only problem with that is, underage wizards are not allowed to use magic outside of school. If you want to find out what happens to Harry and Dudley, then you should read this book.

  1. Hello, my book is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,it is the fifth book in the series of Harry Potter. It is a fantasy novel. If you know the story so far, then please follow along with the plot of the 5th novel. Now, dreading the stay with the Dursleys as well as dying of boredom, he still remains hidden from trouble. But it all changes when-strangely- Dementors (underlings of the Ministry of Magic) attack Harry and his Uncle’s son, Dudley. Then Harry tries to avoid being kissed by a dementor, which would result in soul sucking. He summons a Patronus (a protective charm) and the Dementors fly away. Later that evening, Harry gets expelled for using under-aged magic, and is scheduled a hearing for his violation. To add to that, Ron and Hermoine are Prefects- which bothers Harry, who has the mentality that HE should have gotten the role in place of Ron. Harry gets sent to the Order of Phoenix (organization) and hears about Hermoine’s view on owning elfs- a weapon that Voldemort desperately wants. Harry is also struggling with Dumbledore depriving him of more secretive knowledge. School for Harry is no picnic either. Dolores Umbridge, the new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher as well as High Inquisitor, punishes Harry for believing Voldemort is back. She does that with cruel detention. Harry has to cope with that, by starting a group at the place Dobby suggested, the Room of Requirement. They named themselves the D.A.(Dumbledore’s Army). While sleeping, Harry finds out he has a hidden connection with Voldemort and saw a snake attack Ron’s father. So he learns Occulmency, but lags behind because of all the other coping. Hagrid’s disappearance also adds to suspicion for Harry. However, the main point is will Voldemort succeed? Will Umbridge get the better of him? Will she find out about the group? I really liked this book. It consolidated adventure, romance, and action together. I would recommend this to boys and girls who enjoy the formerly discussed genres.
