Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
J. K. Rowling
e 4 Up-Harry has simply returned to Hogwarts after a lonely summertime.

The head of the Ministry of Magic is determined to discredit Dumbledore and undermine his leadership of Hogwarts, and he appoints nasty, pink-cardigan-clad Professor Umbridge as the new Defence force Against the Dark Arts teacher and High Inquisitor of the school, bringing misery upon staff and students akin. This bureaucratic nightmare, added to Harry's sure cognition that Voldemort is becoming more powerful, creates a drastic, Kafkaesque feeling during Harry'south fifth year at Hogwarts. The adults all seem evil, misguided, or simply powerless, and then the students must have matters into their own hands. Harry'south confusion about his godfather and father, and his credible rejection past Dumbledore brand him question his own motives and the condition of his soul. Also, Harry is now 15, and the hormones are beginning to kick in. There are a lot of hush-hush doings, a niggling romance, and very little Quidditch or Hagrid (more than reasons for Harry'southward gloom), but the ability of this volume comes from the young magician's struggles with his emotions and identity. Particularly moving is the unveiling, later a final devastating tragedy, of Dumbledore'due south very strong feelings of attachment and responsibility toward Harry. Children will enjoy the magic and the Hogwarts mystique, and young adult readers will find a rich and compelling coming-of-age story likewise.
