“You know, Minister, I disagree with Dumbledore on many counts...but you cannot deny he's got style...”
This book I have been DREADING! The size of this book scared me completely! 807 pages! I felt like, at times, the book definitely didn’t need to be 807 pages, and could have portrayed the storyline in 600 pages.
The Order of the Phoenix, I feel, set up a lot of the plot for the final books. There was a lot of information given in this book that kept the storyline going throughout.
I have watched the films of all the Harry Potter franchise and loved them but reading the books and watching the films is always so different. At times I felt like I was slugging my way through this book but at times I couldn’t put it down. I loved them but divulge into Sirius and Harry’s relationship and hated the moment when he died! Although, I felt there wasn’t a lot of storyline given when he did die.
This book saw the introduction of one of my favourite characters in the films, Luna! Luna was even more whacky in the books and I honestly loved seeing her name come up in chapters.
I look forward to reading the rest of the series! 4⭐️

This book is my third favorite. This is the year Harry has to fight the Dark Lord, as well as his Death Eaters, after Harry’s friend was killed the year before. We see Harry go into a sort of depression in the beginning, growing further away from his friends, and even Dumbledore. Through the power of friendship and love, we see Harry’s friends by his side, even though he thought it wasn’t their fight. I’d say the friendship and love shown in this book is the most powerful. It is the longest book and has the most information that really carries the story along.
The movie version of this book is pretty good. It leaves out a lot but the parts they chose to cut, didn’t leave you wondering like in the Goblet of Fire; instead, they kept most of the important bits that you need to know to have the plot make sense, and Daniel Radcliffe did a great job portraying Harry’s emotions. In the begining he’s very much alone as nobody believes Voldemort is back, and we see him getting happier, and more confident in his friends as the story continues, which to me, was the most important part of the book.
Favorite Quotes:
“One person couldn’t feel all that” “just because you’ve got the emotional range of a teaspoon!” - Ron and Hermione (movie)
“Give her hell for us, Peeves!” - Fred Weasley (book)
“We’ve all got both light and dark inside of us. What matters is the part you coose to act on.” - Sirius Black (movie)

Wow! The book Order of the Phoenix is immensely better than the movie. I know there are time restraints on them, but the movies fail to capture so much of the character development - especially of the side characters. (And it’s weird that the longest book has the second shortest movie adaptation…)
Parts of this one are annoying to read as you are following a moody 15 year old boy who is dealing with amind connection with the dark lord so his mood swings are A LOT. 😅 (Understandably so!)
I have unanswered questions aboutwhat exactly happened with Sirius and “the veil” / curtain room in general.
It’s heartbreaking to know that if Harry had just used the mirror instead of floo powder to talk to Sirius, he may not have suffered the same fate. 🥺
And of course we’re reminded that the Department of Mysteries has the ability to meddle with time…. So many questions/plot holes there…. I know all the time turners are smashed so they can’t use them AFTER this, but no one could come up with a time-related plan to stop Voldemort before this? Dumbledore casually let 3rd-years use a time turner to save Sirius, yet he wouldn’t mess with time to stop the dark lord?? 🤔🤔🤔
I also start to disagree with Dumbledore in this book. In Goblet of Fire he says “It is my belief that the truth is generally preferable to lies.” (This is one of many great Dumbledore quotes!❤️) Yet in Order of the Phoenix he says”I cared more for your happiness than your knowing the truth.” Which is a sentiment I understand, but wholeheartedly disagree with.

My blood was bowling. So many frustrations. I actually felt like a teenager again. What they went through is relatable, not the killing ofcs. Love, rebellion, fear, stress, grief, etc
I cried when our good dog was killed.
I was frustrated. I felt it all.
I was glad finally at the end of the book we received some form of closure. We needed it so badly.
Another happy part is how the twins stayed true to themselves. I finally understood and saw how important they are and how much I love them.
I don't believe I will ever hate a character as much as I did that pink evil twat.
The adults frustrated me yet I could understand them and agreed they were mostly right.
So many things could be avoided with better communication.
Also...that prophecy...how horrible..
It could have been Marcel Lubbermans. Marcel is such a wonderul and growing character in the books.
Lastly I love how the order of the phoenix stood up for Harry against the Duffelingen. Finally someone speaks up.
