As a huge Harry Potter fan, I particularly love the insight into the anti-Voldemort group the Order of the Phoenix after Voldemort’s return in the previous book as, of course, this is going to be Harry’s main concern as opposed to his school work. Giving both parts of the Wizarding world equal time in this story, rather than just his school life, is interesting as a fan and also helps set up the direction of the rest of the series. I do find this book quite hard to read/listen to in places due to the difficulties my favourite characters face throughout.

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.

4.5

“You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.”

I forgot how long this book was... and, not only was it long, it was Harry's angst arc. He went through so much in this book and you can't help but feel for him. That being said, the chapters were 20-30 pages long, which felt like a lot at times. So, this book will have to take third place. I hate Umbridge.

Parts of it are SO stupid but other parts are so great?? (i own an old copy, so jkr gets 0 cents out of me) I was honestly really fascinated by the way the story weaves together totally normal teenage problems (sports, bullying, dates, exams, school rules, adults' contempt) and Harry's life-and-death Voldemort-related problems. She avoids this trap of like, "Harry's not a normal teen, he's got BIGGER problems" and shows how ALL of the things the gang struggles with feed into each other. And eventually, the good adults' contempt for the teens is their downfall.
