Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

5/5 stars!

Wow! I actually loved this one so much. I loved all the new characters (Luna Lovegood in particular who is someone I need to see more of) and Tonks and so many others who I loved. Because this book is nearly 800 pages I felt so fully immersed than the others even though prisoner of Azkaban is still my favourite. Umbridge is undoubtably the worst defence against the dark arts teacher (in a good way she was truly vile). I feel like I got to know Harry so much more on a deeper and personal level and the other too like Snape, Dumbledore and Sirius. Even though Harry’s moaning and screaming could get annoying he is a young boy who is going through so much so sometimes I feel sorry for him but him shouting at Dumbledore and Hagrid sometimes does grind my gears. Cannot wait for half blood prince!

"You do care," said Dumbledore. He had not flinched or made a single move to stop Harry demolishing his office. His expression was calm, almost detached. "You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.”

Read over ten times as a kid - audio book (owned) re-listen. Harry is a grumpy git this year.

I disagree with JKR and do not actively support her in any way
