A review by rebeccazh
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling

Rereading this series after Cursed Child made me thoroughly disgruntled and made me miss these familiar characters. Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix is when it all starts getting grim -- a death a book; oh, Harry. First Cedric, now Sirius. He's so angry in this book. But after Sirius died, Harry becomes so withdrawn and quiet. He doesn't speak for pages. Oh, Harry.

Reading about the students' uprising is as vicariously satisfying as ever. Fred and George's epic departure from Hogwarts is one of those mic drop moments. Umbridge is really that villain you love to hate.

It's so good being back in this world, reading about the familiar, beloved characters and discovering the wizarding world along with Harry. I love JK Rowling's style too.
