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

4.0

My favorite so far. It immensely expands the Wizarding World, similar to the Goblet of Fire, and develops the character dynamics in a way that no other in the saga has done before. It also begins to connect the story of the previous books in a pleasant way, with some good payoff, and plant some interesting seeds for the future. Some good emotional moments with more mature themes.


Some spoilers here, but as the last chapter indicates:


"The Second War begins."
