Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling
4.0
This was a speedy read in time for book club and I made it by the skin of my teeth. Overall, it was not my favorite book but definitely a necessary one that had to happen to fill in all the gaps in the story. A certain someone’s death was unexpected, but makes sense. I’m told there are many more significant deaths to come and I don’t recall any of them from the movie so this is scary!
While some parts of the book felt a bit draggy, I loved learning more about the Ministry of Magic and St. Mungo’s Hospital. I wished they showed more of both in the movie!
The penultimate chapter was chock full of details — I’m curious why she chose to reveal all of those at the end and not slowly throughout. The chapter also had some really good quotes that will hopefully transfer over once I manage to take my kindle off airplane mode.
4/5
