Synopsis
Most critics and readers agree that HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX marks a turning point in J. K. Rowling's enormously popular series in that the story takes on a more mature, darker tone. Now 15 years old, Harry faces the downside of being the world's most famous wizard-in-training and must adjust to changes in his relationships with friends and mentors. He also learns something quite disconcerting about his deceased parents and begins to realize how his personal demons make him vulnerable to the evil Lord Voldemort. Further complications arise when Harry grows disillusioned with the government of the magical realm and begins to question the power of the authorities at Hogwarts.

Most critics and readers agree that HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX marks a turning point in J. K. Rowling's enormously popular series in that the story takes on a more mature, darker tone. Now 15 years old, Harry faces the downside of being the world's most famous wizard-in-training and must adjust to changes in his relationships with friends and mentors. He also learns something quite disconcerting about his deceased parents and begins to realize how his personal demons make him vulnerable to the evil Lord Voldemort. Further complications arise when Harry grows disillusioned with the government of the magical realm and begins to question the power of the authorities at Hogwarts. A film version was made in 2007, releasing just days below the final book in the series.

When the government of the magic world and authorities at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry refuse to believe in the growing threat of a freshly revived Lord Voldemort, fifteen-year-old Harry Potter finds support from his loyal friends in facing the evil wizard and other new terrors.

Industry Reviews
"If Harry has hit his awkward age, Rowling the writer has already passed through it. HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE, her first long novel, was a somewhat lumpy affair; though ultimately winning, it suffered from her lack of experience with the form and her rush to meet her publisher's deadline. If that book was the work of a born storyteller still sorting out her technique, PHOENIX is the smooth product of a natural at the top of her game."
Salon - Laura Miller (06/23/2003)

"In dramatizing the angst that Harry experiences, Rowling does her usual page-turningly good job. Although this is a complex novel, the high energy level almost never flags, thanks in part to the author's ability to create vivid scenes and set pieces. And although her tone is much darker than previously, there are welcome elements of humor too, many of which are rooted in the characters and quirks of Harry's friends Hermione, Hagrid and Ron, who comes into his own as a newly designated prefect and keeper for the Gryffindor quidditch team."
Los Angeles Times - Michael Cart (06/23/2003)

"With this book Rowling enters the realm of the coming-of-age novel. The children are fifteen. They have begun pairing and unpairing; moods swing; they see once-idealized adults more in the round. One of the restrictions of the novels has been how focused they are on the three friends, concentrating on the partiality of their experience and their abilities to reflect on it. Rowling makes it quietly clear that Harry's intermittent alertness to the dangers of his own gifts recapitulates the arrogance of his parents' generation, which came from self-assurance built on good looks, physical prowess, intelligent courage, and confident leadership. If, as Rowling wrote earlier, it is not our abilities but our choices which make us what we are, then this book revolves around the implications of choosing and the unforeseeable consequences of even our best decisions."
Times Literary Supplement - Ruth Morse (07/04/2003)

"Rowling cheerfully turns her own conventions on their ears, and the result is a surprisingly enjoyable ride....Rowling has managed to make Harry and his fate a bit less predictable, which, in the fifth of a seven-volume series, is a very good thing."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Janice M. Del Negro (09/01/2003)

"All the qualities that marred the fourth book--the loping, uneven pace of a novel that seemed churned out rather than written--have evaporated. Indeed, the faux gothic horror of the fourth has been replaced by a return to the wonderful, textured writing of the three earlier novels. The novel does not have the frankly grisly scenes that were so disturbing in GOBLET OF FIRE."
USA Today - Deirdre Donahue (06/20/2003)

"One of the many things that makes Rowling's series so wonderful is that Harry, who started the series as an 11-year-old, is aging believably as each book covers a year of his life. And as his sense of himself expands, so do the books and the Potter universe."
Atlanta Journal & Constitution - Phil Kloer (06/20/2003)

"J.K. Rowling's great gift -- her ability to conjure a rich, teeming, utterly believable alternative world -- hasn't failed her....she has also let Harry blossom into a genuinely complex and persuasive character."
Washington Post - Elizabeth Ward (06/24/2003)

"Rowling favors psychological development over plot development here, skillfully exploring the effects of Harry's fall from popularity and the often isolating feelings of adolescence."
Publishers Weekly (06/30/2003)

"Is HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX as good as the other Harry Potter books? No. This one is actually quite a bit better. The tone is darker, and this has the unexpected -- but very pleasing -- effect of making Rowling's wit and playful black humor shine all the brighter."
Entertainment Weekly - Stephen King (07/11/2003)

"J. K. Rowling is the real magician....HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX is rich and satisfying in almost every respect. It also delivers a genuine apocalyptic shiver, as dated as Daniel in the Old Testament and Revelation in the New or the Dead Sea Scrolls and the poems of Blake."
New York Times Book Review - John Leonard (07/13/2003)

      Darker side of the Series begins

    Goblet of Fire brought a surprise dark ending - this takes it a bit further.

    This book goes through the whole gamut of emotions for Harry and his friends - Harry is shown to be vulnerable to emotions that he cannot control (not entirely his own fault but you will see) and this book portrays him quite a bit as trying to get things done on his own (a preview of things to come or things to change - who knows). This book goes into the emotional side of Harry and the roller coaster ride it can be for a teen and also reasons highlighted at the end of the book.

    New characters are introduced and you get a clearer picture of alliances and where people stand in the war against Voldemort.

    He also finds out how costly it is to not listen to Dumbledore as another person close to him is lost. He blames himself and Dumbledore reveals a lot more answers (and raises a few more questions) at the end of this book.

    This book clearly answers questions and definitely sets up for the next book.
    You will get exposed to more dark magic in this book - a nice addition to see the both sides of the coin.

    The books in this series are getting longer but as you will justly so. This book is definitely more exciting and darker than the others but it is a very good read and my wife and I had to fight for who gets to read it - the next book is being bought with an extra copy for her :-)

      Moodiness and teen Angst name of the Game
    Review created: 04/18/07
    by:
    6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

    In this 5th installment of the Harry Potter book series, Harry shows himself early on to be a very different young man than we have grown to expect.

    Although completely justified, Harry is rather 'moody' in this book. Realistic in the sense that our 15 year old hero is finally acting more like a teenager than ever before. Withdrawn, angry, lashing out at his friends...this was the first time in the series that I thought, "Gee, I don't know if I would like to be Harry's friend if I were at his school this year". I could not help but wonder, as the events of this school year unfolded, why Hogwarts does not have something like a school counsellor on staff. A few months ago, a student had died at school, and with all the changes in administration (due to the interference of the Ministry and the High Inquisitor), there is a lot of stress for the students of Hogwarts. Oh well...I suppose wizarding kids are made of stronger mettle than us mere Muggles when it comes to emotional problems and upsets.

    This book was about the same size as the previous book (#4, the Goblet of Fire) which, by previous standards, is quite a big book (over 750 pgs...compared to the first 3 books at an average of a mere 300 pages). I found this story to be the most 'disturbing' yet...the things that bothered me the most was the though of the Ministry (government) framing Harry (ex. the Dementor attack and changing his trial time so that he would miss it and be found guilty) and the media slandering his character and that this was viewed as acceptable behavior. Also, the (literally) torturous detentions given by new 'Professor' Umbridge were almost too awful to imagine.

    I feel, for the most part, that this book was the beginning of a new chapter in Harry's life. There was the very short time in his life when he had a 'normal' existence with his parents, then the terrible 10 years that followed living with his neglectful/abusive relatives, then the (relatively) happy next 4 years Harry spends at Hogwarts with his friends...and then this. He is kidnapped and almost killed by a murderous villian and now (understandably) his life has changed and his mood with it. In this part of the continuing series, Harry must arm himself for future conflict by building his confidence and strengthening his friendships with his closest comrades. He learns to become a leader, and is forced (again) to deal with a great emotional loss.

    It is an excellent book. Of course, you do have to start at the beginning of the series and work your way up to this one. And please, do yourself a favor and read the book (don't just see the movie)!
