ReviewsKirkus Reviews July 15th, 2003 The Potternaut rolls on, picking up more size than speed but propelling 15-year-old Harry through more hard tests of character and magical ability. Rowling again displays her ability to create both likable and genuinely scary characters--most notable among the latter being a pair of Dementors who accost Harry in a dark alley in the opening chapter. Even more horrible, Ministry of Magic functionary Dolores Umbridge descends upon Hogwarts with a tinkly laugh, a taste in office decor that runs to kitten paintings, and the authority, soon exercised, to torture students, kick Harry off the Quidditch team, fire teachers, and even to challenge Dumbledore himself. Afflicted with sudden fits of adolescent rage, Harry also has worries, from upcoming exams and recurrent eerie dreams to the steadfast refusal of the Magical World''s bureaucracy to believe that Voldemort has returned. Steadfast allies remain, including Hermione, whose role here is largely limited to Chief Explainer, and a ragtag secret order of adults formed to protect him from dangers, which they characteristically keep to themselves until he finds out about them the hard way. Constructed, like GOBLET OF FIRE, of multiple, weakly connected plot lines and rousing, often hilarious set pieces, all set against a richly imagined backdrop, this involves its characters once again in plenty of adventures while moving them a step closer to maturity. And it''s still impossible to predict how it''s all going to turn out. (Fiction. 12-15) Bulletin of the Center for Children''s Books September 2003 Harry Potter''s latest adventure reveals an admirable hero somewhat the worse for wear: his grief at the death of Cedric, his fear of (and connection to) the evil Lord Voldemort, and his emotional distance from Professor Dumbledore combine to make Harry a bit short-tempered, a bit short-sighted, and a bit more recognizably human. Rowling eases readers back into Harry''s world-and-Harry''s precarious existence-with nary a ripple: the suburban peace of the Dursleys'' manicured lives is shattered by the intrusion of dementors, sent by a rogue in the Ministry of Magic and seeking to do Harry serious injury. A wizard rescue party retrieves Harry from the world of Muggles and sets him down amidst the Order of the Phoenix, a secret society that plots Voldemort''s final downfall. With an escalating love life, academic complications at school, and a Ministry of Magic determined to ignore the obvious, Harry is in an adolescent uproar. Revelations about Sirius Black, Professor Snape, and Harry''s late father cause the boy to question all he holds true, and his confusion clouds his judgment. A roaring set of practical jokes by Fred and George Weasley against a politically appointed, obnoxious new professor at Hogwarts lightens the tone just in time for the Order''s tragic confrontation with Voldemort and his malevolent minions. Rowling cheerfully turns her own conventions on th@ir cars, and the result is a surprising and enjoyable ride. While Harry''s much-touted love interest fizzles before it fires, familiar characters achieve a bit more depth. Ginny Weasley starts to come into her own, Hermione employs a dryly wicked wit, and Dumbledore reveals, if not feet, at least a little toe of clay. It''s no longer quite clear that all will work out in the end; the lines are being drawn, but, as exemplified by Percy Weasley, not everyone is on the right side. 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. JMD Horn Book Magazine (September 1, 2003; 0-439-35806-X) (Intermediate, Middle School) This review is much like the proverbial tree falling in an uninhabited forest: unlikely to make a sound. But for the record, HP5 is the best in the series since Azkaban, and far superior to the turgid HP4. With Rowling once again f

  • 20 years later, still essential to the Harry Potter saga.

    Even if this is the longest book in the Harry Potter series, it doesn't feel that long. Everything here happens for a reason, and even the most inconsequential episodes help build Rowling's characters. And I feel it's appropiate that the longest book is the one where the school is taken over by the overly sacharine tyrant that is Dolores Umbridge; a character so vile that you will end up hating her more than Voldemort (at least for a while). If Goblet gave us the starting point for the second half of the series, Order deepens our understanding of what it was like the first time he was around and how it affected people, and how the wizard community is taking his return.

  • I recommend it

    This is the one book from the Harry Potter series that I can easily get into. It has something the majority of people can relate to: being bored, lonely, getting in trouble during the summer vacation, having a teacher at school you just plain hate, going behind the teachers backs to make a club, and of coyrse sneaking off. This book is full of mystery, family, love, and sadness. Each chapter will make you feel something new. And this book in particular is a major part of the story line.
