Amazon.com Review |
| As his fifth
year at
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft
and Wizardry approaches, 15-year-old
Harry Potter is in full-blown adolescence, complete with regular outbursts
of rage, a nearly debilitating crush, and the blooming of a powerful sense
of rebellion. It's been yet another infuriating and boring summer with the
despicable Dursleys, this time with minimal contact from our hero's non-Muggle
friends from school. Harry is feeling especially edgy at the lack of news
from the magic world, wondering when the freshly revived evil Lord Voldemort
will strike. Returning to Hogwarts will be a relief... or will it? The fifth
book in
J. K. Rowling's
Harry Potter series follows the darkest year yet for our young wizard,
who finds himself knocked down a peg or three after the events of last year.
Somehow, over the summer, gossip (usually traced back to the magic world's
newspaper, the Daily Prophet) has turned Harry's tragic and heroic encounter
with Voldemort at the Triwizard Tournament into an excuse to ridicule and
discount the teen. Even Professor Dumbledore, headmaster of the school,
has come under scrutiny by the Ministry of Magic, which refuses to officially
acknowledge the terrifying truth that Voldemort is back. Enter a particularly
loathsome new character: the toadlike and simpering ("hem, hem") Dolores
Umbridge, senior undersecretary to the Minister of Magic, who takes over
the vacant position of Defense Against Dark Arts teacher--and in no time
manages to become the High Inquisitor of Hogwarts, as well. Life isn't getting
any easier for Harry Potter. With an overwhelming course load as the fifth
years prepare for their Ordinary Wizarding Levels examinations (O.W.Ls),
devastating changes in the Gryffindor Quidditch team lineup, vivid dreams
about long hallways and closed doors, and increasing pain in his lightning-shaped
scar, Harry's resilience is sorely tested. |

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,
more than any of the
four previous novels in the series, is a coming-of-age story. Harry
faces the thorny transition into adulthood, when adult heroes are revealed
to be fallible, and matters that seemed black-and-white suddenly come out
in shades of gray. Gone is the wide-eyed innocent, the whiz kid of
Sorcerer's Stone. Here we have an adolescent who's sometimes sullen,
often confused (especially about girls), and always self-questioning. Confronting
death again, as well as a startling prophecy, Harry ends his year at Hogwarts
exhausted and pensive. Readers, on the other hand, will be energized as
they enter yet again the long waiting period for the next title in the marvelous,
magical series. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter |
