In September I read “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” by J.K Rowlings. “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” is a fantasy fiction set in Britain at a school name Hogwarts. It is a school for young wizard and witches to learn how to do magic, make potion and more. I was not able to finish the book but I was able to get to page 312 out of 870. “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” Is about Harry Potter starting his fifth year of Hogwarts. As the conflict develops Harry got sent to a hearing due to the use of magic out side of allowed area. Before Harry meet up with his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger and the Order of the Phoenix. The Order of the Phoenix is lead by Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, as he and the other group members plan out Harry’s case. If proven guilty Harry can get in trouble with the ministry of magic. Dumbledore was able to prove Harry’s innocence. In the rising action the return to Hogwarts was not great either. Hogwarts got a new defense against the dark arts teacher, defense against the dark arts is a class where you learn charms to protect yourself from evil. the new teacher, Professor Umbridge seems nice at first but she gave Harry detention mistaken thinking he was lying about the return of Voldmort. The punishment professor Umbridge has gave to Harry was cruel. She forcing him to write down “I shall tell no lies” with his own blood on a piece of paper with a pin that can extract blood in a painful manner. This made Harry feel Professor Umbridge was cruel, and unkind. A few day later a decision from the Ministry of Magic prohibit Dumbledore from being headmaster for teaching in a way that they do not approve. The Ministry of Magic has now chosen Professor Umbridge as the replacement for Dumbledore. Now Harry and his friends has to face the the unkind, cruel nature of Professor Umbridge as his new headmaster along with the return of Voldemort.
One thing l love about this book is how the character felt alive and realistic in a fictional world. One example is when Harry and Ron copy Hermione’s notes. This make the character realistic because it show that they have flaws just like any other human.
In “Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix” my favorite character is Harry. Harry is my favorite character because he mature. In the story the wizard witches use flying broomstick for travel and sports in their. In page 290 it states “what that Weasley riding” Malfoy calling in his sneering drawl “why would anyone put a flying charm on that” harry said “ignore them”. This show that Harry is Mature because instead of getting Mad he told his Ron to ignore Malfoy’s so he does not control Ron
My favorite quote in “Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix” is when Sirius said “Imagine wasting your time and energy persecuting merpeople when there are toerags like Kreacher on the loose” I like this quote because in the story Professor Umbridge hates merpeople which are people who transform into werewolves. Sirius was stating that there is more important thing that to separate different people like catching kreacher a criminal.
