Harry Potter: Order of the
Phoenix
I absolutely love the Harry Potter series,
and all of the books will always hold a special place in my heart. I have to say that of all the books, however,
this one was not my favourite.
Order of the Phoenix is a different kind of
book. In some instances this works you feel a whole new level of intensity and
excitement by the time you get to the end. I was truly moved by the last page.
Other times the book just has a slightly dreary, depressing feel. The galloping
pace of the other books has slowed to a trot here, and parts of it do seem
long, as if we’re reading all about Harry “just hanging out” instead of having
his usual adventures
A few other changes in this book – the
“real” world comes much more in to play rather than the fantasy universe of the
previous books, and Harry has apparently been taken off his meds. I know that
he had a lot to be grumpy in this book, especially with being a teenager and
all, but the sudden change in his character seemed too drastic. He goes from
being a warm-hearted, considerate person to someone who will bite his best
friend’s heads off over nothing. It just seemed like it didn’t fit with his
character, like he turned into a walking cliché of the “angry teen” overnight.
I actually liked the ending
(and yes, I cried!) as sad as it was. It packed a punch and it made me care
about the story even more. Still a really good book, with some editing it would
have been great.
