Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
(category: fantasy)book 5 of Harry Potter by
J.K. Rowling
published by Bloomsbury in 2003,read in September 2009 (and before, in 2003)
Agamedes' rating: 9 out of 10
Agamedes' opinion:
This is the “whining adolescent” volume. My dislike and boredom (on this, my second or more reading) lasted about three pages... Sure, Harry shouts at his friends, doesn’t listen to good advice, leaps where he should have looked -- but he is growing up! He is an embarrassment but if fits. As just one book in a series of seven, the discomfort of adolescence and the less than perfect support of Dumbledore are significant parts of the plot development. Who wants to read seven books all the same? And the surrounding fun and magic -- the background that makes this a great fantasy -- is as much fun as ever.
