This book "follows the darkest year yet for our young wizard, who finds himself knocked down a peg or three after the events of last year. 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 teenager. Even Professor Dumbledore, headmaster of the school, has come under scrutiny from the Ministry of Magic, which refuses to officially acknowledge the terrifying truth: that Voldemort is back. Enter a particularly loathsome new character: the toad-like and simpering ("hem, hem") Dolores Umbridge, senior undersecretary to the minister of Magic, who takes over the vacant position of defence against dark arts teacher--and in no time manages to become the high inquisitor of Hogwarts. Life isn't getting any easier for Harry Potter. With an overwhelming course load as the fifth years prepare for their examinations, devastating changes in the Gryffindor Quidditch team line-up, vivid dreams about long hallways and closed doors, and increasing pain in his lightning-shaped scar, Harry's resilience is sorely tested." - product description.

"It’s so long. I know it’s mostly world building and that’s interesting and all, but really compared to the previous two books, it’s kind of boring. And sooooo long. It took me forever as I’m a really slow reader but I’ve finished it. On to the next one. "

"this is the last book I expect to read from J.K. Rowling. unlike the rest of her books, this one was faster-paced from what I remember. it helped having action throughout the book than concentrated at the end. if I read any more, I'm getting them from the library."

"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I liked this one for all the rest of the wizarding world you get to see and the magic. Also, you have more than Voldemort in this one as an enemy and I think we all hate Umbridge. "

"This was the saddest book in the series so far and no one prepared me for how heart breaking it would be. The book itself did not disappoint and the story line was very unique! 4.5⭐️"

"Finished another reread of this one - it used to be my least favorite of the series, but it's grown on me as I've gotten older"
