Year 7 Student Book Review - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J K Rowling

Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix by J K Rowling

During the summer, Harry Potter and his cousin Dudley are attacked by Dementors. Forced to use magic to fend them off, Harry is expelled from Hogwarts, but his expulsion is postponed pending a hearing at the Ministry of Magic.

 He gets expelled as magic is not allowed to be used outside of their school, Hogwarts.

The Main Characters

 

Hermione Granger

Hermione's most prominent features include her prodigious intellect and cleverness. She is level headed, book-smart, and always very logical. Throughout the series, Hermione uses the skills of a librarian and teacher to gather the information necessary to defeat Voldemort, the "Dark Lord".

Ron Weasley

Tall, thin and gangling, with freckles, big hands and feet, and a long nose. Ron has the trademark red hair of the Weasleys and is indeed one of Harry's tallest schoolmates, even outgrowing some of his older brothers.

Harry Potter

Humble, brave, and loyal. Harry will do anything for his friends, including risking his own life. He stands up for the weak (like Neville Longbottom) and is willing to take on the evil and powerful, from snobbish classmate Draco Malfoy all the way up to He Who Must Not Be Named (Voldemort)

 

Luna Lovegood

A quirky, free spirit, but also surprisingly perceptive. She does not care what others think of her. She is also very funny and caring.

 

Conflict

Harry and his friends help the Order of the Phoenix in their quest to thwart the return of the evil Lord Voldemort. rising action Lord Voldemort begins to invade Harry's mind, controlling his dreams.

 

Solution

Members of the Order come to save them and they are able to get away.

 

What’s the book’s main message?

• The Government vs. The Truth. 
• Unity in the Face of Evil. Another leading theme in Order of the Phoenix is the importance of uniting in the face of threat. 
• Life Is Not Defined By Death.

 Conclusion

I recommend this book as it’s really fun and interesting. The book makes you want to feel like reading the rest of the series. If you like adventure or fantasy this is a great book for you.
