Book Review: Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix By J K Rowling
When the book Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix came out
, everyone was asking the same question will the book live up to the expectations created by the media hype? The first book had already become a literary legend. More importantly, was it possible to enjoy the book even if the readers hadnt read through numerous pages of previous books? Thankfully, the answer was YES!The Habit of Reading Was Back In Vogue
The previous book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire came out about three years ago accompanied with huge uproar of universal praise. The launch of Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix was really important in the history of reading, since the public libraries just lost their source of funding and the teenagers were gradually moving towards video games and movies. Parents were lamenting that kids were losing the art of reading. Suddenly all the kids were found partying around the idea of reading a book. Thats not all; even their parents joined the fun.
Keenly Awaited
This is the fifth book of the series which was eagerly awaited due to the cliff hanger ending of the previous book. The ending of the fourth book created anticipation, due to return of Lord Voldemort to human form so he could rebuild his army. He was determined he would only allow the pure blood wizards to exist. The fourth book was darker and compelling. It only ensured the Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix was even greater in stature and in terms of the story.
Harry Is Not Flawless
The portrayal of Harry Potter in the movies tends towards obnoxiousness because he is treated as a symbol of perfection. In the books, he has never been flawless, in fact he also throws tantrums and he has been wrong in several cases. He feels abnormally awkward around the girls, though his flaws only improve the quality of the book. The readers feel that Harry is a character just like them and it only makes him more popular than ever.
The Government Doesnt Believe Harry
The followers of Voldemort are known as the Death Eaters and those who are fighting against them are known as The Order of the Phoenix. The government, however, doesnt believe what Harry is saying (about the return of Voldemort) as they think Harry is only trying to attract attention. The Ministry of Magic takes over the school and starts destroying all the real learning processes by inserting too many rules and censorship in the learning process. Overall, the book Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix is much more intense and its a creditable achievement for J K Rowling to maintain her sense of humour in such a book.
