Book Review: Harry
Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Harry
Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is about a boy called Harry Potter; he just
found out that there is a secret Order (which means a group) that is trying to
protect him from his arch enemy and the most evil wizard who ever lived – Lord
Voldemort. At the end of the story, his fugitive godfather- who is being
accused of being a mass murderer- Sirius Black, dies whilst trying to save
Harry and his friends. They all thought Sirius was being tortured to death by
Voldemort. Sirius was saving them along with the rest of the Order of the
Phoenix.
My
favourite character was Harry because he was heroic as he went to save Sirius
even though he knew Voldemort could do anything; everyone was terrified of
Voldemort so much that they even feared saying his name, as though it was a
jinx, but Harry was hardly scared of anything. Also, he was reluctant to let
his friends go with him as it was extremely dangerous and he did not want them
to suffer because of him. In the end, when his friends got injured, he
sacrificed the prophecy that connected him with Voldemort, which was very vital
for him to hear and very important to make sure Voldemort didn’t get his hands
on, just to get them all out of trouble.
My
favourite part of the brilliant book was when Dumbledore, Harry’s
school’s-Hogwarts- headmaster and the only person Voldemort was afraid of, and
Harry were in a room fighting Voldemort himself because there was so much
suspense and anyone could die at any moment. It was a really exciting part
because they did so many unforgivable curses and killing spells and also
because nobody believed that Voldemort had returned except for Harry and
Dumbledore and now, everyone saw Voldemort with their own eyes.
In
conclusion, I loved this book more than anything I’ve ever read and all people
who like adventure and magic, and who aren’t scared of things like this, would
absolutely LOVE this book.
