In my first blog post, I am going to be talking about Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (that's the fifth one for those of you who don't know). This is my second time reading the series and I highly recommend these books to anyone who hasn't yet read them.
As you probably know, Harry Potter, who is now 13, is a wizard. He starts out his summer almost being expelled from his school, Hogwarts. Luckily he is saved my the mysterious headmaster, Dumbledore. But when he gets back to school, strange things are happening. The Ministry, which is sort of like the wizard government, is taking over Hogwarts. They fire all of the teachers and change all of the rules and naturally, the new headmistress hates Harry. Meanwhile, at Harry's new home, his uncle who is known as a murderer, is in trouble. Harry must survive school, get Dumbledore back, and clear his uncle's name, while hiding from and training to battle his infamous enemy, Lord Voldemort.
However, like all other teenage boys, Harry Potter also has to deal with friend problems and girl troubles, too. The Order of the Phoenix is a secret society made of friendly people that are all anti-Voldemort, and have all trained hard to fight him. But they always have time to help Harry out with his problems too.
This is one of my favorite in the series and if you haven't already, you should definitely read it.
Very nice Sara. I have only read one of the Harry Potter books- The Deathly Hallows which is the last one. Maybe I should actually read all of the others. The Order of the Phoenix sounds like it's quite interesting.
