Harry Potter is in his fifth year and on his way back to Hogwarts and new magical encounters, especially the Order of the Phoenix, which he has never heard of before.
I must say that this fifth book seems to be a bit gloomy but not less interesting. It’s written so vividly that in some parts you feel the evil seeping through the words, as though Voldemort reaches out trying to grab a hold of you.
All the characters are now familiar, but still, you get to know them even deeper, there is always something new to find out, something unimaginable that hooks you up. While reading I had the impression that many questions about Harry are finally being answered, you get a clearer picture. I’m in awe of the author’s imagination and her ability to put it down into words, the series gets better with every sequel.
Despite the apparent maliciousness, there is some space for romance, even at Hogwarts and perfectly embedded into the story.
