Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Book Review

6 days until Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Special Rehearsal Edition Script!

We are 5/7 of the way in our Harry Potter book reviews marathon! And we are celebrate that with reviewing Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix marks the drastic change in tone for the series, the book is brilliant and magical yet cold, emotional, and cruel.

The story here is very dark, and at some times gritty all in a New 52 Batman comic way. It still has some humor and magic tied all into it, but the story is held and bound by the emotions of all these characters, it's brilliant. It represents brilliantly how we could react to these frustrating, dark, and sometimes even terrifying situations. The characters this time get a new spin on them with this whole array of situations, they are still the same characters we know and cherish, but it's clear J.K. Rowling took a different spin with them.

The book is the longest Potter book to date that has a massive tally of over 800 pages in fact J.K. Rowling intended the book to be 1000 pages but Bloomsbury and Scholastic put restraints on how long it could be. The only flaw is that sometimes these emotions are recycled over and over again, especially frustration for Harry, it comes to a point where we are frustrated with the same point getting across. But this does not hold the book back at all, it receives a score of 9.9 out of 10.
