Book Review: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

 Summary: Harry Potter is due to start his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His best friends Ron and Hermione have been very secretive all summer and he is desperate to get back to school and find out what has been going on. However, what Harry discovers is far more devastating than he could ever have expected...

Thoughts: This book! It never stopped or slowed down long enough for me to think straight! After the last book everything just seems to explode into happens and even the waiting period is agonizingly eventful!
 Okay, well characters develop thoroughly (and sometimes completely) and a bunch of new characters are introduced. I love the newcomers! Tonks and Luna were both especially lovable and fun. And there are of course, aside from the steady characters, mentions or brief appearances of familiar faces (whether wanted or not). 
 As I've already said, the plot is a catastrophic mess of happenings but it's wonderfully written. After all, only a good plot can actually make you care!
 I'm not even going to go to writing. This being the fifth book in the series, rest assured that the quality never drops. 
I'm still in denial of the ending and am taking a minor break from this series until I can procure a pumpkin coffee but overall, a fabulous next installment. Though let's be honest. If you've made it this far, there's little I can say that will stop you now. There's a reason these became instant classics!

Content: This book just sorta walks off a cliff. It's dark. Really dark and very violent. There's also a brief kissing scene. And, of course, loads of magic. Otherwise a clean read.
