‘You are sharing the Dark Lord's thoughts and emotions. The Headmaster thinks it inadvisable for this to continue. He wishes me to teach you how to close your mind to the Dark Lord.'

Dark times have come to Hogwarts. After the Dementors' attack on his cousin Dudley, Harry Potter knows that Voldemort will stop at nothing to find him. There are many who deny the Dark Lord's return, but Harry is not alone: a secret order gathers at Grimmauld Place to fight against the Dark forces. Harry must allow Professor Snape to teach him how to protect himself from Voldemort's savage assaults on his mind. But they are growing stronger by the day and Harry is running out of time...

Having become classics of our time, the Harry Potter stories never fail to bring comfort and escapism. With their message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new listeners.

One of the best of this amazing series

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

All of the Harry Potter books are 5-star. They are so good that they make it difficult to review other books. It's almost impossible to give any other book 5 stars when compared to this series.
In relation to the rest of the series, The Order of the Phoenix is one of the best and most important books. If you have read the first four books and are reading reviews to see whether you should continue, you should. If you are wondering whether you can read this book without having read the first four, I don't recommend it.

Amazing

I started reading this series to my 9-year-old son to see if I could interest him in chapter books. He loved the books instantly, but I will admit that the first few books were a bit too young for me.
This book and the last (Goblet of Fire) have been really engaging and I looked forward to our reading sessions, which are sometimes as long as 3-4 hours, if we have the time. That's a long time to read aloud and I was very surprised that my rather kinetic, athletic boy kept begging for "one more chapter!"
What a wonderful experience to share.

Emotional Book

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

I didn’t like this book 18 years ago, when I read it for the first and only time. And everyone says it’s their least favorite book, and I thought I would dislike it as I read it again now. However, I really enjoyed this book. There were few dull moments, except for maybe the star card slow opening.
This book seems much more about the emotions of the characters’ experiences than any of the other books. Maybe J.K. Rowling’s intent was to make this world intensely personal to us, because I think it worked. The is familial love between Hagrid and his brother, the Longbottoms, Sirius and Harry, all the Weasleys, and the camaraderie of the Hogwarts faculty. You feel intense frustration and hatred for Professor Umbridge and Bellatrix, and added conflicting emotions toward Harry’s father as a youth, Snape, Kreacher, and even for Dumbledore. I would even add the conflict created toward the creed of the centaurs and the dismissal of Professor Trelawney.
The emotions are drawn out very well, and nothing is as simple as once it may have seemed. We, along with Harry, and seeing that the world is more complex than we initially assumed, and I really like what this book created beyond the surface.

Rohlwing Continues to Enchant All Ages

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

I am rereading the Harry Potter series, and once again experiencing the fun of visiting Hogwarts as well as all the characters in the wizarding world. Order of the Phoenix follows in the footsteps of Goblet of Fire, where the series took a sharp turn and headed down a darker path. As Harry ages, the overall theme of each book keeps pace. Thus, Book 5 finds Harry dealing with many adult issues while struggling with teenage angst.

Ms. Rohlwing continues to add to her large cast of characters, perhaps introducing one of the most evil villains of the entire series in Dolores Umbridge. This is saying a lot, as there are plenty of fiends and devils willing to serve the Dark Lord. Perhaps it is because many of us can remember that one teacher in our own life who seemed to do everything in his or her power to inject misery into our lives. Those teachers (wrongly accused or not) live on in Umbridge.

Like all of Ms. Rohlwing’s books, this one is captivating, exciting, and almost impossible to set down. Five stars.

Part of a Journey

18 months ago I told a friend of mine I would like to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child...having never read a Harry Potter book. Our tickets were for 2/21/19. By December I had read two books. I read the last 5 and saw all 8 movies in 8 weeks. The Order of the Phoenix was a part of these amazing people stealing my heart. While I like the Sirius Black in the movie better than the aspect of him I saw in The Order of the Phoenix, I appreciate the continued opening to me of the remarkable courage of these people. Thank you Jo Rowling and all the rest of you who make our time in the wizarding world so rich;

This book is an magical master piece dramatic but peaceful. This wonderful book created by j.k Rowling is just one of her amazing work. With Harry going through a difficult time ,with Sirius,the only one Harry trusts and I think the newly every one can relate to that. With Harry just leaning how to use his powers and the help and support of his friends and the horrific event of Mr Weasly that shocked the hole family this is just a truly inspiring book and on of my favourite in the Harry potter series and I think that everyone should read. These books have taught be lessons that I never would have none of it if J.K Rowling it wasn't for brilliant mind I think this book teaches you to make sense of your friends and if someone you know or love die s and you won't them back you all ways have help. I hope you read this book and a big thanks to j.k Rowling my favourite author I hope she will keeps on giving more hope for the people that need it. Thank you J.K Rowling we all love you.

Great book!

We as a family are reading these in order. We had read all the Jim McKay versions, however, this version will not be ready until 2021, so we switched to a text version. While the loss of pictures is disappointing; the rest has been amazing. It was delivered nearly next day and we started reading it immediately! We're trying to read a chapter a day and so far, we've been hooked. It's a little more adult-themed then the previous books (if you have kids), but overall, highly recommend across the board!

Great read on the go!

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2017

I would suggest this read to anyone who loves fantasy or Adventure. This book is only one of the incredible book series and worth the read for all ages. Although it is quite lengthy the content will keep you captivated throughout the entirety of the novel.

But digital download was a great option because I was able to have the book downloaded at the touch of a fingertip and within only a couple of seconds before I was reading. I am also the type of reader who always forgets to bring my book with me, so with the digital download I don't have to worry about leaving anything behind.

The series moves foward albeit rather slowly as Harry becomes an angst-ridden teenager

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 27, 2018

Verified Purchase

Well, I think any reviewer daring to criticise a Harry Potter story is on a hiding to nothing, but honestly this one was a bit of a struggle. The first three books are relatively fast moving and suit a young audience, and obviously much shorter. Number 4, The Goblet of Fire, is over 600 pages, and was too much of a challenge for my 9 year old boy who lost interest halfway through. I am determined to finish the series, having come this far, and managed to plow through all 800 pages here.
The story in this episode is rather slow developing, and frankly the editor must have been asleep on the job. There are numerous scenes that could have been removed and offer little to advance the story. It was really quite repetitive in places, and there are some many scenes that I felt I'd read before in other episodes. In this book Harry becomes an angst-ridden and often angry teenager whilst Hermione and Ron offer some stability, and Snape shows his usual over the top nastiness.
Although the plotting of the Prisoner of Azkhaban (Vol. 3) was well done and quite clever, I thought the Goblet of Fire was a little creaky in this regard, but here it becomes almost silly. There is no credible explanation why The Ministry turn against Dumbledore so spectacularly and the actions of Dolores Umbridge seem unbelievable. Also the sinister Death Eaters seem comically inept in the climatic scenes. The later books seem to me that the series isn't well mapped out and we are introduced to some characters and details that had no mention in previous books.
However, I guess I shouldn't lose sight of the fact that this is basically a series for children who won't over analyse the plotting. But then at 800 pages of text that is sometimes slow moving and repetitive, maybe JKR shouldn't either!
This is my least favourite in the series so far; Prisoner of Azkhaban is the one I most enjoyed.

Relationships, Loss and Witchcraft

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 31, 2018

I am 78 but I read all the Potter books and love the characters. I had to keep up with the grandchildren, so thank you JK Rowling for writing such an interesting series. I love the imagination and inventiveness involved in these stories. They are all page-turners, and I couldn't wait to read the next story in the series.... This one is a little bit sad, but so much happens that I cant wait to see what happens in the next book...
JK Rowling must go down as one of our best story writers for children. The books are a large chunk of a young boys life, peppered with witchcraft, and the skills necessary to fight the dark side. Hermione and Ron, Harry's friends are an essential part of the stories. The relationship between the 3 is absorbing and intriguing. Its as much about relationships as it is about witchcraft!

Beware different narrator - US version

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

I searched for audio version narrated by Stephen Fry and it took me to audible edition. I changed it to audio CD and placed order. When it came it is the US version narrated by Jim Dale. If you zoom in on pic it does say this in blurry writing at bottom of cover but nowhere in the written description did it tell me by changing format the narrator had changed. Jim Dale may be fine but we've been listening to Fry so have ordered his version from elsewhere as no idea which you get through third parties on Amazon. In fairness returns are easy with Amazon.

One of the best books in the series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

This episode deals with Harry’s fifth year at Hogwarts. Harry is traumatised and at a rock-bottom situation being isolated all summer from every person that is close to him. Through this he discovers the strength of his friendships and their loyalty as the Ordinary Wizarding Level exams are looming for Harry and his friends.
However it’s He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named that poses the main threat and a growing presence of darkness - a threat that neither the Hogwarts school authorities nor the magical government can arrest.

Many characters are cast in a new light as they grow up, not least Neville Longbottom. There are interesting new characters, like the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Umbridge is an annoying new head teacher who ignites the rise of an wizard resistance movement. And there is a surprise entry on the Gryffindor Quidditch team

The last few chapters tie many loose ends from previous books, making it a very worthwhile read. Though the bad-ass duel already glues you to the pages.

It’s brilliant book. My daughter explained to me this is so because in the previous books all characters we’re either good or bad, now even the good ones have flaws like James Potter and Dumbledore. Quite a thing to notice for a 9 year old. It’s 870 pages but our Potter-obsessed daughter wouldn’t have minded if it was longer.
