Notes

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the fifth book in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, first published in 2003. The story follows Harry Potter during his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he struggles with the growing threat of Lord Voldemort's return to power. Harry is frustrated by the Ministry of Magic's refusal to acknowledge Voldemort's return, and he faces increased hostility from the wizarding authorities, who try to discredit him.

In response, Harry forms a secret group called "Dumbledore's Army" to teach his friends and classmates practical defense against the dark arts. The book also delves deeper into Harry's emotions, particularly his feelings of anger, loss, and isolation, as he grapples with his role in the ongoing battle between good and evil. Meanwhile, the enigmatic prophecy about Harry and Voldemort's fates looms large, setting the stage for the final confrontations. The Order of the Phoenix is a pivotal installment in the series, exploring themes of rebellion, loyalty, and the complexity of growing up, while advancing the plot toward the series' darker and more intense conclusion.
