Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix

Book Description

In his fifth year at Hogwart’s, Harry faces challenges at every turn, from the dark threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and the unreliability of the government of the magical world to the rise of Ron Weasley as the keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch Team. Along the way he learns about the strength of his friends, the fierceness of his enemies, and the meaning of sacrifice.

As his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry approaches, 15-year-old Harry Potter is in full-blown adolescence, complete with regular outbursts of rage, a nearly debilitating crush, and the blooming of a powerful sense of rebellion. It’s been yet another infuriating and boring summer with the despicable Dursleys, this time with minimal contact from our hero’s non-Muggle friends from school. Harry is feeling especially edgy at the lack of news from the magic world, wondering when the freshly revived evil Lord Voldemort will strike. Returning to Hogwarts will be a relief… or will it?

The fifth book in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series follows the darkest year yet for our young wizard, who finds himself knocked down a peg or three after the events of last year. Somehow, over the summer, gossip (usually traced back to the magic world’s newspaper, the Daily Prophet) has turned Harry’s tragic and heroic encounter with Voldemort at the Triwizard Tournament into an excuse to ridicule and discount the teen. Even Professor Dumbledore, headmaster of the school, has come under scrutiny by the Ministry of Magic, which refuses to officially acknowledge the terrifying truth that Voldemort is back. Enter a particularly loathsome new character: the toadlike and simpering (“hem, hem“) Dolores Umbridge, senior undersecretary to the Minister of Magic, who takes over the vacant position of Defense Against Dark Arts teacher–and in no time manages to become the High Inquisitor of Hogwarts, as well. Life isn’t getting any easier for Harry Potter. With an overwhelming course load as the fifth years prepare for their Ordinary Wizarding Levels examinations (O.W.Ls), devastating changes in the Gryffindor Quidditch team lineup, vivid dreams about long hallways and closed doors, and increasing pain in his lightning-shaped scar, Harry’s resilience is sorely tested.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, more than any of the four previous novels in the series, is a coming-of-age story. Harry faces the thorny transition into adulthood, when adult heroes are revealed to be fallible, and matters that seemed black-and-white suddenly come out in shades of gray. Gone is the wide-eyed innocent, the whiz kid of Sorcerer’s Stone. Here we have an adolescent who’s sometimes sullen, often confused (especially about girls), and always self-questioning. Confronting death again, as well as a startling prophecy, Harry ends his year at Hogwarts exhausted and pensive. Readers, on the other hand, will be energized as they enter yet again the long waiting period for the next title in the marvelous, magical series. (Ages 9 and older) –Emilie Coulter

书名：哈利波特与凤凰社

在霍格沃茨的第五年，哈利面临着无处不在的挑战，从他不能透露姓名的黑暗威胁，魔法世界政府的不可靠，到罗恩·韦斯莱作为格兰芬多魁地奇队门将的崛起。一路上，他了解到朋友的力量，敌人的凶猛，以及牺牲的意义。

随着他在霍格沃茨魔法学校五年级的临近，15岁的哈利波特进入了全面的青春期，伴随着经常爆发的愤怒，几乎令人衰弱的暗恋，以及一种强烈的叛逆感。这又是一个令人气愤和无聊的夏天，和卑鄙的德思礼一家在一起，这一次，我们的英雄在学校的非麻瓜朋友几乎没有联系。哈里对魔法界没有消息感到特别不安，他想知道新复活的邪恶伏地魔什么时候会袭击。回到霍格沃茨会是一种解脱吗？

J·K·罗琳的《哈利波特》系列的第五本书讲述了这位年轻巫师经历的最黑暗的一年，他发现自己在去年的事件之后倒下了一两个钉子。不知怎么的，整个夏天，八卦(通常可以追溯到魔术世界的报纸， 《先知日报》)将哈利在三强争霸赛中与伏地魔的悲惨英勇遭遇变成了嘲笑和贬低这个青少年的借口。就连校长邓布利多教授也受到了魔法部的审查，魔法部拒绝正式承认伏地魔回来了这一可怕的事实。出现了一个特别令人讨厌的新角色：像蟾蜍一样、傻笑的(&#8220；两个都是。多洛雷斯·乌姆里奇，魔法部部长的高级副部长，接替了黑魔法防御教师的空缺职位，并很快成为霍格沃茨的高级检察官。对哈利波特来说，生活并没有变得更轻松。随着五年级学生准备普通魔法水平考试(O.W.L.)，课程负担过重，格兰芬多魁地奇队阵容发生了毁灭性的变化，梦见长长的走廊和紧闭的门，以及闪电形状的伤疤越来越痛，哈利的韧性受到了严峻的考验。

哈利波特与凤凰社，比该系列之前的四部小说中的任何一部都更多地是一个成长故事。哈里面临着进入成年的棘手过渡，成年英雄被发现是容易出错的，看似黑白的事情突然变成了灰色。那个睁大眼睛的天真无邪的神童不见了 魔法石。这里有一个青少年，他有时闷闷不乐，经常感到困惑(尤其是对女孩)，而且总是自我反省。再次面对死亡，以及一个令人震惊的预言，哈利在霍格沃茨疲惫而沉思地结束了他的一年。另一方面，当读者再次进入漫长的等待期，等待这部神奇而神奇的系列中的下一本书时，他们将会充满活力。(9岁及以上) &#8211；艾米莉·库尔特
