There is a door at the end of a silent corridor. And it's haunting Harry Potter's dreams. Why else would he be waking in the middle of the night, screaming in terror?

Here are just a few things on Harry's mind:

• A Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like poisoned honey.

• A venomous, disgruntled house-elf

• Ron as keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch team

• The looming terror of the end-of-term Ordinary Wizarding Level exams

. . . and of course, the growing threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. In the richest installment yet of J. K. Rowling's seven-part story, Harry Potter is faced with the unreliability of the very government of the magical world and the impotence of the authorities at Hogwarts.

Despite this (or perhaps because of it), he finds depth and strength in his friends, beyond what even he knew, boundless loyalty; and unbearable sacrifice. …

Though thick runs the plot, listeners will race through these tapes and leave Hogwarts, like Harry, wishing only for the next train back. (back cover)

Review of 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Oh, no nyt! Nelososan kohdalla olin jo vähän huolissani siitä, että sarja lerpahtaa alkupään vahvasta tunnelmasta, mutta tässä otettiin kaikki edellisen osan löysäilyt kunnolla kiinni. Tarina siirtyi nyt niin vahvasti maailmasta henkilöiden sisälle, että henkilöistä alkoi ihan oikeasti välittää. Samalla siirtyminen alkupään lapsenomaisesta magiasta synkisteleväksi nuortenkirjaksi saatiin päätökseen. Tässä kirjassa on myös sarjan tähän asti koskettavin kohta. Tiedä sitten, mitä minusta kertoo ihmisenä se, että sarjassa eniten sattuu ja säälittää viisitoistavuotiaan Snapen julma kiusaaminen.

Miinusta kuitenkin itsepintaisesta cisheteronormatiivisuudesta ja ehtymättömästä fatsheimauksesta, mutta ne ovat oikeastaan koko sarjan läpi kantavia kauneusvirheitä eivätkä nimenomaan vain tämän osan ongelma.
