Non so chi più mi ha urtato il sistema nervoso tra Potter e Umbridge.

Poi mi chiedo perché i maghi celebrino feste babbane come il natale o la pasqua quando ci sono tante feste pagane più consone al contesto magico? Ho letto che ci sono anche delle citazioni della Bibbia.

Voldy sarà un supercattivone ma lascia harry frequentare le lezioni. Il Tom dentro di lui ha un gran rispetto per l'istruzione. Nobile. Sì, nel mentre lo disturba un po', ma guarda caso lo scontro finale sempre verso l'estate, verso la fine della scuola :)

Altre redflag anche più disturbanti. Ma come mai ce ne siamo accorti solo dopo che la JK si è rivelata?

Spoilerone amoroso: quando Ginny ha acchiappato il boccino prima di Cho. Ginny si sposa Potter :))))

Third time I've read Order of the Phoenix. It is a sprawling book, two stories really, the one of Voldemort's efforts to capture the prophecy and the other with Harry struggling with adolescence. I find Harry of Phoenix to be extremely annoying, a damaged youth afflicted by his history and (of course) his prophesied fate.

The star of the tale (for me) is Dolores Umbridge, a villain with a sweet soft voice and a powerful almost inaudible cough. Harry's efforts with DA foreshadows the important scenes in Deathly Hallows, but its presence here is important too, showing the power of the students resistance. George and Fred are leaders in this rebellion, and their escape from Hogwarts shows the students have other options besides obedience.

So, this is my least favorite Harry Potter story but I still feel bad giving it only 4 stars. What an incredible world.
