Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Paperback)

Resistance, official denial and a fifth year lived under a hostile eye give the longest Harry Potter novel its weight. Bloomsbury Children's Books publishes the paperback at 820 pages with a suggested reading age of twelve and up, and the extra years matter: the book is angrier than its predecessors and more interested in institutions, propaganda and adolescent frustration than in school adventure alone. Rowling gives the supporting cast far more room, and the plot advances through meetings, lessons and small acts of defiance before its final movement. It is a long read, and one that repays patience. Worth noting: • Fifth book in the series and the longest at 820 pages • Reading suggestion of twelve years and above • Expands the roles of secondary characters across the school • Paperback format consistent with the rest of the Bloomsbury run Aimed at older children and teenage readers already following the series, published by Bloomsbury Children's Books and stocked at Boipoka.
