harry potter and the order of the phoenix audiobook

I still smile thinking about it! This audiobook really is a gem of a story and brilliantly told. One of my all time favourite parts has to be when Dumbledores Army decides to wreak havoc with the High Inquisitor (with even some of the teachers joining in with the fun) and Fred and George’s spectacular desertion. Without a doubt, the Order of the Phoenix has some of the most exciting, humorous, uplifting and heart wrenching scenes of the series. With a filthy, old, grumpy House Elf, a vile painting of Mrs Black which- when opened, will scream insults at anyone in the near vicinity. Grimauld Place, the home of Sirius and headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix gives us an understanding of wizarding homes- particularly those of dark wizards. St Mungo’s hospital for magical maladies and injuries is innovative and original, it is also where one of the many very humorous scenes between Arthur and Molly Weasley takes place. Not only do we get to meet new characters, but we get to spend a little more time outside of Harry’s usual haunts (Hogwarts, the Dursleys, Ron’s) which is nice because we get more than a glimpse into the magical world. Standouts for me would have to be Dolores Umbridge, Nymphadora Tonks and the mischievous Mundungus Fletcher. We also get to meet a whole load of new and loveable characters.

The novel introduces the Order of the Phoenix, a group committed to fighting against Voldemort and all he stands for. The story of Harry and his misadventures reaches new levels of complexity and darkness in this book. But they are growing stronger by the day and Harry is running out of time….

He wishes me to teach you how to close your mind to the Dark Lord.'”ĭark times have come to Hogwarts.
