Book 119: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth book in the series, begins as usual on Privet Drive with Harry trying to surreptitiously listen to the muffle news for hints about what Voldemort was doing.  The quiet is soon broken when two dementors attack Harry and his cousin.  Harry is taken to Sirius' house, which is also the headquartered for the Order of the Phoenix,  for the remainder of the summer.  Once at school, Harry's fifth year gets off to a decidedly horrible start due to the presence of Dolores Umbridge in the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.  The year goes steadily downhill as Umbridge's powers at Hogwarts are expanded, and Harry once again comes face to face with Voldemort.  5 stars
