Why The Order Of The Phoenix Is The Most UNDERRATED Harry Potter Book 

I love this book. I relate to this part of the series a little too much. The movie adaptation is also one of my favorites despite a lot having to be left out.

I believe harry’s angst and anger is like, the features that make him feel more like a real person, than just a mindless hero protagonist that does the right thing because is the right thing. Also he is 15, he is a teen, and like most teens he sometimes feels angry about everything irrationally. Plus some theories even say that part of his constant anger was because of his connection with Voldemort, and is even hinted in the book when he says that sometimes he would feel angry or happy in moments that were unrelated of the situation. Other thing too about how the “mystery”is developed, is true that is not as good as other books, and we are almost in the dark without any clues, but i do believe that was on purpose cuz the books r written mainly from harry’s perspective and he, throughout the whole book, was mainly in the dark and too busy feeling miserable cuz of things happening in the school. The fact that harry was in the dark, is why the fifth book has such a sad ending. I also believe that’s why dumbledore decides to teach harry all that he has learned about voldemort in the sixth book, so they put the pieces together, and doesn’t repeat the mistake of leaving harry COMPLETELY in the dark. Other thing i like about this book is how they show adults can make mistakes, and not everyone in harry’s life is perfect. The show part voldemort in not the “only evil in the world” and how some adults can be cruel and mediocre, without necessarily being part of Voldemort’s side. And like how even the greatest character can make mistakes or be too emotional, like sirius who did treat badly kreacher or starting to be too reckless. (I still love him ;-;). Last thing, this books also brings more depth and complexity to things we’ve seen before and the magic world itself starts to move itself instead of being still and waiting for harry to discover new things. For example the ministry of magic is active key entity for the plot now more than ever. Azkaban is not the impenetrable prision we thought anymore and we learn more about who is in there. Even his parents are given more depth thanks to occlumency classes, etc

Yes! I loved this book! I really appreciated that this book was so much darker than expected. In the previous Harry Potter books, Harry and his friends were recognized for their bravery at the end and rewarded. But everything is different in this book. Harry is not able to celebrate winning the Triwizard Tournament. He's not welcomed as a hero for facing down Voldemort yet again. Nobody is preparing for the return of Voldemort. He's not aware of Dumbledore's plans. He's not allowed to be a part of the Order of the Phoenix or know important information. It really sets the tone for the last two books. Rowling does a good job of making us feel Harry's helplessness and frustration. I think Harry's the most criticized part of this book, which is just ridiculous. People expect him to be a good guy all the time. But if he did not lash out after everything he's been through, he would just be an extremely unrealistic character. I actually think he's very vulnerable and relatable in this book, especially to people who have dealt with problems like PTSD, themselves.

OOTP was always my favorite book in the series. It was the first book released after I discovered Harry Potter so I remember eagerly anticipating it for months and reading all sorts of fan theories on internet forums. I never thought it was poorly paced at all. I wish all 7 of the books were long and detailed like OOTP. However, I don't share your enthusiasm for the movie. I thought it was a real shame that they left so much out. OOTP is the shortest of all the movies despite being the longest book!

The Order of the Phoenix is a special one for me for many reasons. One is that I've been introduced to the series around 2003 and the book (premiered in my country at January 2014) and Prisoner of Azkaban movie were the first ones I did anticipated. Second thing is that it did a tremendous job in world building. We meet new characters, enter locations we've never been before (the entrance for visitors to the Ministry of Magic and the Ministry itself, the hospital, the kitchen at Hogwarts, Room of Requirement, Grimmauld Place, Department of Mysteries, Hall of Prophecies and many more). Also, after Voldemort's resurrection the story is slowly moving us towards the final confrontation, it's not usual year at Hogwarts anymore with Voldemort and his followers plotting to take over and the Order of the Phoenix trying to stop them. We get more politics here, resistance, even some civil activism. We get to see a new perspective on Voldemort, the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore and people in power in general. I strongly disagree that this book is too slow or something, it's as long as it should be. It is still full of magic despite the fact that it is so long and reveals so much, the whole series never loses this magic no matter how dark it sometimes becomes or what themes it connotes. Also, despite it being criticised for slow-pace, it is the first one when we get to see adult wizards in action. It is also more serious because it leaves us with major character death and a huge burden on the main protagonist's shoulder.

Im dealing with trauma myself, so I really love this book because I feel like (atleast emotionally) It is written very well and realistically. (The anger, helplessness, ect. ) I related to it so much and it made me happy- because even though I know people go through what I am trying to sort out, it was still nice to be able to see so many things I could relate to. It made me REALLY, TRULY realize I am not alone. That is why it will forever be my favorite. It makes me so happy, even though it is a much darker book than the ones prior.

The order of pheonix is my favourite book I really like long books 📖 that’s probably why

2 videos in such short succession. Keep up the good work my guy

Thank. You. Its my favorite book and everyone SLAYS it. It plays such an important part in the series and I find it so interesting and being longer just makes it better. I would read a 2000 page long Harry Potter book and love it.

I actually like Harry in OOTP. He just is so relatable. I actually have a similar things happen to me because nobody really believes me if im telling the truth and will always think im lying. Harry deserves to be angry. Imagine being at his spot. People thinks he’s a nutter and dont believe that Voldemort is back. Plus Dumbledore just litteraly left him in the dark. Harry have to scrap for news everyday at Privet Drive because nobody will give any news! I like how thick the book is. It also gives alot of detail which i enjoy. I like the movie aswell. Even though they cut alot of things, David Yates actually did very well for showing how lonely and angry Harry felt. Daniel Rachliffe also did amazing interpreting him. Sooo i actually like both book and movie 😊

Amazing.. I do think that this book is way too adult for kids which is probably why so many people don't really like it. You have to remember that most people read this book when they were kids or teens. Most people at that age aren't interested in politics and other heavy adult topics. When I read this book I was 20+ and I had a better time understanding and appreciating it :) Now, could you do a similar video on Chamber of Secrets? It's also very underrated. Perhaps even more

I agree, people gave the book much more hate than it deserved♥️

Its always been my favorite book :(

I don’t think Harry was too angry in this one just think about what was happening to him throughout the book but this is my favourite book and favourite movie even bough they left a lot of things out an dit was the second shortest but I hope they didn’t spend so long at Grimauld place but I’m fine with how it was it’s the fastest I’ve read and the longest Ive read I read it in 3 days

Its my favorite book of the series I just love the slower pace throughout the book, ans the fact that we follow harry in most of his classes I love the chapters in Sirius’ house, the slugs head And i LOVE the chapters at the hospital I like how we get to see neville evolving in the DA meetings And that we get some background on him The end of the book is not my favorite in the series, but its still action packed, and i do feel harry’s pain at the end I also really like the more academic theme in this book (especially chapter 31: owls) I like that we are introduced to tonks and luna, which are two of my favorite characters.. I also like the audience chapter, where we are introduced to t he ministry of magic. I love that quidditch is a well discussed subject throughout the book, and the rebellious nature of fred and george against Umbridge. Finally, I LOVE sassy McGonagall towards umbridge

I really like the fact that the mistery is not that important in this one because harrys character development and conflicts can stand in the foreground. I think it is also good because the series becomes more diverse because if this, not all 7 books have that much mistery there is one book which goes a litte different way. Because of that I think OotP is very unique which is very good.

I honestly love this book.

Definitely one of my top favorite books. Regarding Harry’s anger, I agree with your statements although I would also add that Harry is going through puberty. When I was his age I acted out, I was irritable, and I was a little jerk at times.

great! thank you

I love order of the Phoenix. It is my favorite book and movie

where did you get the illustrations from?

Thank you! Everyone hates this book but it’s my most favourite!

Definitely the best book in the series. The world building was phenomenal! Rowling expanded the HP Universe considerably in this book. And I LOVED the fact that it was nearly 900 pages. I couldn’t put it down!

I always thought it was bizzar that people hated that book. It was my favorite on the first read and remained so after my most recent reread.

The Order of the Phoenix is actually my favorite book

The Order of the Phoenix is my third favorite

This is my favorite book!

It's my personal favorite from the series

Is this Kerbal music?

I honestly loved Harry anger in this book. His character is far more interesting as we see him change a lot from how he is in the first four books.

I love the day to day stuff of hogwarts in the books

“Harry is angry during this book”, he’s 15, his year is going to shit, the government is spreading fake news about him, his godfather is locked in a house he hates and away from him, his mentor is barely talking to him and a 70something year old who’s tried to kill him repeatedly is fucking with his head and he can’t get a good night’s sleep… I’m extremely patient and you bet I’d be pretty damn pissed if this was going on in my life…

Order of the Phoenix is a great book. It felt draggy and Umbridge made it a pain to read.

I love the 5th book Harry, he's angry and sometimes even boastful. Just like a normal teenager he does dumb mistakes like punching Malloy and being rude to Hermione and Ron.

Personally, I think it's really mostly because of Umbridge. A person doesn't run into a megalomaniac like Voldemort nor a total psycho like Bellatrix very often. However, almost everyone has run into someone like Umbridge who covers her evil and bigotry behind a smile and a simpering manner. It's the everyday evil that is the scariest and makes everyone despise Umbridge and I believe affects their view of the book.

the best harry potter book

Easily the best book. It's basically the french resistance vs. the Umbridge Nazi occupation of Hogwarts.

It's an entertaining book but I feel there's no story, it's just a series of events one after the other. A lot of information is dropped, yet there's not a clear structure. Necessary however, because the following movies use all this.

Funny though I think order was always a great book and surprised it was underrated. Same with chamber being knows as the worst book but I didn’t think it was as bad however the films I think phoenix is the worst potter film though many love it and I think chamber is one of the best films but many hate it.

It is too long the movie was mess a bit because of it.
