Author: J. K. Rowling ISBN-10: 0807220280 ISBN-13: 9780807220283 Format: Audio Publication Year: 2003 Category: JUVENILE FICTION Most critics and readers agree that HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX marks a turning point in J. K. Rowling's enormously popular series in that the story takes on a more mature, darker tone. Now 15 years old, Harry faces the downside of being the world's most famous wizard-in-training and must adjust to changes in his relationships with friends and mentors. He also learns something quite disconcerting about his deceased parents and begins to realize how his personal demons make him... | More | Price: $4.00 - $30.71 List Price: $45.00 |

This book goes through the whole gamut of emotions for Harry and his friends - Harry is shown to be vulnerable to emotions that he cannot control (not entirely his own fault but you will see) and this book portrays him quite a bit as trying to get things done on his own (a preview of things to come or things to change - who knows). This book goes into the emotional side of Harry and the roller coaster ride it can be for a teen and also reasons highlighted at the end of the book. New characters are introduced and you get a clearer picture of alliances and where people stand in the war against Voldemort. He also finds out how costly it is to not listen to Dumbledore as another person close to him is lost. He blames himself and Dumbledore reveals a lot more answers (and raises a few more questions) at the end of this book. This book clearly answers questions and definitely sets up for the next book. You will get exposed to more dark magic in this book - a nice addition to see the both sides of the coin. The books in this series are getting longer but as you will justly so. This book is definitely more exciting and darker than the others but it is a very good read and my wife and I had to fight for who gets to read it - the next book is being bought with an extra copy for her :-) Disclaimer: I am an eBay employee and this review is my own opinion and is not written on behalf of eBay.

| 2 out of 2 people found the following review helpful. I REALLY ENJOY THE HARRY POTTER SERIES I'VE READ ALL 6 OF THEM. I DECIDED TO TRY THE AUDIOBOOKS A FEW YEARS AGO. JIM DALE WHO DOES THE READING GIVES A PERFORMANCE IN THESE BOOKS. THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX REALLY STARTS TAKING YOU TO THE DARKER SIDE OF THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS. EACH BOOK IN ITSELF IS A JOURNEY, WITH A VERY CREDIBLE, HERO. | |

| 1 out of 1 people found the following review helpful. Year five at Hogwarts brings more answers to the puzzle between Voldemort and Harry. With the whole magical world doubting the character and truthfulness of Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore, Voldemort and his Death Eaters move in secret for something they didn't have in the last war. This book has tons of twists and turns including an evil D.A.D.A. teacher, Ron earning a spot on the house quittich team, and the flight of Fred and George. The Audio book is again read by Jim Dale who does a super job giving each character a distinctly different and believable voice. You forget it's just one person reading the whole time, an amazing effort. The story is emotional charged and will have you on the edge of your seat through out. Book 5 is from start to finish arguably the best in the series. | |

I love hearing the characters come to life and listening to the sounds when experiencing a book on tape. The Harry Potter series is fabulously done in this way. | |

This has added a new dimmension to the books. They have facts that are not covered in the book. Any Harry Potter fan would love it, these add to the experience. I bought becuase I had received some other books on tape and enjoyed them. | |
