Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

In his fifth year, Harry is troubled and isolated, because many in the wizarding world refuse to believe warnings about a returning danger. At Hogwarts a new official teacher imposes strict rules, and students begin to organise in secret to learn what they are not being taught. Harry also struggles with anger, nightmares and the weight of expectation. The longest book in the series, it explores authority, truth and political denial, as well as the awkwardness of being a teenager, and it marks a more serious phase of the story.
