Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling, 870 pages

It's Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts, and stuff is getting real: He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is back, but the stupid Ministry of Magic is fighting that truth with every slimy method in its arsenal: slander, lies, micromanaging laws, and worst of all, Dolores Umbridge, one of few fictional characters that makes me want to reach inside the book and slap her silly. My son and I are rolling right through these books together, and I can't say I'm sad to say goodbye to Umbridge (or the high-pitched voice I stupidly chose to employ while reading this aloud). On to the Half-Blood Prince!
