Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix 7

Pengenalan/ Orientasi :

 I absolutely  love the Harry Potter series, and of the books will always hold a special place in my heart.

Evaluasi 1           :

I have to say that of all the books, however, this was not my favorite.

Evaluasi 2           :

When the series began it was as much of a “feel good” experience as a huge mug of hot cocoa. The stories were bright, fast-paced, intriguing and ultimately satisfying.

Tafsiran (Interpretative recount)              :

Order of the Phoenix is a different kind of book. In some instances this works you feel a whole new level of intensity and excitement by the time you get the end. I was truly moved by the last paged. Other times of the others books has showed to a trot here, and parts of it do seem long, as if we’re reading all about Harry Potter “just hanging out” instead of having usual adventures. Reading in detail about Harry cleaning up an old house, for example-housekeeping is still housekeeping, magical or no, and I’m not very interested in doing it or reading about other people doing it.

Rangkuman       :

A few other changes in this book-the “real” world comes much more in to play either than the fantasy universe of the previous books, and Harry has apparently been taken off his meds. I know that he had a lot to be grumpy in this book, especially with being a teenager and all, but the sudden change in his character seemed too drastic. He goes from being a warm-hearted, considerate person to someone who will bite his best friend’s heads off over nothing. It just seemed like  it didn’t fit with his character, like he turned into a walking click of the “angry teen” overnight.

The real story seemed to happen in the last 1/3 of the books, and this part I loved. I actually liked the ending (and yes. I cried!)  as sad as it was. It packed a punch and it made me care about the story even more. Still a really good book, with some editing it would have been great.
