( ![]() 4.1.2017: Again, I love these books. Although this one I didn't like as much than the last 4. I think it's the annoying teenager phase for Harry and of course there are other reasons for his behavior... But still, I see this as one story, not 7 separate books. The only one that really works on its own is the first one. Too much back story. Read 8 times. I read fiction very infrequently, and this series of books is the sole exception to the rule that I never re-read things. With the doom and gloom of a Chicago winter, sheltering at home to protect myself from COVID-19, and the BS surrounding the 2020 US presidential election, I needed some light reads. I've read the Harry Potter series probably four times over the past 15-20 years, but never so often that I remember everything really well. I have to say I probably also take something else away from the books every time I read them. What struck me the most this time re-reading Harry Potter, specifically the Order of the Phoenix, is the ministry's response to Voldemort's return. I have to say that of all things, that struck me as the most true, the most likely, and the most resonant with how things seem to run in the real "muggle" universe lately. This is my second time through this book. I liked it both times. Rowling doesn't really deal in subtlety, but she sure makes a nasty villain in Umbridge (who is more unlikable even than Voldemort, by a wide margin).
The family romance is a latency-period fantasy, belonging to the drowsy years between 7 and adolescence. In ''Order of the Phoenix,'' Harry, now 15, is meant to be adolescent. He spends a lot of the book becoming excessively angry with his protectors and tormentors alike. He discovers that his late (and ''real'') father was not a perfect magical role model, but someone who went in for fits of nasty playground bullying. He also discovers that his mind is linked to the evil Lord Voldemort, thereby making him responsible in some measure for acts of violence his nemesis commits... Ms. Rowling's magic world has no place for the numinous. It is written for people whose imaginative lives are confined to TV cartoons, and the exaggerated (more exciting, not threatening) mirror-worlds of soaps, reality TV and celebrity gossip. Its values, and everything in it, are, as Gatsby said of his own world when the light had gone out of his dream, ''only personal.'' Nobody is trying to save or destroy anything beyond Harry Potter and his friends and family. Las tediosas vacaciones de verano en casa de sus tíos todavía no han acabado y Harry se encuentra más inquieto que nunca. Apenas ha tenido noticias de Ron y Hermione, y presiente que algo extraño está sucediendo en Hogwarts. En efecto, cuando por fin comienza otro curso en el famoso colegio de magia y hechicería, sus temores se vuelven realidad. El Ministerio de Magia niega que Voldemort haya regresado y ha iniciado una campaña de desprestigio contra Harry y Dumbledore, para lo cual ha asignado a la horrible profesora Dolores Umbridge la tarea de vigilar todos sus movimientos. Así pues, además de sentirse solo e incomprendido, Harry sospecha que Voldemort puede adivinar sus pensamientos, e intuye que el temible mago trata de apoderarse de un objeto secreto que le permitiría recuperar su poder destructivo.
