josh writes the following about Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix :
"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"

Pretend that you just got back from your fourth year at Hogwarts, and from escaping from a dark wizard that had tried to kill you when you were just a baby. On top of all that, the government won?t believe you that the wizard is back from the dead. The newspaper is also saying that you are crazy, and none of your friends will tell you anything about what is going on, so you?re just ready to burst with anger. Well, this is just what is happening to Harry Potter in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" by J. K. Rowling. The suspense that is written into this story makes it more exciting. The twists and turns also make it awesome. The setting creates a whole new and thrilling world.

The setting of this story affects the story a lot. This novel is set at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Northern England. If the story weren?t set a Hogwarts, everything that happens wouldn?t make any sense at all. If the story wasn?t set there, where would the students play Quidditch, where would Hagrid hide his secret, and where would young wizards and witches learn to use their magic? The setting also makes this story very exciting.

Hogwarts is where owls bring you your mail every morning, it is where the Quidditch House Cup takes place, and most of all, Hogwarts is where Harry Potter, Hermionie Granger, and Ron Weasly start all of their adventures.

In the plot of this tale there are many twists and turns that make the story exciting, and adds suspense. The twist that starts the whole story off is that two magical creatures attack Harry and Dudley Dursley, which causes Harry to use a spell to protect himself and his cousin. Since this is underage wizardry, he has to go to a hearing because it is against the law. Once he is back at school, there is a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who looks like a toad and won?t even let them practice spells.

"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" is a great book in which the suspense in the plot, and the great setting makes this the best book in the Harry Potter series so far.
