Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix.
By: J.K. Rowling

Do you like books that have action, adventures, and mysteries, all packed into a fantasy? In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the sixth book in the series, read how Harry goes to a hearing in the M.O.M (Ministry of Magic), and how Harry saves his only relative, his godfather, Siris Black, from the evil clutches of Lord Voldamort. My favorite part was when Harry, Ron, Hermione, Luna, Neville, and Ginny go straight into the ministry, and Harry fights Voldamort again, alone. Though Voldamort escapes, the scene is full of action and weird objects, like flying brains. Will Voldamort return? Read this exciting book to see if Harry and his friends survive Voldamort’s followers, ‘the death eaters’?
