As a huge Harry Potter fan, I particularly love the insight into the anti-Voldemort group the Order of the Phoenix after Voldemort’s return in the previous book as, of course, this is going to be Harry’s main concern as opposed to his school work. Giving both parts of the Wizarding world equal time in this story, rather than just his school life, is interesting as a fan and also helps set up the direction of the rest of the series. I do find this book quite hard to read/listen to in places due to the difficulties my favourite characters face throughout.
