This is the fifth book in the famous and by now classic story of Harry Potter the teenage wizard. “He-who-must-not-be-named” is back now for only a little while and the world already isn’t the same anymore. People fight a lot, Hogwarts is taken over by the Ministry of Magic (which is not a good thing), Harry Potter is being portrayed as a liar and last but not least “the order of the Phoenix” is being formed again after almost 16 years. So much for a quiet year.
