Goodreads Choice Awards Book Club discussion

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the fifth book in the Harry Potter Series. The group is reading the series in preparation for reading the Fantasy Category Winner Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts One and Two later in the year.



Harry Potter is due to start his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His best friends Ron and Hermione have been very secretive all summer and he is desperate to get back to school and find out what has been going on. However, what Harry discovers is far more devastating than he could ever have expected...

Suspense, secrets and thrilling action from the pen of J.K. Rowling ensure an electrifying adventure that is impossible to put down.

I will continue to listen to the series.

Yup, I'm continuing with the audio :)

I'm in reading mode for this one, but i love the audio version as well. loving this read through

Currently on chapter 11.

I totally forgot that Ron and Hermione made (view spoiler)[prefect this year. On audible, the scene where they found out was hilarious (hide spoiler)]

I'm planning to start in a couple of days. I'm so glad I did this re-read. There was so much I forgot from books. Plus, I'm loving the audio.

Me too! And I forgot that we get to see a lot more about the twins' joke shop, and that's been a lot of fun to read.

Basically I have re-read this since the first May even if I had books I really should try to finish. It's pretty good still, way too long and there happen so many awful things, I kind of wanted to read something nicer but every book I'm currently reading feels very cruel. This book have couple my favorite HP moments, can't wait to read them again.

Started! Listened to about 11% today. Enjoying it as expected. I have to say that if I was Harry (view spoiler)[ I would have been so mad at being left out of everything. Everyone keeping secrets and having me watched... I probably would have reacted worse than Harry did. (hide spoiler)]

Otherwise, there have been a few giggles while reading. (view spoiler)[ I love that Ron refers to Hermoine's SPEW group (not sure that it qualifies as a group, since I'm not sure anyone's in it besides her) as spew. It annoys her so much, but it's so funny. (hide spoiler)]

A few days ago I had parathyroid surgery and there's an incision about 4" long across my throat. I need to get to Hogwarts immediately, so that Nearly Headless Nick doesn't feel so alone.

I'm sure he'd appreciate the company!

60% or so through (in chapter 24) There are definitely a few bits that I'd forgotten, which just makes the story even better reading through it again. I still can't stand (view spoiler)[Umbridge. She is just the type of person that would get under my skin and annoy me in real life. Those really fake people that try to smile and talk sugary sweet to your face... just the worst. (hide spoiler)]

We're pretty close Kristie, I'm currently on chapter 26. So much I don't remember ..... I obviously remember the main jist of the story but there's so much more details and smaller stories in the book than there is in the film.

And yes, she's a horrible person ..... I think my most hated character of all time.
