Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a book about a boy named Harry Potter who is a wizard. Its setting is in London, which is where Harry lives. The time element is supposed to be present day, but it is a fiction book.
Harry has spent all summer waiting to hear news about Lord Voldemort, a evil wizard that Harry saw return the year before, but nobody believes him. One evening after listening to news ,he decides to go for a walk. He then sees his cousin, who he lives with and hates. They then get in a fight and Harry pulls out his wand and at that exact moment two dementors attack them. Dudley thinks Harry is attacking him so he punches Harry. Harry then heroically saves them both by producing a patronus and driving away the dementors.
They get back home and Harry gets a letter from the Ministry of Magic that says because he used magic he is expelled (Harry is underage and underage wizards aren't supposed to use magic). He is horrified. He can't believe he was expelled. Hogwarts was the only good thing in his life. He then gets another letter that says he isn't expelled but that he has to go to a hearing.
When Harry's friends here about him being expelled they are speechless. Hermoine just can't understand why he might be expelled when he saved Dudley. She is aghast. Ron is stupefied.
Harry goes to the hearing and is cleared, but there is a new teacher at Hogwarts that makes Harry's life miserable. Her name is Professor Umbridge. She was one of the people at Harry's hearing that said he was guilty. She is really rude to Harry. She gives him detention and makes him write lines with a quill that scratches whatever you write into your hand and uses your blood as ink. She also takes away Harry's privilege of playing Quidditch ever again. Somehow Harry gets through it all.
The climax is when Harry goes to the Ministry of Magic to rescue his godfather, Sirius, but Sirius isn't there. There are some people there though. They are the Deatheaters, Lord Voldemort's loyal servants. There is then a big fight where the Deatheaters try to steal a prophecy from Harry. Then Lord Voldemort himself arrives after the prophecy was smashed.

  • How Does Kathleen Rowling Use Injustice In The Crucible

    1260 Words  | 3 Pages

    Harry’s frequently experienced injustice is witnessed since the very beginning of the novel. His alienation from both the wizarding world and muggle (non magical) world cause Harry to long for the acceptance of his truthful story. Since Voldemort’s return occurred at the end of Harry’s fourth year at Hogwarts, his summer at Number 4 Privet Drive has been far from enjoyable (Chappell). If anything, it caused Harry anxiety, frustration, and anticipation of the horrible events to come (Chappell). Harry’s alienation first stems from the Ministry of Magic. When two dementors (magical hooded figures who guard the wizard prison, Azkaban) wandered into Harry’s neighborhood, he used magic to defend himself and his cousin, Dudley (Rowling 17). Because of this, the Ministry of Magic accused Harry of breaking the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery (Rowling 27). They made sure to enforce the “illegality” of Harry’s actions when they threatened to confiscate and destroy his wand (Rowling 62, 27). Harry, who had done nothing except defend himself in a life-threatening situation, felt alienated when the Minister of Magic himself would not believe his

    Secondly, the story ended in a very similar way, with the resurrection of Voldemort, the death of Cedric Diggory and Harry escapes from the wrath of Lord Voldemort. For me, the most important similarity is the choosing of the Four champions for the Triwizard tournament from the Goblet of Fire. Originally, there should have been only Three Champions to be chosen, but Barty Crouch Jr., the Death Eater who was a servant of Voldemort secretly entered Harry’s name in the goblet by bewitching it so in the end could resurrect Lord Voldemort again by having the bone of who he used to be (Tom Riddle) and the blood of his enemy (Harry). This for me is important as the story centers on the Goblet of Fire and how Harry was chosen as the Fourth champion surpassing all the tasks and in the end was proclaimed the Triwizard Champion but also the instrument for Lord Voldemort’s

    ...s fully aware that he should not be there, but that does not stop him from going. All through the film, Hagrid tells Harry to forget certain information which could lead to trouble. Curiosity gets the best of Harry as he constantly rebels to find out more information about Flamel and the person who is after the stone. Furthermore, the characters resorts to aggression when people get in their way. Neville attempts to stop the three main characters from sneaking out as they keep getting Gryffindor into trouble, but they easily put him in a full body freezing spell and continue on without looking back. The filmmakers may have molded the scenes so that they were perceived as bravery, but the underlying tone is undeniably rebellion. Instead of showing bravery and courage, one may be drawn to the idea that breaking the rules can be an effective way to achieve an endpoint.

    ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’, written by J.K. Rowling, is an excellent example of a modern novel that uses medieval influences extensively. Many of the novel’s characters are based on medieval ideas and superstitions. The settings in the book resemble old medieval towns as well as castles. The book is also full of medieval imagery such as knights in armour, carriages etc. Whilst there is no time travel involved in the novel, the medieval period is used to such an effect that the reader is encouraged to ignore the fact that the book is set in the present.
