Okay, I. Love. This. Video. OOTP was my favorite book for yeaaaaaaaars. I remember going to the midnight release at Barnes and Noble the night came out and absolutely devouring it over the next 36 hours. It absolutely captivated me. I’m pretty sure I got to the end and then started from the beginning again haha. #12 Grimmaukd place, The Order of the Phoenix members, the visit to St Mungos and both sequences in the ministry (the trial + the end sequence in the department of mysteries)did such a great job at expanding the universe and intrigued me so so much. The tragic death of Sirius was so heartbreaking and I absolutely cried reading it. The final showdown where Voldemort and Dumbledore fight in the main hall was sooo exciting to read with the depths of their magic. And then the Ministry finally being forced to eat crow and recognize that he IS back. Ugh it does such a good job of elevating the tension, darkness, setting the stage for the high of the the final two books. I also remember how real and relatable Harry’s extreme mood swings felt at the time as (a moody teen myself) but now I can look back on it and laugh a bit. Can’t wait to watch the rest of these videos! The movie did this book NO justice at all. I’m curious how the new HBO series will go
Thank you for the kind comment and I love hearing the experience from someone who remembers the release!! I'm so jealous of you, I remember release of the sixth but just barely. I agree that this book rounds out the world so wonderfully, it has some political fantasy elements that make it feel so much more realistic. I agree that I think Harry's emotional outbursts are so on theme and perfect for readers age. PLUS I love the reveal of the prophecy, it comes just in time when more skeptical readers might be thinking "okay but why does Voldemort keep going after this kid?" and gives such great lore to the story.
i have just finished reading OotP, and I am sooooo surprised that !! Harry Potter !! is my favourite character so far. Sassy, bold, also slightly emotionally unavailable, and has a hidden dark side. I don't understand why so many fanfictions are written about Draco, we have such a golden source right here.
Iconic take and so true. I agree that Harry is such an awesome character and a great protagonist. And to top it all off he's so SO sassy. Find some harry fanfiction and let me know lol
