Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Mary GrandPre. Harry, now fifteen, finds himself in the role of outsider as, in the larger world, adult wizards marshal their forces against the returned Voldemort without him; while at Hogwarts, he is shunned by Dumbledore, banned from Quidditch, and--thanks to slanted newspaper reports--regarded as generally unreliable. Despite a flimsy plot, the book--the best since Azkaban--features a wealth of humor and detail, plus some sharp social satire.
