Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
There is a door at the end of a silent corridor, and it's haunting Harry Potter's dreams... he keeps waking in the night, screaming in terror. Harry has a lot on his mind for this, his fifth year at Hogwarts: a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like poisoned honey; a big surprise on the Gryffindor Quidditch team; and the looming terror of the Ordinary Wizarding Level exams. But all these things pale next to the growing threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named — a threat that neither the magical government nor the authorities at Hogwarts can stop.
As the grasp of darkness tightens, Harry must discover the true depth and strength of his friends, the importance of boundless loyalty, and the shocking price of unbearable sacrifice. His fate depends on them all.

Harry Potter thinks he is an ordinary boy. He lives with his Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and his cousin Dudley, who make him sleep in a cupboard under the stairs. Then Harry starts receiving mysterious letters and his life is changed forever. He is whisked away by a giant and enrolled in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The reason: Harry Potter is a wizard!
At Hogwarts, Harry receives training in magic, masters riding a broomstick, and discovers his incredible talent for the wizard sport of Quidditch. And for the first time in his life, Harry has friends who care about him: his fellow students Hermione and Ron and a giant named Hagrid. But all is not rosy when Harry discovers his true destiny and finds he must face the evil one who killed his parents. His survival will depend upon the help of his newfound friends, as well as his own wit and powers.
