Review: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

1st re-read:
This book is much darker, much more mature than the first 4 books. Gotta say it's my least favourite so far. It's more of a 4/5 star tbh but it's Harry Potter and the wizarding world and I must give it a 5/5 because I love it so much. This book bridges the gap to the next 2 books. Harry is much more naggy, self-centered and teenager like in this book. We learn a lot more about the adult characters in this book which is super interesting, some new characters.

I have some big questions though:
- if Harry stays with Aunt Petunia during the summer because it's the blood that protects him how was he safe when he went to the Weasley's burrow, or even when he got lost near Diagon Alley in the book? Those would have been good moments for Voldemort to attack him.
- if the prophecy states that the person that has the power to end Voldemort is born within a certain month why didn't Voldemort just try and kill all possibilities including the mentioned Neville? Did Dumbledore put a protection curse on Neville's parents as well just in case? Why didn't the death eaters attack Harry instead of Voldemort?
- it was a bit far fetched for Dumbledore to keep Harry that out of the loop of everything and to tell him nothing, especially when Snape stopped teaching him occlumency, Dumbledore really should have made influence to Harry at that point.
