Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Book 5, Deluxe Edition)

Plot

The book itself includes full-color printed endpapers, foil title on the spine, and pages with deckled edges - and it slides into a full-color slipcase with matte lamination and foil stamping on the spine. As Harry enters his fifth year at wizard school, it seems the bonds 'of friendship and trust' have never been more sorely tested. Lord Voldemort's rise has opened a rift in the wizarding world between those who believe the truth about his return, and those who prefer to believe it's all madness and lies - just more trouble from Harry Potter. Add this to a host of other worries for Harry. A Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like poisoned honey. A venomous, disgruntled house-elf. Ron as keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch team And of course, what every student dreads - end-of-term Ordinary Wizarding Level exams, and you'd know what Harry faces during the day. But at night it's even worse, because then he dreams of a single door in a silent corridor. And this door is somehow more terrifying than every other nightmare combined. Harry Potter confronts the unreliability of the very government of the magical world, and the impotence of the authorities at Hogwarts. Despite this (or perhaps because of it) Harry finds depth and strength in his friends, beyond what even he knew; boundless loyalty and unbearable sacrifice.
