You’d be surprised that the latest installment of Harry Potter septology (I didn’t even know that this term existed) can be seen as a mockery to the education system. Can it be that JK Rowling is more than an author?
Through the order of the phoenix we can see that the education system is so fragile that the Ministry of Magic can infiltrate Hogwarts by putting Dolores Umbridge (secretary to the Ministry) as one of the teachers - and yes it’s the scapegoat position - as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Later on she became the Inquisitor and then even replaced Dumbledore as the headmaster.
Great.
On a lighter note, though, the younger audience can learn that people don’t like different people. Let’s hope they can cope with this fact, and not discriminate anyone just because they are of different look or opinion.
It’s a pity that Cho Chang’s character was not strong at all, and the kiss between her and Harry was the only interesting development in Harry’s personal life. Yet, Luna Lovegood’s character was great. I love this “looney” girl.
Another pity. Sirius’s death was not dramatic at all. I still remember when I read the novel a couple years ago, I was quite shocked.
Oh well. I’m still a big fan of Harry Potter!
