April 10th happens to be a Saturday, and the fifth Harry Potter series is officially released!
Morning.
Continents of Blue Star.
Readers whose expectations were almost going through the roof rushed into bookstores to buy the newly released "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"!
To this.
All major booksellers are extremely excited.
“Tsk tsk.”
“It’s thriving.”
"This series is really getting more popular than the previous one."
"The ending of the first volume was so scary. Chu Kuang suddenly killed Cedric off. I thought it would affect the sales of the fifth volume."
"You worry too much."
"Cedric isn't a key character after all."
"Chu Kuang is really smart. He knows that although his death of Cedric will make readers sad, this plot also highlights the cruelty of the battle between Harry Potter and Voldemort. Cedric, who was involved in the battle and died innocently, fulfilled the readers' deepest hatred for Voldemort."
"Readers will not abandon the book because of this, but will look forward to the subsequent content even more."
"Everyone is looking forward to this one. Harry Potter will be able to kill Voldemort and avenge the countless lives that Voldemort has harmed."
"yes."
"Just look at the sales and you'll know that it was a wise decision for Chu Kuang to kill Cedric."
…
The Harry Potter series is so popular.
There are also many readers of this book among the major booksellers on Blue Star.
For example, the owner of Norton Books in Zhongzhou.
Pullman.
Pullman never thought that at his age, he would fall in love with a children's literature.
Just beginning.
He just wanted to take a quick look at the best-selling work in his bookstore because of work needs.
As a result, I just watched the first part and couldn't stop.
Part 2!
Part 3!
Part 4!
Every time the bookstore gets new stock, Pullman will be the first to
This morning was no exception. Pullman just observed the sales situation and found that customers who came to buy the fifth book in the series, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", seemed to be more enthusiastic than the fourth book. He then picked up a book from the shelf with great interest and opened the bookstore in his office.
…
He witnessed Voldemort's resurrection and watched helplessly as Cedric died in front of him, unable to do anything.
Harry woke up from nightmares countless times.
This was probably the longest and loneliest summer vacation in his life.
In that so-called "home".
His aunt and uncle still ordered him around like a bug;
His cousin Dudley used him as a punching bag to practice boxing when he had nothing to do;
There were even two Dementors that lived on sucking souls and escaped from the control of the Ministry of Magic and came to Privet Drive to ambush Harry.
Dudley was attacked by Dementors as a result.
Fortunately, the brave Harry used the Patronus Charm to drive away the Dementors.
Who knew that the Ministry of Magic would use the Dementor incident to frame Harry for using magic outside of school and violating the rules of the wizarding world
The Ministry of Magic has always prohibited minors from abusing magic outside of school.
This day.
Harry arrives at the Ministry of Magic for trial.
Hogwarts Headmaster Dumbledore testified for Harry and finally helped him get rid of the charges.
Poor Harry, after experiencing a series of misfortunes during this long summer vacation, finally school started.
This is Harry Potter's fifth year of study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
but.
The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.
The Minister of Magic seemed very dissatisfied with Hogwarts and sent Deputy Minister Umbridge to become the new teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at the academy this year.
In the words of Umbridge:
She was here on behalf of the Ministry of Magic to rectify the "bad atmosphere" in Hogwarts.
In the first class of the school term, Harry got into a conflict with her because he couldn't control himself, and was eventually punished by being put in detention.
…
During reading.
Pullman's brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.
But most of the time, his expression seemed a little solemn.
Depressed.
dark.
The content of the fifth Harry Potter series has always been in an atmosphere of "storm is coming" from the very beginning.
The plot is still exciting.
Just not so cheerful anymore.
Pullman even reads out some metaphors from the adult world.
For example, the reason why the Minister of Magic and the Deputy Minister targeted Harry was because he announced the news that "Voldemort has resurrected."
Out of fear, the entire wizarding community denies this fact.
Minister of Magic Fudge believes that the respected headmaster Dumbledore wants to use Voldemort's resurrection to undermine his authority and replace him. He sends Deputy Minister of Magic Umbridge to Hogwarts as a teacher, with the intention of monitoring the school's every move!
This is the intersection of power and desire.
This is the selfishness and ducai of the boss of the Ministry of Magic.
Chu Kuang added some ideas that are not so compatible with the children's literature genre.
Just to maintain his own authority, the Minister of Magic even ignored Voldemort's frequent attacks on the wizarding world and Muggles, and disregarded the safety of the world!
Too much criticism!
Harry Potter learns of the existence of the Order of the Phoenix.
This is an organization created by Dumbledore to fight against Voldemort. Harry Potter's parents were important members of this organization during their lifetime.
at this time.
Harry Potter longed for the comfort and help of his old headmaster Dumbledore.
Yet for some reason, Dumbledore seemed unwilling to see him.
The affable headmaster would even avoid Harry's eyes.
This made Harry even more uneasy.
Fortunately, the plot is not all depressing and dark.
Maybe it can be considered as some kind of spice for the plot
The emotional line between Harry and Qiu made a breakthrough for the first time, and the two began to fall in love.
Although this process is full of the sourness of first love.
For example, Qiu is a typical little woman who needs someone to coax her and accompany her.
But Harry Potter is a wooden lump who doesn't understand romance and even dates end in a bad mood.
"Growth?"
Pullman pondered.
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Harry Potter faces the dilemma of growing up during the split period of adolescence.
The beautiful ideals in my heart and my yearning for a better life disappeared due to various sudden changes.
Harry Potter's innocent, trusting and dependent child mentality had to be transformed into an adult mentality in a short period of time!
He must rely on his own judgment to deal with the complex problems he faces!
This caused him to feel tremendous pressure and he was about to collapse!
But Harry Potter did not collapse.
After all, there are still people in the school who are willing to believe in Harry Potter.
Chapter 18.
This group, led by Harry Potter, formed the "Dumbledore's Army" behind Umbridge's back!
Obviously.
Harry Potter is imitating the model of "Order of the Phoenix". He wants to gather the strength of his classmates to fight against Voldemort!
… valley
Seeing this, it’s already noon.
The assistant ordered a takeout burger for Pullman.
Pullman continued to watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix while eating his burger.
The intention is sublimated!
The connotation is more profound!
The world view is more grand!
This is Pullman’s assessment of the first eighteen chapters.
From being suspected by students to forming Dumbledore's Army and becoming its leader.
The growth of the protagonist is presented through the impact of various encounters on Harry Potter, the various metaphors of the adult world in this film, and the setting of crisis and suspense, which makes him deeply fascinated!
Perhaps this is why, although the Harry Potter series is promoted and sold as children's literature, many adults like Pullman are still so fascinated by it!
Yes.
This one has a lot of suspense.
The story always revolves around two ultimate suspense.
The first suspense is why Harry and Dudley were attacked by Dementors in Little Whinging;
The second suspense is that Harry saw a door at the end of the corridor many times in his hallucinations. That was his nightmare.
Because of the scar on his head, Harry had some connection with Voldemort's thoughts.
It was in a dream.
Harry witnessed Ron's father Arthur being bitten by a snake and issued a warning in time, thus successfully saving Arthur's life.
And during Pullman's afternoon reading.
There is a twist in the story.
Due to the betrayal of members of Dumbledore's Army, Umbridge eventually discovered that Harry was teaching everyone Defense Against the Dark Arts without her knowledge.
Everyone managed to escape by tumbling and crawling.
In the end, only Harry was caught because he was left behind.
The person who informed on her was actually Qiula’s good friend who came to join Dumbledore’s Army!
Dumbledore endured all of this on behalf of Harry, and was expelled from Hogwarts by the Ministry of Magic, finding an excuse.
So far.
Two mysteries were slowly revealed.
It turns out that the Dementors' attack on Harry Potter was a conspiracy by the Ministry of Magic;
As for the suspense of Harry Potter's nightmare, it is because Voldemort has always wanted to obtain the prophecy ball that hides his future destiny. To this end, he invaded Harry's mind and learned that Sirius was the most important person in his life. He then used a false appearance to trick Harry into the Ministry of Magic!
The melee at the Ministry of Magic begins!
However, what Voldemort could not imagine was:
Although the members of Dumbledore's Army were all half-grown children, they fought against his Death Eaters on equal terms until members of the Order of the Phoenix came to reinforce!
Chu Kuang’s ability to present words is so strong!
Pullman was very enjoyable to watch throughout the process!
Especially when the Order of the Phoenix descended from the sky to help this group of little Dumbledore's Army suppress the Death Eaters, every cell in Pullman's body relaxed!
It was already evening.
Countless readers from all continents of Blue Star who bought "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" saw this passage and became extremely excited!
Because the plot has been suppressed for too long!
Everyone is so eager to win this battle!
also.
The plot is finally no longer a one-on-one fight between Harry Potter and Voldemort!
You have to know that in the previous films, Harry Potter basically fought against Voldemort alone, and everyone also wanted to see different battle scenes.
Now he is here!
Under the leadership of Dumbledore, members of the Order of the Phoenix started this wizard war in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic!
In the war.
Sirius Black, as Harry Potter's godfather and a member of the Order of the Phoenix, appeared in the battle and relied on his powerful strength to protect Harry Potter from harm!
"Well done, Sirius!"
Pullman actually let out a rare cheer like a child!
Although Pullman gave high praise to the plot of the protagonist's growth, he was also made uncomfortable by the previous depressing plot and was eager for this final outbreak!
Besides…
Who wouldn't like Sirius, the only relative Harry Potter has left
In the dark.
Sirius is the one who always accompanies Harry!
This godfather’s guidance and help to Harry is even no less than Dumbledore’s!
However.
Just as Pullman's cheers were about to stop, his breathing suddenly paused, and the tail end of the voice came to an abrupt end in the office!
That moment.
There was an intense sadness in Pullman's eyes, as if the air around him had suddenly become colder!
Even colder is Chu Kuang’s words!
Sirius was hit by the magic of his cousin, the Death Eater Bellatrix!
Sirius fell down.
It seemed like it took a long time for Sirius to fall.
His body curled into a graceful arch as he fell backward through the rough drapery of the archway.
Harry saw a look of fear and surprise on Sirius's worn, once-handsome face as he dropped down the ancient corridor and disappeared behind a curtain.
The curtain fluttered for a while as if a gust of wind blew by, and then returned to calm.
Harry heard Bellatrix's shout of victory, but knew it meant nothing:
Sirius simply fell down the corridor and would emerge from the other side at any moment.
But Sirius did not appear.
"Sirius!"
"Sirius!"
Harry's breath grew hot. Sirius must be behind the curtain. He could pull him out!
However.
As Harry rushed towards the stage, Lupin hugged Harry and pulled him back.
"There's nothing you can do, Harry—"
"Help him, save him, he's just behind the curtain!"
"It's too late, Harry."
"We can still catch him!"
Harry struggled desperately, but Lupin would not let go: "There's nothing you can do, Harry, nothing is of any use.
He’s gone.”
Sirius Black;
Harry Potter's godfather;
The Prisoner of Azkaban;
This member of the Order of the Phoenix who came down from the sky to protect Harry and to fight against the evil Voldemort died under the magic of his cousin and in this brutal melee.
The pupils are constricting.
He started turning the pages quickly!
He is expecting a miracle!
He hoped that Sirius would roar like Harry Potter in grief: "He - is - not - dead!"
The miracle did not happen after all.
Just like Harry's sudden realization.
Because Sirius had never made Harry wait like this before.
In order to see Harry and to help Harry, Sirius was always willing to take any risk.
If Sirius didn't come out from behind the curtain behind that archway when Harry was screaming his name so hard, the only reasonable explanation was that he wasn't coming.
He really can't come back.
Pullman could only admit this desperate fact:
Harry Potter's only relative, the man who took care of him like a father, died in the war between Harry and Voldemort, just like Cedric did.
This moment.
Pullman's eyes were misty and slightly red with two lines of wet tears. This was one of his favorite characters in the book.
It's the same moment.
All the readers in the blue planet who had their hands on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix were devastated when they saw this part of the plot!
