推荐关于哈利波特5For those who praise Order of the Phoenix as their favourite book, there is bound to some disappointment. Lots of stuff from the book is cut and there are a lot of new scenes that may surprise people who know the book back to front. However, many people, including myself, believe Order of the Phoenix to be the weakest in the series, and for me this movie did an excellent job of telling the story in a very exciting way that wasn't at all weak.

The acting was extremely good this time around. Imelda Staunton was better as Umbridge than I could have ever expected. She proved that performance is much more important than appearance. Evanna Lynch also shines as Luna Lovegood. Jo Rowling was right; she is perfect for the role! Another important performance to mention is that of Michael Gambon. Although I absolutely hated his version of Dumbledore in Goblet of Fire, fans will be pleased to hear that this time around, he almost completely redeems himself! Dumbledore once again seems like Dumbledore. What a relief! I've talked about the acting of the newcomers (and Gambon), but I think the one performance that truly made this film a success was that of Daniel Radcliffe. He was actually believable in this film and really nailed the emotional journey that Harry goes through in this much darker story. There are a few scenes during the climax of the film where I actually got goose bumps just from the look on his face. Also, his relationship with his godfather Sirius was so well established and made for some truly beautiful scenes.

Although the material is certainly trimmed down (and lots of new things are added!), the main story is there and told in a way that doesn't completely destroy it, unlike Goblet of Fire. Although I think there are a few loose ends that were explained better in the book, I believe the story is much easier to follow. My dad, who hasn't read the books, says this is the first one since the first movie where he actually knew what was going on.

Overall, it was a beautiful movie, a satisfactory adaptation, and certainly a big achievement for the film makers. From the thrilling opening to the awe inspiring finale, this film is sure to keep audiences entertained and generally moved.

Book Summary

Book five takes the series to a darker, more serious level, as we see Harry's attitude and feelings change dramatically as J.K. Rowling takes us deeper and deeper into the fight between good and evil. Normally safe at the Dursley's, Harry suffers an almost fatal dementor attack before being taken to the secret headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, a special group of wizards united in their efforts to defeat Voldemort and his followers. At the headquarters, Harry runs into Kreacher, a vile, horrible house elf and also Sirius' mother, who never misses an oppurtunity to scream the house down. Our hero returns to Hogwarts, where things begin to get ever more perilous as he encouters terrifying dreams, a teacher with an attitude like venom and corruption of the highest level and all the time, Harry still can't find out what exactly lies in the Department of Mysteries.

Even more exciting things happen in Harry's fifth year, including a large revelation from Hagrid, and a new subject teacher that tries to land on his four feet (no pun intended!). Harry has to partake in deadly detentions, secret meetings with fellow students and he gets banned from one of the things he loves the most. But it's not all gloom and doom! Fred and George give us a spectacular array of laughs gasps, Ron achieves something he's been wanting to for ages, we find out once and for all what pulls the Hogwarts carriages and Harry gets his first moment of love! We see several new characters, some we hate, some we love and some we suspect. We go to new magical places, see new magical spells and see what it is like to sit Hogwarts OWL tests.

Harry's life becomes ever more perilous as the book goes on, when he finds himself in the Ministry of Magic under direct threat from some of the most feared creatures in the magical world: Voldemort's death eaters. In a showing of bravery, skill and courage, our hero and his friends fight and fight and Harry comes face to face with an extremely dangerous death eater. And if you want to know more, read the book. It's filled with tragedy, happiness, suspense and creativity and should not be missed by any Harry Potter fan.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was awaited by millions of fans for three years. When it hit shelves, it created a worldwide phenomenom and shattered previous pre-order records. Hundreds of thousands of people queued outside book stores on June 20th, 2003 until the clock struck midnight, so that they would be the first to purchase the book they'd been waiting for. It's obvious from the reviews and sales figures that book five is also an exception.

Answer 2

Harry Potter is the name of a popular series of fantasy novels by British writer J. K. Rowling. Six of seven planned books have been published to date, not including the two school books, Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. These two are supposed to be two of the school books in the seven original books. The books depict a world of witches and wizards, the main character being a young wizard named Harry Potter. The first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (retitled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the United States), was released in 1997. The first four books have been made into films, and the fifth movie has begun filming (February 2006), with an expected release in 2007.

As of 2005, Rowling has written the last chapter of the seventh book. Rowling has also mentioned that the last word of the book would be "scar," which remains to be seen. However, she is unsure whether that will be in the final draft in the book, as she was asked about it in an interview conducted by fan sites Mugglenet and The Leaky Cauldron.

The Harry Potter books have achieved a profile unparalleled by any other series of books, with worldwide sales exceeding 300 million copies. They have been praised for encouraging children and indeed even adults to read, while also drawing criticism from some quarters. The books are published by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc (original; distributed in the UK and other Commonwealth countries except Canada), Scholastic Press (US edition; distributed in the United States) and Raincoast Books (original; distributed in Canada).

Publishing history
The books have fans of all ages. J. K. Rowling says she did not have any particular age group in mind when she started to write the Harry Potter books; her publishers, however, initially targeted them at young readers aged 8 to 15. The books have more recently been released in two editions, one with the original "children's" cover artwork, and one with artwork more consciously aimed at adult readers. Additionally, as the series has developed, Rowling's writing has become more sophisticated and the content of the books has matured as the lead character, Harry Potter, has grown older. For instance, relationships are discussed as an issue for the teenage characters in later books. Accordingly, the reading age for the books, both in terms of content and style, is rising as the series goes on.

Cover of the original novel in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.The first book was published in the United Kingdom by Bloomsbury, a fairly small independent publisher, in July 1997. Its initial success was based on some positive reviews and word of mouth. The first three books, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, all won the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize for the 9 to 11 age group. By the time the fourth book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, was published in 2000 the series had become very high-profile, and the launch received much wider publicity in the general media than was usual for a new book. At around the same time Warner Brothers began work on the series of films based on the books. The involvement of a global media conglomerate led to more concerted efforts to maximise the value of the Harry Potter franchise. The first film, based on the first book, was released in 2001, and was accompanied by video games and other branded merchandise.

The hype escalated with the publication of the next two books in the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, with midnight launch parties at hundreds of bookshops in the UK, simultaneous launch events around the English-speaking world, and intense media interest, leading to unprecedented first-day sales in the UK, US and elsewhere. The series is immensely popular around the world in its many translations. Such was the clamour to read the book around the world that the English-language edition of Order of the Phoenix became the first English-language book ever to top the bookseller list in France.

Cover of the United States edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, retitled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for release in the US.According to the author, the main character Harry Potter appeared in her head while she was on a train from Manchester to London in 1991. Her favourite place to write the first book was at an Edinburgh café table while drinking endless cups of coffee. Sales from the books as well as royalties from films and merchandise have made Rowling a billionaire and the 620th wealthiest person in the world [1]. Rowling is assumed to be richer than Queen Elizabeth II (see J.K. Rowling for an explanation).

Each book chronicles approximately one year in Harry's life at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he learns to use magic and brew potions. Harry also learns to overcome many obstacles — magical, social and emotional — as he struggles through his adolescence.

Rowling has announced that seven books are planned, each a little darker than its predecessor as Harry ages and his nemesis, Lord Voldemort, gains power. As of July 16 2005, six books have been published. The latest, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was published in its English-language version on 16 July 2005. Since the publication of book five, Rowling has revealed hints about the plot of future books on her personal website.

Content and writing style
The books are written in third person limited omniscient mode, with Harry as the central character. The books are generally written from Harry's point of view, with short exceptions in Philosopher's Stone, Goblet of Fire and Half-Blood Prince. The telling of the story through Harry Potter's perspective is perhaps one of the reasons that many readers feel so close with the character.

Rowling's main strengths as a writer include her ability to drive elaborate and largely seamless plots over a very wide canvas, the convincing internal logic of her fantasy world. However, while there is much moral subtlety in many scenes in the books, the central clash between good and evil is drawn in largely black-and-white terms. Nevertheless, as the series develops, several characters have faced a choice between doing what is right or what is easy (a central theme), and moral "shades of grey" have been presented. This is especially relevant to characters such as Dolores Umbridge, some Ministry of Magic employees and Severus Snape.

Rowling lets the ideas of racism, genocide, anti-establishment and prejudice find their way in; these are the trademark of Voldemort and his Death Eaters, but also occasionally shown in the relationship between wizards, the non-magical (or "Muggle") population, and magical creatures in the wizarding world who contain some prejudicial baggage, such as werewolves, house elves, giants and centaurs (branded 'half-breeds' by the more bigoted of the wizarding world).

The books have been compared to many well-known works, including C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia and J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. They also fit into a British genre of novels about boarding school life (such as Thomas Hughes's Tom Brown's Schooldays), and sections involving the Dursleys, Harry's relatives, are reminiscent of the works of Roald Dahl. Echoes of Charles Dickens, particularly in the naming of characters, and Douglas Adams have been pointed out by other readers. At root, Harry's origin story is a mythical archetype known around the world: the destined hero sent away as a baby for safekeeping and raised by common folk until he is of an age where he can be told who he really is and what he must do (a motif most famously epitomised in the myth of Oedipus). Readers who are unfamiliar with traditional cultural myths will still recognise the theme; it is the basis for Star Wars and Superman, among others.

Aspects of the Harry Potter series have even entered the real world, such as Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, which inspired an actual product of that name marketed by the Jelly Belly Company. The product, named "Bertie Bott's Beans", contains an assortment of twenty different kinds of jelly beans that have been developed to mimic flavours found in the assortment of similar name in the book series, including tooty-frooty, dirt, bubblegum, snot, grass, and the surprisingly realistic "vomit" flavour. Also, knitting patterns have been created for the Quidditch Sweater and Elf Socks.

After reading this book,I realized that death isn't something that you should fear.And we should never be afraid of the terrible things that we think we should fear of.
<Harry Potter> is a wonderful book.It also tells me love is endless.

Answer 3

The Characters

1) Voldemort: (a non-physical "dark magic" being who inhabits the bodies of various characters in the books. The pronunciation guide says of this being "He who must not be named."). “High-level witches believe that there are seven satanic princes and that the seventh, which is assigned to Christians, has no name. In coven meetings, he is called "the nameless one." (Pastor David J. Meyer.. an ex-witch). The Temple of the Presence even has a message from “The Nameless One from the Center of the Universe”.

2) Nicholas Flamel: (Dumbledore’s Partner in alchemy) In real life Flamel was a French alchemist (1330-1417), who claimed guidance from an angel who allegedly showed him a book that contained symbolic statements relating to alchemy. Alchemists through the centuries believe that he succeeded in making the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ and in doing so never died. Incidently the book Sorcerer’s Stone was originally called the The Philosophers Stone.

Hermione: (Harry’s best friend) was the daughter of Helen of Troy in Greek mythology.

Minerva McGonagall: (One of Harry’s teachers). Named after the Roman goddess of agriculture, spinning, weaving and needlework. {21}

Sirius Black: (Book III) turned out to be a wizard who could transform himself into a huge black dog. Sirius (the brightest star in the sky) is known in most mythologies as the “Dog Star”. Therefore Sirius Black literally means “Black Dog”. (See ‘The Grim’ above)

Draco Malfoy: (Harry’s nemesis). Draco, which means dragon is the ancient astrological term for the constellation that “used to hold special significance as the location of the pole star, but due to the earth’s precession, the pole has shifted to Polaris in Ursa-Minor. The Dragon is usually associated with guardians of the temples and treasures.” {24}

Albus Dumbledore, Rubeus Hagrid: (Hagrid’s first name appears in Book III, Page 93). Both names are taken from astrological geomancy which is a kind of divination. “Geomancy is any system of divination (an attempt to get in touch with the divine) related to manipulation of the earth. …It is similar to the casting of the lots refered to in the Latin and Greek classics… [G]eomancy is akin to horary astrology. Albus (white) is associated with “wisdom, clear thought, news and communication”. “Rubeus (red) is a negative symbol, the dark side of Scorpio and Mars, associated with danger, lust, addiction, passion, fire, aggression and destruction. . ”
