Book Pyre

Currently my favorite Potter book. Harry takes a major moody turn (and frankly given his age and what has been happening to him, he deserves to), an organization has formed to help fight Lord V but most of the world does not believe he has returned. It is of course in the government’s best interest to deny this, because it is supposed to be their job to protect against. As a result they (through the media) are actively encouraging the belief that Harry is delusional, attention seeking, lying, or all three.

This, combined with the fact that it is no longer Harry and a couple of friends against evil, but a group of adults running the Order, puts Harry into a more passive role regarding his fate. He does not react well to all of this, and it almost leads to his downfall. Again, the story is intense, the plot is gripping, and the story arc is advancing at an alarming rate.
