“Tirelessly inventive... Rowling has imagined this universe in such minute and clever detail that we feel we’ve been admitted to a looking glass world as palpable as Tolkien’s Middle Earth or L. Frank Baum’s Oz” — Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"The tone is darker, and this has the unexpected — but very pleasing —effect of making Rowling's wit and playful black humor shine through" — Stephen King, bestselling American horror novelist
"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is an angry book, a lamentation and a thanatopsis, a 'Song of Roland' and an 'Epic of Gilgamesh'" — John Leonard, The New York Times
"Go read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for the other main reason to love the series: their sheer comic exuberance even in the midst of high drama" — Elizabeth Ward, The Washington Post
