However, when Umbridge takes control of the entire school and tries to manage the school according to her whims, they are driven strongly with the need to retaliate boldly and therefore end up permanently closing their opportunity to ever enter Hogwarts as students. They have wanted to build a joke shop instead of completing their schooling, but constant reminders from their mother about how education is important makes it difficult for them to follow their passion.
The Weasley brothers too undergo a very complicated struggle to come to terms with their passion and interests. However, as Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione meet him there with his parents, he has to accept the consequences and eventually accept for his own sake that it’s alright for his friends to know of his parents’ plight. He even faces her bravely at the Department of Mysteries and doesn’t hesitate to fight the death eaters when they threaten the well-being of his friends.Īnother struggle that Neville faces difficulty in coming to terms with, is that of letting his friends know that his parents are permanent residents of the St Mungo’s Hospital and that they were tortured by some death eaters with the Cruciatus Curse. Primarily, he has been treated like a meek boy with no talent all his life, but when he realizes that the woman who tortured his parents has escaped Azkaban prison, he decides to become braver and try to learn as much magic as possible. Neville Longbottom too has a lot of struggles to face and eventually comes to terms with all of them. He somehow makes sense of his world and eventually figures out life, at least by the end of the series, if not in this book. Constantly a subject of his brothers’ jokes and growing under his overperforming elder brother’s shadows, he is in constant turmoil, trying to lead the way despite these difficulties. Ron too is not devoid of these complications. Furthermore, she is also actively convincing Harry to lead them all into a proper training routine in the Defense Against the Dark Arts, something the interference of the Ministry has completely changed for them. She creates her own organization called S.P.E.W after which she engages quite frequently in making house-elf rights a reality.
She is shocked to know how house-elves are treated by wizards and is very adamant about making changes for the better. Hermione herself undergoes an interesting change after the Quidditch World Cup in the previous book. However, despite his frustrations and complicated bouts of anger and sorrow resulting from both his own self and his connection with Voldemort, Harry triumphs and doesn’t let himself be lost to Voldemort’s cause when the latter tries to possess him. His struggle is still complicated when one of his most important mentors and father figures, Albus Dumbledore decides to stop talking to him entirely. The Ministry of Magic is also trying to frequently make it difficult for him to comfortable, because of his claim about Voldemort’s return. Furthermore, he is constantly made to relive his worst memories with constant reminders in his surroundings and frequent interactions with strange magical creatures like dementors and thestrals. He is strangely connected to Voldemort, his mortal enemy, in his mind and can sometimes access random memories, experiences, and feelings of Voldemort. In Harry’s case, this struggle is the most complicated one. The struggle of the self is but the constant molding of one’s own identity based on response to their own innate thoughts and the occurrences in their surroundings. The Struggle of the Self is one of the most essential elements that make this book stand out from its predecessors. This includes the story arc of the prophecy and Harry’s endless connection with Voldemort, Neville’s sudden emergence of bravery and acceptance of his parents’ plight, and the Weasley Twins’ development from just the mischievous and playful duo, to fully developed ingenious inventors and entrepreneurs.
#Harry potter and the order of the phoenix series#
It is very interesting to see several characters in the book series get strong development, especially in this book. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the pinnacle of multiple plots coming together to converge into a singular and decently satisfactory climax.
