The main topic of The Order of The Phoenix is a rather political one. Indeed, in this volume of Harry Potter’s adventures the Ministry of Magic falls into the hands of an authoritarian direction and sends its henchwoman to take the school institution in order to control the truth about the return of the Dark lord. Moreover this volume also deals with legal instances and trials, repression, control of the press, violence. One can wonder if mixing political pamphlet and fantasy teen fiction can work together and be a success among its supposed teen target.
