Harry Potter (5) and the Order of the Phoenix

Corruption and ineptitude in the government is one of the main themes in this book, along with the power of the media to influence the masses. J.K. Rowling disguises a harsh education about the real world as a children's book quite well. Many new characters are introduced, we learn more about familiar ones, and main characters shine in their own peculiar ways. She's had a lot of time to work on this one, and it's got a lot of pages, but they turn easily as her dry humor lightens even the heaviest of topics.
