What Am I reading? Harry Potter and the Order Of Phoenix (Book 5)

Over the past week or so I have been reading the Order of the Phoenix, the 5th book in the well-known Harry Potter series. I love these books so much and this is probably the fourth time I am reading this book. It is about Harry Potter , the protagonist, who as you probably know, was the only person ever to be able to resist Lord Voldemort's killing.
Nobody knows why (until you read the seventh book!)
So far, Harry has had to go to a courtcase in the Ministry of Magic, because he displayed magic in front of his muggle (non - magic) cousin, when trying to defeat the dementors, horrible soul - sucking, things.

He has got to know his new defence against the dark arts teacher, Proffesor Umbridge, very well, due to the fact that he has already managed to get into dentention with her for two weeks!
She works for the Ministry of Magic, who are against Harry's headmaster, Dumbledore, due to the fact that they are afraid of admitting that Voldemort is back.

Harry is experiencing various strange dreams where he is 'part' of Voldemort, he is finding that he can read Voldemort's moods, and know when he is happy or very angry.

In one of his dreams, he is a snake biting Harry's best friend's father. He then wakes up suddenly and warns the family. It turns out to be true and he saves him. Now, as this is where I am in the book, he is in St. Mungo's Hospital, which is the magical hospital.

A new word is Expelliarmus. It is the spell that makes the other person's wand fall out of their hand. This is very usefully in a duel when the other is about to stun you or even worse.

I love this book so much, and if you haven't read it, then you had better!
