Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

The way the Order is woven into the story added a new layer of complexity and camaraderie. I wonder what inspired the choice to focus on this secret society at this point.

Harry's feelings of frustration and loneliness really resonated with me, but I also wondered if that was intentional to build empathy for him. How did others interpret his reactions?

The political backdrop added a darker tone to the story. I’m curious whether Rowling based this on real-world events or used it purely as a fictional critique.
