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 frequently trying to make it difficult for him to be comfortable because of his claim about Voldemort’s return. Furthermore, he is constantly made to relive his worst memories with constant reminders of 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.

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.
