"Suffice it to say that Rowling's catalectic narrative system, bristling anew with proto-Oedipal exigencies, scans as an atavistic mythopoeia in which primal signs suggest a Kantian critique of technocratic reason . . . Ha! Havin' you on! Don't buy it! It fellates! Or does it? Defending itself against the dog-pissing of naysayers with a concrete-pyloned electric fence of unshakable adolescent and pre-adolescent ardor, the HP saga is beyond critique, positive or otherwise. Evaluating Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix as if it were merely a regular book would not be unlike questioning, simultaneously, the humanity of the Psalms and the efficacy of Legos."

The Village Voice reviews Order of the Phoenix. Minor spoilers for the first bits of the book:
