Harry Potter: Order of the Phopenix
ORIENTATION (Pengenalan)	I absolutely love the Harry Potter series, and all of the books will always hold a special place in my heart.
EVALUATION 1 (Penilaian)	I have to say that all of the books, however, this was not my favorite.
EVALUATION 2 (Penilaian)	When the series began it was as much of  a “feel good” experience as a huge mug of hot cocoa. The stories were bright, fast-paced, intriguing, and ultimately satisfying.
INTERPRETATIVE RECOUNT (Tafsiran)	Order of the Phoenix is different kind of book. In some instance this works…you feel a whole new level of intensity and excitement by the time you get to the end. I was truly moved by the last page. Other times the book just has a slightly dreary, depressing feel. The galloping pace of the other books has slowed to a trot here, and parts of it do seem long, as if we were reading all about Harry cleaning up an old house, for example-housekeeping is still housekeeping, magical or no, and I’m not very interested in doing it or reading about other people doing it.
EVALUATIVE SUMMATION (Rangkuman)	A few other changes in this book-the “real” world comes much more in to play rather the fantasy universe of the previous books, and Harry has apparently been taken off his meds. I know that he had a lot to be grumpy in this book, especially with being a teenager and all, but the sudden change in his character seemed too drastic. He goes from being a warm-hearted, considerate person to someone who will bite his best frend’s heads off over nothing. It just seemed like it didn’t fit with his character, like he turned into a walking clich of the “angry teen” overnight.      The “real” story seemed to happen in the last 1/3 of the book, and this part I loved. I actually liked the ending (and yes, I cried!) as sad as it was. It packed a punch and it made me care about the story event more. Still a really good book, with some editing it would have been great.

MORE DISASTERS ARE LIKELY TO FOLLOW
GENERAL STATEMENT	The fourth week of November this year has seen more intense rainfall across the archipelago, meaning that annual natural disasters are waiting. Everyone, especially the central as well as regional governments are reminded to be watchful.
STEPPED EXPLANATION	The first and significant catastrophe occurred when a Lion Air passenger jet skidded off a slippery runaway in a heavy rain and slammed into a cemetery at the Surakarta Adisumarmo airport on November 30.      The normal natural disasters such as flooding and landslides have also begun taking place. Hundreds of residents of Pekanbaru (Riau province) had to abandon their homes on November 29 after floodwaters rose to a height of one meter in several parts of the city. In Dairi regency, North Sumatra, a landslide took the life of one person and a number of houses were damaged in a landslide in Jember regency, East Java (The Jakarta Post, Nov. 30)      The Lion Air plane crash could have been averted if the pilot had, in consultation with officials in the airport tower, made decision to land at another nearby airport, for instance in Jogjakarta, when he saw the heavy rain had made it impossible to land. This tragedy should serve as a bitter lesson for other pilots to be more careful during the rainy season.      As for  the flooding and landslides, we might remember the November 2 flash flood that hit the North Sumatra resort of Langkat, killing over 100 people and leaving hundreds more missing. The root caused of these disasters is known to all, i.e. environmental damage especially as a result of illegal logging.      The administration of the President Susilo Bambang yudoyono has vowed to use his first days in office to crack down on illegal loggers as well as corrupt officials.      In the meantime, this year’s rainy season has just started and there are at least three more months to come. Heavy downpours must be anticipated in disaster-prone areas, including in Jakarta. All officials must be on full alert to prevent any catastrophes; otherwise the ordinary people will be left to suffer even more.
