        <description><![CDATA[A thestral is a horse-like creature. They are very thin. They pull the carriages at Hogwarts. Thestrals are only visible to people who have seen death which is why Harry, Luna and Neville can see them. Harry had witnessed Cedric's death, Luna had witnessed her mum's death and Neville had witnessed his grandad's death.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I agree with you.  In books like Harry Potter, there are always going to be parts left out.  If they put in every single event and happening, we'd have to pack dinner and probably breakfast for the next morning we'd be in the theatre for so long.  Even though we think these parts are important in the book (and they usually are since J.K.Rowling rarely if ever puts in superfluous details), something has got to hit the cutting room floor or...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Uh... probably b/c this is like the most important book in the series ever!!! Harry finds out he is the Chosen One and flips out like any teenager would. Serius Dies! (so sad) Voldemort has shown himself to the public, him being called a liar for half the year might have stirred him up a bit too. But really it mostly that he realized that either he or Voldemort has to die.  The weight of not only the wizard world but the muggle world as well....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This is really more simpler than you make it to be.  Harry is always loyal, Simple.  Hermione is loyal to those who are loyal to her.  Ron basically always follows Harry.  Draco is loyal to himself. Voldemort it loyal to no one, not even himself. Dumbledore, like Harry is always loyal.  Neville is not a lenient as Harry and Dumbledore.  The rest of the characters are vagely important as those listed.  everyone is as their character is. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Harry is more aware of what he is facing and what he is losing.  This is the first time that Harry went for a whole summer with no contact from the wizarding world.  Harry finally found a parental figure in Sirius, and that made him happy.  In this book all of his  happiness is being taken from him.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[A thestral is the invilible pullers of the carriages that carry Hogwart's students to the castle.  We find out in The Order of the Phoenix that they can be seen by those who have witnessed death.  That is why Harry, Neville, and Luna can see them.  They also provide transportation to the ministry for Harry and the gang in their attempt to save Sirius and the prophecy.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[A thestral is a winged horse like creature. One can only see these creatures if they have witnessed death.  They fly and are used to pull the horseless carriages to Hogwarts each year.  They are invisible to all who have not been seen someone die.  Harry and Luna both can see them as they have both seen someone die.  Luna saw her mother and Harry saw Cedric.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[A thestral is a horse-like creature with white eyes, wings and
leathery skins. They have a very thin, skeletal appearance, but one
of the most interesting things about thestrals is that they are the
creatures who pull the horseless carriages to and from Hogwarts
from Hogsmeade and the beginning of the year.&nbsp; Perhaps the
most interesting thing about the thestrals is that they are only
visable to people who have witnessed death.&nbsp; Harry...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There are many specific moments, as well, where loyalty plays an important role:

Arabella Figg is loyal to Dumbledore, and thus keeps an eye on Harry, even though it is the job of Mundungus Fletcher.  Fletcher, who does not know loyalty, leaves his post, causing Harry to get attacked.  Without Mrs. Figg, Harry would have no witnesses to the Dementor attack and would have been expelled.

Kreacher, the Black house elf, is another example of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Loyalty is a theme threaded throughout all of the Potter novels, both at Hogwarts and beyond. Dumbledore commands and receives absolute loyalty from his followers. The members of the Order of the Phoenix have pledged their absolute dedication to Dumbledore, and, despite the protests of the Ministry of Magic and much of the Wizarding world, their loyalty holds firm, and they believe, without question, what Dumbledore tells them about the return...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Harry is affected more by events in this book than in any of the previous novels because he faces more disastrous circumstances in this book than in any of the other novels, and considering the circumstances of The Goblet of Fire, that is saying a lot.  To begin with, he suffers a dementor attack in the Muggle world only to be charged and threatened with prison; he is tortured over and over with nightmares sent by Voldemort.  Perhaps the worst...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Aside from the main settings of Hogwarts and the United Kingdom, there are several sub-settings that play a major part in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, the home of the Dursleys, is a place of never ending torture for Harry.  New settings are introduced in this book including Twelve Grimmauld Place, the former home of Sirius Black’s family.  It is a place filled with dark magical items, but it is...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I'm assuming by "subsettings" you are referring to more minor settings, and not just England, or Hogwarts.  Order of the Phoenix takes place primarily in the house of Sirius Black and in the Halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.  However, there are some smaller, less oft visited setting that are certainly worth mentioning.  For example, in the very beginning of the novel Harry and his cousin are in a park where they meet the...]]></description>
