A Handwritten Plot Outline J.K. Rowling Made While Writing ‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’

Outline

While writing Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, author J.K. Rowling created a handwritten outline to help track plot points across the timeline of the story. The book, which is the longest in the Harry Potter series and was first published in 2003, follows Harry’s fifth year at Hogwarts as he navigates exams, the return of villain Voldemort, romance, a controlling Ministry of Magic, and the secret society the Order of the Phoenix. Rowling’s outline of chapters 13-24 provides a fascinating glimpse into her writing process and the development of each plot point.
