Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix
4/4 stars

The best Harry Potter film yet. It's got everything that makes Harry Potter great. Thrilling action, romance, emotional depth, and great acting. Imelda plays Umbridge masterfully and as expected the cast of British greats including the young ones give good performances. Order of the Phoenix was almost my least favorite book of the series because it was so slow and plodding, but the movie is fast-paced and actually the shortest Harry Potter film yet. David Yates should be commended for taking one of the worse books in the series and making the best film out of it. I can't wait to see what he does with better material in Half-Blood Prince.
