Order of the Phoenix isn't a bad film, but it's a transitional one - a bridge between the wonder-filled childlike first few films and the darker territory of the later films. It's well-made and well-acted, but the plot is sometimes slow-moving and the exposition needed to translate the book to screen gets tiresome at times. |

My least favorite of the books and also the films. It's not that either is bad, it's just that the story is the least interesting of them all. The film does a good job of covering the essential parts and leaving out the un-needed talky ones. The fact that it's the shortest film based on the second longest book does not hurt it at all. |

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix review |
|
Harry Potter's fifth year at Hogwarts and have negative image because of the rumors. The Ministry of Magic refuses to believe the return of Lord Voldemort. A newly appointed Defence Against the Dark Arts Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton), a senior Ministry official, teaches theories instead of practical magic. Harry, Hermione, Ron, Luna, Neville and Ginny fly to the Ministry of Magic to save Sirius Black. Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter) kills Sirius and is confronted by Harry. Dumbledor battles Voldemort and aids Harry. Some of my favorite lines: Harry – “Facing this stuff in real life is not like school.” “Working hard is important. But there is something that matters even more, believing in ourselves.” Snape – “Well, it may have escaped your notice, but life isn't fair... |

Cornelius, I implore you to see reason. |

Without a doubt, the most successful movie franchise of the Noughties are the adaptations of JK Rowlings Harry Potter books.
The boy wizard has now enthralled audiences for over a decade and even has his own theme park.
The films have significantly grown in stature over the years and Harry Potter, his friends and his enemies have grown up on screen. There has been little tinkering with the cast and formula and this has significantly helped to produce an entertaining and highly enjoyable series.
Order of the Phoenix may not have pleased everyone, large slices of the book were altered or simply left out but as a movie, Phoenix raises the bar. Not encumbered with too many special effect shots, there is ample room for character development and meaningful content. The actors involved contin... |

Another adaptation to the Harry Potter series. Although the book was bigger and more was taken out of the book The Order of the Phoenix was one of the best movies of the Harry Potter series so far.
The story is pretty accurate, but not enough is learned about the Order itself. The special effects, character development, and imagination poured into the story try to make up for that, but the story is still lacking a lot of the essential parts that the book had. I realize that there isn't enough time to add everything from the book, but they could have been a little more accurate on the Order and its members.
The characters react pretty well to the things around them, and most of the things are accurate. Most of the characters are similar to the previous Harry Potter series, but the on... |
