    first i want to say that the battle sences were AWSOME. i thought it was very good but there was somthing that made me feel like i wasnt watching harry potter about half way throught the film it came to me! NO THEAME MUSIC! you can defently tell the differnt takes all the direct...( read more)ors had on the series because of how different all the movies are. i really liked how that showed all the flashes of pictures but it didnt seem to fit this movie all that great. Also it seem like as sooon as u were watching a sence it would be over in 2 min. They did explain some parts very well. Other than the no theame music i thought i was a great movie and the battle sences just blew my mind at how real they were. VOLDEMORT!! I LOVE HIM!! Ralph Fiennes is my favorite actor and this is one of his BEST character parts.

    I have heard this chapter isn't really as good as the book due to it not being very accurate but its still a good flick for someone who hasn't read the book. The final battle sequence is very good, abit of a Star Wars rip but damn good. Imelda Staunton is very good as the new sca...( read more)ry teacher and Dumbledore's army is quite a cool little sub-plot line, also glad to see Alan Rickman back in there again :)

    Not as good as I was hoping it would be. It felt somewhat dull compared to the others.

    Once again, a new director who could bring to life one of the most famous fantasy adventures of modern literature has been established in the Harry Potter series. With the atmosphere of the film growing darker and the plot becoming even more complex, Harry Potter and the Order...( read more) of the Phoenix is an extraordinary fantasy tale full of suspense and fantastic moments throughout thanks to the overall effort that David Yates applied to the film according to his own style.

    The fifth year of Harry Potter at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has just begun and, although he tries to convince the wizarding world, including the Ministry of Magic, about Lord Voldemort's next return, he finds denial and rejection. However, The Order of the Phoenix, a group whose main purpose is to exterminate Voldemort, becomes aware of the situation and decides to start using several magical abilities to combat Voldemort. The Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, suspects that Dumbledore is using the claims of The Dark Lord's return as an excuse to over-throw him as Minister, so a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Dolores Umbridge, is appointed by the Ministry of Magic so she can replace Dumbledore. Her strict rules and hard teachings force Harry to secretly form a group of young wizards called Dumbledore's army, while Lord Voldemort is gathering strength and a new army of his own as well. Naturally, the film received attention from the BAFTA Awards, being nominated for the categories of Best Production Design and Best Special Visual Effects.

    The film has still maintained its overall dark atmosphere and keeps working adequately. I personally did not know any cinematic previous work by David Yates before this film so, as a new director to me, he had a great start. Not only did he achieve to direct the best Harry Potter installment so far, but also to live up to the usual and common global hype. The adaptation from the book may have omitted several key aspects of the novel's original plot, but I still maintain my position towards the definition of "cinematic adaptation" instead of resorting to the term "copy".

    The pace of the story felt fluent and the screenplay was pretty decent, bringing several good performances from start to finish. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson are back in their respective, famous roles, but the one that always stands out the most because of the acting is Daniel Radcliffe. Because children inevitably keep growing up, so has the subject matter. I'm not specifically talking about dumb portrayals of romance and broken hearts like Yates did in the sequel called Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, but about majority and general reactions.

    The fantasy sequences are top-notch, which inevitably implies that Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) is back once more, culminating in an unforgettable fight between him and Albus Dumbledore, leaving Potter as a useless magician once more. The Order of the Phoenix actually plays its important part in the film. The special effects and (I dare to say) the cinematography deserved more recognition.

    As the series that belong to my "guilty pleasures" list keeps maintaining the hype in an astonishing way, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a memorable fantasy tale that won't be easily forgotten, unlike its sequel is about to be. With a superb execution and the proper balance of emphasis to plot development and action, it is an adventure that still lives up to the hype. It is the third best Harry Potter film so far.

    80/100
