Alas! The fifth Harry Potter film has arrived. The time is long past that this can be considered a simple "children's" series--though children and adults alike will enjoy it immensely. Starting off from the dark and tragic ending of the fourth film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix begins in a somber and angst-filled tone that carries through the entire 138 minutes (the shortest of any HP movie despite being adapted from the longest book). Hopes of winning the Quidditch Cup have been replaced by woes like government corruption, distorted media spin, and the casualties of war. As the themes have matured, so have the primary characters' acting abilities. Ron (Rupert Grint), Hermione (Emma Watson), and especially Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) are more convincing than ever--in roles that are more demanding.

Harry is deeply traumatized from having witnessed Cedric Diggory's murder, but he will soon find that this was just another chapter in the continuing loss he will endure. Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) has returned and, in an attempt to conceal this catastrophe from the wizarding public, the Ministry of Magic has teamed up with the wizard newspaper The Daily Prophet to smear young Potter and wise Dumbledore (Michael Gambon)--seemingly the only two people in the public eye who believe the Dark Lord has returned. With no one else to stand against the wicked Death Eaters, the Hogwarts headmaster is forced to revive his secret anti-Voldemort society, the Order of the Phoenix. This welcomes back characters like Mad-Eye Moody (Brendan Gleeson), kind Remus Lupin (David Thewlis), fatherly Sirius Black (Gary Oldman), and insidious Severus Snape (Alan Rickman), and introduces a short list of intriguing new faces. In the meantime, a semi-psychotic bureaucrat from the Ministry (brilliantly portrayed by Imelda Staunton) has seized power at Hogwarts, and Harry is forced to form a secret society of his own--lest the other young wizards at his school be left ill-equipped to defend themselves in the looming war between good and evil. In addition, Harry is filled with an inexplicable rage that only his Godfather Sirius seems to be able to understand.

This film, though not as frightening as its predecessor, earns its PG-13 rating mostly because of the ever-darkening tone. As always, the loyal fans of J.K. Rowling's books will suffer huge cuts from the original plot and character developments, but make no mistake: this is a good movie. --Jordan Thompson

Not as good as the others... August 21, 2008
I thought that this movie was just okay. I really love all of the Harry Potter books, and all of the movies. The Order of the Phoenix was my least favorite book, and the movie didn't have my favorite parts of the book. (of which there were very few) This made the movie very bland and dull. During the middle, it really dragged. Although I liked both the beginning and the end (except for the part where Sirius died) the middle part was just too slow. I am hoping that movie 6 will be much better.

Harry Potter and Big Brother August 18, 2008

After three and four, this fifth installment is disappointing. Order of the Phoenix is too short and leaves out a little bit too much. Make that way, WAY too much by serious fans of the books, but when isn't that the case? At times the viewer is not provided with background and significant details which would make the story more interesting and sensible. All of these movies seem to made with an assumption that everyone has read the book. This movie should have included more and that it was shorter running than previous adaptations is inexcusable and the wrong decision by the filmmakers. This fifth story leaves you eager for six and seven while making many people concerned about the choice of David Yates (director of Phoenix) to be director of all three. However, what is very promising is Yates's desire to do the seventh and last book as two seperate films in order to do justice to the story.

I had a problem with the bluish tint seen in much of the movie and that sort of digitale film look, I guess you could call it. Hagrid's giant half-brother was just sad. I mean, how could they accept that result? It's acceptable by mid-90s standards. Maybe they figured people wouldn't care.

There are a few things that stand out in this movie, however.

I liked the Department of Mysteries. You wondered what it would look like on the screen and it did not disappoint. Dolores Umbridge is evil incarnate. She is one of the most horrible, disgusting, unlikable, disturbing villains I've ever seen. Most of the time villains, particularly in the movies, are famous for having the best lines and great style. They have a stricking apperance and often more personality and charisma than the heros. Not the case with Dolores Umbridge. She has none of this going for her. No great lines but some slightly memorable ones like she confesses, "You know, I really hate children." That squeaky voice, the knit pink oufit, and torturing kids... It's Big Brother in pink with a bad hair-do as your worst nightmare teacher from grade school and "a cross between Margaret Thatcher and Hyacinth Bucket"(The Daily Mall). Well, truth is she is not as horrible as Margaret Thatcher. All the performances are good. Gary Oldman is great as Sirius Black as is Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange. She is the embodiment of the twisted, evil, cackling witch.

The obvious highlight and climax of Order of the Phoenix is the battle at the Ministry culminating in the epic duel between Dumbledore and Voldemort. Out of all the wizard fights I've seen portrayed in the movies, this one was the most impressive. It was fierce and conveyed the two masters awesome abilities without seeming cartoonish or leaving you feeling like your favorite character was short changed. (I umm, have a couple movies in mind here. You guess what they are.)

leaves you ready for the next one August 13, 2008
This is a nice package, with lots of extras. The movie quality is wonderful and gives the feel of seeing it in the theatre. Of course the movie is wonderful and for all HP fans!

I was recently on a plane in which I was not tired and didn't have anything to read. Thus, I had to determine what to do with three free hours. I decided the in-flight movie, Harry Potter #5, would help me get through the flight.

In this installment, Harry Potter is getting a bad rap because no one believes Big V is really back. Hogwarts gets an obnoxious new headmaster, who rubs most people the wrong way. Harry starts teaching his own "Defense Against the Dark Arts" classes, which basically consists of telling people how to point their wands, say the magic words and have enough confidence that it works (does magic work on faith?).

The movie succeeded in helping pass the time, but not much more beyond that. The characters are not very believable or sympathetic. For me, it's hard to get very excited about a storyline where all problems can be solved with magic. I know this puts me in the minority, since most people think Harry Potter and friends are the bomb, but I just don't care about them. Granted, the books are a much better read (and I have not read this particular book) than the movies are to watch, but I can't really recommend this to anyone who isn't already an avid HP fan.

VERY INTENSE July 24, 2008
11 out of 13 found this review helpful

The world of Harry Potter has changed considerably from the 1st film. Gone is the light hearted wizardry and magic and in is the dark challenges and sorrow. Harry Potter continues in this film to endure tradgedy oafter tradgedy but somehow is able to go on. An inner strength that picks him up time and time again. In this installment Harry takes action. He teaches his fellow students self defense after the ministry of magic goes into denial about voldemort. Harry and Dumbledore are seen in a different light because the wizard community will not accept the fact the he who can not be named is back. Harry and his fellow students havea showdown with voldemort with dumbledore again to his aid. But again Harry faces loss. In the end he learns that he and voldemort can not exist as long as the other lives. His tragic life seemingly hopeless and filled with despair but Harry manages to rise above it all.
