Movie Reviews of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Widescreen Edition)Movie Review: A 12-year-old's review Summary: 5 Stars
This was the only Harry Potter film that, when I first saw it, I thought merited only a 4-star rating instead of a 5-star one. I thought that at the time because they had cut so much of the book out. The longest Harry Potter book was the shortest Harry Potter film! However, watching it again today and other times after my first viewing made me re-evaluate my original score. Why? There are several reasons (as usual). First off, the acting was some of the best I've ever seen in a movie. The regulars were all perfect, as usual (for my reasons why, see my review of Harry Potter 1). Despite that, the thing that made the film perfect was the newcomers. I've never found anyone who disagrees with me when I say that Luna and Umbridge were flawlessly cast. Luna just seemed so ... Luna! And Umbridge fooled you into thinking she was kind and sweet and then revealed her twisted nature, in acting so flawless that we viewers forgot it was just a role. Going back to Luna, I thought she sometimes stole the show. Neville also made you see another side of him. Another reason I changed my rating was that I understood that a film should be judged in its own right, and not as an adaptation of the book. Judging it as a film in its own right, it certainly earns a 5-star rating. Some characters had virtually no screen time (Malfoy), but this overall strengthened the film because in spite of Malfoy's flawless performance, the character itself would have hindered the development of the film. Filch was just downright funny. The scene with Dumbledore and Voldemort dueling is terrifying and riveting. It also shows great special effects. It was also nice to see Harry and his friends venture outside Hogwarts grounds. The Ministry of Magic was particularly interesting. I still can't believe what an hilarious buffoon Fudge is! He hires Umbridge who is clearly a twisted maniac (I DON'T CARE HOW MANY KITTEN PHOTOS SHE HAS!) and doesn't believe Dumbledore, who has never failed him before. Fudge is really quite dumb. I'm glad he was replaced as Minister of Magic. I could go on with reasons why I loved this film, but I think you get the point. So, I shall simply thank you for reading this review and give Harry Potter - The Order of the Phoenix 5 stars.
P.S. I love Grawp!

With Harry Potter as their leader, these students (who call themselves "Dumbledore's Army") meet secretly in a hidden room at Hogwarts to hone their wizarding skills in preparation for battle with the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters. . New adventure - more dangerous , more thrilling than ever - is yours in this enthralling film version of the fifth novel in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. A terrifying showdown between good and evil awaits. Prepare for battle! - Product Measures: 0.5 x 5.5 x 7.5
