Tetrady not as good as all the hype

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

mauricepfeife This was way too long, the CGI wasn't that good, so many scenes that shouldn't be in the movie in my opinion, and the entire first half had no interesting or fresh and memorable scenes. What I think makes this movie still a watchable one is the chemistry, the interesting themes and the last 35 minutes.

9thgraders I think Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Of course, I love all the films of the saga, but that one is my favorite. Based on the book by J.K Rowling, it is a perfect mixture of action, suspense, adventure and mystery.Harry, Ron and Hermione enter the 5th year at Hogwarts, which is controlled by the Ministry of Magic, notably by Dolores Umbridge. She sets up a directorial regime and forbids students to practice defenses spells. So the three friends created "Dumbledore's Army" to practice defense against the forces of evil under Harry's teachings.I find Daniel Radcliffe (as Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (as Ron Weasley) and Emma Watson (as Hermione Granger) are so great for their roles. They are so realistic. They are just perfect for their characters. Because they make you feel the emotions of the character well.And the director David Yates made a very fabulous final result. The story is extremely imaginative and is, in my opinion, one of David Yates's best. The composer for the soundtrack of this film was Nicholas Hooper and he made an amazing job. When I listen to one of them, I feel so good. They are so expressive. They reflect very well the moments when they are used. They are so pretty.This film was produced by David Heyman and David Barron, and I find their work extremely amazing. The costumes are absolutely awesome and fun. I think they are a big part of the extravagance and the originality of the movie. And last but not least, the special effects are so beautiful. Between the Dementors, that are so fantastic, the duel between Lord Voldemort and Dumbledore in the Ministry of Magic, the chamber of secrets, that is well done... that's so awesome to watch.So honestly, I really recommend this movie! If you are a person who wants adventure, suspense and mystery, this is the film to see! You must see it.Amandine

shieun koak My favorite movie in my life is 'Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix'. I think I'm going to remember this movie for my entire life.This movie was directed wonderfully. It's full of magic, well of course because it's about wizards and witches. But what I mean, is that this movie is magical. I feel like I'm in this movie. I feel like I'm a witch myself and I'm learning the 'defence against Dark Arts' spells with the Hogwats students.My favorite characters were Fred and George. They made the best scene this time when everybody was having a test, they messed up the school with their fireworks. This was so awesome.I'm going to watch this movie again and again.

Thomas Drufke I'm sure it's difficult for any filmmaker to adapt a beloved novel, but David Yates had an extraordinary task attempting to cut down the longest Potter novel into what happens to be, the second shortest film in the series. I didn't read the books, so I can't specifically comment on the quality of the adaptation, but I do know that Order of the Phoenix is one damn good film.As much as I love the inevitable singular adventures each film in the Harry Potter series brings, I think Harry's emotional journey in each film is equally as intriguing. That journey is perhaps most drastic in Order of the Phoenix. After the horrific events at the end of Goblet of Fire, Hogwarts, its students, and the rest of the Wizarding World are at a split feeling surrounding the reemergence of Lord Voldemort. The ministry refuses to believe that that the dark lord has returned, while Harry and a select few at Hogwarts are truly preparing for what's to come.Harry faces a difficult case against him at the ministry after it's revealed to them that Harry used magic in the presence of muggles. It's another truly eerie opening as the dementors nearly killed Harry and Dudley. But Dementors are only the beginning to what is probably Harry's most difficult task in the series to that point, defeating the dark lord and his "army" he's been recruiting.We've seen plenty of great adventures from the main trio thus far, so I guess it was about time the team expands a bit. Alas, Harry starts "Dumbledore's Army" with the help of Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, Neville, Cho, and the new cast member, Luna Lovegood among others. It's probably the first time in the series' history where Harry willingly takes on a leadership role in order to get ahead of Voldemort's plans. This all isn't taken too well from the newly appointed Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Dolores Umbridge. Umbridge is easily one the easiest characters to hate in the series, but I can't picture anyone else bringing more to the role than Imelda Staunton did. It's a complicated character to like, but it fits in with the tone of the movie in a strangely satisfying way.Another strong point in The Order of the Phoenix is the impressive set design. Unlike Goblet of Fire, we get to spend much more time at Hogwarts as well as getting a look at a few new sets outside the campus. Just simply taking a look at the gorgeous cinematography and production design of the final showdown at the Department of Mysteries. To me, it's one of the finest sequences this series has ever given us. Seeing Harry and a good portion of his team take on the Death Eaters was cool, but nothing compares to Dumbledore (and sort of Harry) take on Voldemort. That along with the death of Sirius Black leaves the series on a satisfyingly somber note.It's difficult to compare this film to the others. There are aspects to the Order of the Phoenix that are great, like the climax and Harry's emotional arc, but it's hard to not feel like there's something missing from the story. You don't necessarily feel that way during the viewing, but perhaps looking back, it could have used an extra 15 minutes or so of scenes.+Production design +Harry's emotional arc +Dumbledore vs Voldemort+Harry takes on a leadership role -Could be an extra 15 minutes of plot to add 8.8/10
