Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

As his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry approaches, 15-year-old Harry Potter is in full-blown adolescence, complete with regular outbursts of rage, a nearly debilitating crush, and the blooming of a powerful sense of rebellion. It’s been yet another infuriating and boring summer with the despicable Dursleys, this time with minimal contact from our hero’s non-Muggle friends from school. Harry is feeling especially edgy at the lack of news from the magic world, wondering when the freshly revived evil Lord Voldemort will strike. Returning to Hogwarts will be a relief–or will it?

Yahoo viewer review:

The movie really disappointed me. They left out stuff that should not have been left out, granted the book is 900 pages long and you can’t turn a 900 page book into a movie and expect every last detail in the book. But I believe that none of the people who were working on the movie, as in directing it, and writing it, read the 6th Harry Potter book, which should have been done. They would have known what to leave out and what should not have been left out and what they should NOT have changed. They added scenes into the movie, which…were not even part of the book. It was utterly disappointing.
Secondly, the scenes they added, and they took out. It’s ridiculous.

A scene that should not have been left out was when Hermione convinced Rita Skeeter to go to the Three Broom Sticks, and interview Harry about what happened in his fourth year. It would have had more of an emotional point to the movie. I think that is what my problem is with this movie. It was choppy. It only touched on what the writers thought were the “important” aspects of the movie. And the characters did not really have any lines. They barley talked in this movie. The longest monologue that was in it was when Umbridge was talking to the students when they were at the feast. The fifth book was my favorite out of the series; it was the best in my eyes, because of the emotional side. Harry, Ron and Hermione have grown into themselves. They all have more emotions and they have changed. Harry is angered all the time and when he is screaming, yelling, thrashing stuff and breaking possessions of Dumbledoor’s the movie only had him get quiet and sullen which makes no sense. And left a VERY good feel of what the character was going through. He had just lost the closest thing to a relative they could have easily made him more mad.

The one scene, however that I found was really good and really good acting was when Harry was being possessed by Voldermort, in the Ministry. Daniel did a very good job with the acting. I felt that he was being possessed and that he was trying to control the boy. There were some really funny parts to this movie, it wasn’t all bad. Some of the scenes that they had added in were fairly creative and well thought. But after watching the Goblet of Fire, I suppose it could have been managed. The Goblet of Fire was only less the 700 pages and they fit almost everything into the movie. I and I know a lot of other fans didn’t expect the movie to be the shortest one out of them all even though it is the longest book. The movie was a 138 minutes, it is 20 minutes shorter then the Goblet of Fire, and even the Sorcerers Stone. It’s an entire half and hour shorter then the Chamber of Secrets! It’s not as if they didn’t have enough money either. The Goblet of Fire ranged somewhere around 3.5 Billion dollars. They could have easily made it to be the longest one out of the 4 they have made so far. I don’t think the movie fit with the book in the least. They left out scenes and parts of the book that is going to play a roll into the 7th book coming out in a week. I feel sympathy for all of those who do not read the books, and do not get to understand what a genius J.K Rowling really is. How her books explain more then the movies will ever do.

My Review
