I was willing voldamort to kill the irritating little twerp towards the end! H Potter went from a nice kid to a really whiny, attention seeking drama queen. Shame Ron didnt get as much screen time as tends to balance out Harry’s self obsession.
The actress who plays Harmonia or whatever….cannot do what she is being paid to do. Why does she shout her lines, spit them out like polyjuice potion, constantly screw her annoying shrew like face up over and over. Her acting is a lot scarier than Voldamort.
Any for gods sake tell me why all of the members of the Weasley family have different accents? Some regional, some best British BBC – some Cockney, some north of the border. Rons sister is dire – her plummy voice is in complete contrast to Rons homely regional accent. Is she trying to out posh Harmonia or something?
Will someone just put Harry out of his misery and kill the little bastard. Havent read any of the books but I hope the glorious Alan Rickman gets to torture and then kill Harry, v v slowly and with lots of dialogue. What a man, what a voice!

The Potter books are far too complex to be replicated on screen in their entirety. Of necessity, the films must be impressionistic; they can only give you the high points of the books. While I found the jump cutting in the OOTP film irritating, I don’t know how else they could have done it without adding an hour to the running time. To my mind, the best of the Potter films was Prisoner of Azkaban. The screenplay was excellent and Alfonso Curion’s direction was best able to capture the spirit of the book. I would hope Curion is signed to do the final film. I have heard that Yates and Goldenberg are already under contract to do The Half Blood Prince.

The music playing in the common room is “Boys Will Be Boys” by The Ordinary Boys. They rule!

In the scene where seamus is arguing with harry in the common room, there is some rock background music playing. Any idea what the name of the song is and who sings it?

yup the movie was boring i felt it was rush and the music background did not fit the scenes this movie was the worst of the others because i like the other last four they were more exciting. i even read the book for this one and like they skipped several good parts on the book i’d blame the Director David Yates i mean Chris columbus who directed one of the Hp movies did great and i felt the editing was terrible skipping scene after scene i felt each scene was a whole different story unlike the last four which was exciting. why didn’t Chris Columbus do it i admire his work for i astrive to become a director myself. itw as entirely boring the one particular part i hated in the movie was when Bellatrix Lestrange escaped the music background made me think something exciting was gonna happen but no nothing i mean the music background was terrible it didnot fit the scenes and the filming it self was terrible except a couple of parts. i mean they often zoomed toward the castle of hogwarts and they used aerial cameras alot i mean alot if you watched it.

i agree with GeekFreek…the movie had no action or anything…it was boring and when it ended i was like…um what??
Yeah kinda a waste of time going to see that i think…
Thought it would be good but still not really sure what the point of that whole movie was..
Hope the last 1s are better than this

Easily my favorite movie so far … but, then, again, Order of the Phoenix is my favorite Harry Potter novel so far … http://paullevinson.blogspot.com/2007/07/harry -potter-and-3-d-phoenix.html

i dont know what all of you are talking about.I thought it was pretty good. if you didnt read the book then you may not have followed it,but you can at least ask someone who likes it to fill in the blanks for you. I saw someone on another website complaining about how its all about Voldemort.Well arent all of the except the third!?And the only reason the third was nt about him was because they were introducing Surius. If youv’e read the book,you already know about the stuff they left out,so stop complaining!!I did that and i thik it was the best besides the 4th

[...] Hell yeah! I just might have to watch this after all. I actually wasn’t planning on catching this, why I don’t know because I’ve loved all the movies so far, well particularly 3 and 4, but the first two were OK too I guess. Yay for a more mature movie that doesn’t cater to thirteen year olds! Both the book and the film Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix mark the time when author JK Rowling and the folks at Warner Brothers stopped fucking around with being cute and started taking it as seriously as the fans did.

What makes ME mad is that they didn’t accent Emma Watson’s hotness enough. I mean, mom jeans and a sweater? Yeah…like there was one shot where she was good-looking and it was in the DA room when she had her hair back.
Yes I know it’s trivial:-p but still.
Yeah pretty good movie.
But why have they basically cut the “Percy” storyline out of the movies? I think they just didn’t have enough time. Well, they’re screwed for number 6, he has a pretty important part.
I liked the scene with the twins cheering up Nigel. Made me happy and reminded me of my big brother.

ive read all the books multiple times. have not seen the order of the phoenix yet, but cant wait. all the other movies leave out important or funny or just plain cool parts that were in the book. even some of the script is changed. if you read the books and see the movie you will be dissapointed with all of the movies. how ever, if you havnt read the books you should. there are alot of things that are left out of the movies.

The movie was boring, episodic, and awash with crappy, obviously CGI effects (the collapse of the shelves in the Department of Mysteries especially), which failed to make up for the lack of plot. I give it 1 star.

You’ve nailed it, and I concur – there’s something very different about this one. {link}

Let’s hope what follows will retain this level of quality.
