Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Ok, to start off so nobody thinks I’m being dully unfair here. I have read all of the first five Harry Potter books and most of the sixth (it’s thick and very daunting, give me a brake). So I know what has been left out or altered in the movies. I also happen to be one of those people who bitch about those same alterations and exceptions. So the first part of this review will be about the movie itself while the second part will be about what was changed and left out. But I’m going to keep it short so as not to ruin the movie for any one. If I really get going I’ll end up giving a whole synopsis of the film.
In a nutshell the movie was just as good as the other four the effect continued to be up the par and there was plenty of action to keep you on the edge of your seats. If you liked the first four movies you’ll love this latest addition to the series.
SPOILER ALERT
For starters they only showed Harry getting one letter from the Ministry after the Dementor incident, not the four he actually got. They braze over the Order members, didn’t even really introduce them. Neville’s parents barely got a mention. They whipped through Umbrage’s actions at Hogwarts. Gave no explanation of the inquisitorial squad, didn’t even mention that Ron and Hermonie were Prefects. Hagred wasn’t chased off by a squad of wizards he just left. They don’t show any of the O.W.L.s or the career interview. You never see all of the prophecy and Dumbledore doesn’t explain everything, only about half of it. They leave out the bit wtin the Quibbler but seeing as how they left out the Retia Skeeter in the last movie that's understandable. The Cho and Harry relationship isleft to only one kiss and then it goes nowhere. Ok so in the book they broke up before the school year ended, but still as far as the movie goes there might as well have not been a relationship. The whole Quiddige matter is left out. They don’t show Umbrage to be half the bitch she really is and that’s what really pisses me off. She made the fifth year Hell and they don’t show it. they just meagerly emply it.
END SPOILER ALERT
However overall it was a fantastic film and I give it three out of five dragons (Remember I’ve read the books).
