Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

In the Fifth installment of the Harry Potter series, Harry is back at Hogwarts for another school year. However, this is going to be one of Harry's hardest years because not only does he have to worry about taking his OWLs but he also has to worry about Lord Voldemort who returned in the previous film.

During Harry Potter's fifth year at Hogwarts, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) returns to school with everyone doubting what happened to Cedric Diggory and the return of Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes). While at school his has to deal with the new Defense against the Dark Arts Teacher, Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton). While at school he and his friends rebel against the new rules set by Umbridge by creating Dumbledore's Army. In the end it is up to Harry and his friends, with some help from The Order of the Phoenix to take on Lord Voldemort and his death eaters.

This movie was fantastic. I think it was one of the most action packed Harry Potter films yet. The way that they did the battle at the Ministry of Magic was fantastic. I think that all of the actors did a fantastic job in this installment. It has been amazing how all of the kids have grown up while making these films. I think that with each film the actors get better, and the become even more like the characters that they are playing. Also each film gets progressively better. I was a little bit upset that some things got cut from the film, including when Harry destroys Dumbledore's office. However I really did love the film. I really want to see it in 3D, that last 20-30 minutes of the film are in 3D at imax theaters, and I want to see it again, this time at the imax. I can't wait to see this film again, and again, and of course buy it on DVD.
