Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix (Review)

This is truly a movie franchise for all ages. So I shall not go much into the script and other technical details of the movie. But what I can say....adults and kids alike will absolutely love it~!

I have never seen so much magic used in one scene in my life. To those who do not know what is Harry Potter is all about I'll give you a short run through...

It is about Harry Potter who lost his parents in a terrible wizard war against Voldemort. Now he lives with his relatives who are Muggles (normal humans)on holidays and the rest of his time he is enroled in a wizardry school called Hogwarts. Order of the Pheonix is largely based on the fact that Voldermort has indeed come back and a special task force has been re-instated into place to combat the dark wizards bid for power. Harry and his many friends are caught in the thick of things and at the same time the Ministry of Magic is going into denial and paranoia of Voldemort's come back.

The adventure mostly revolves around Hogwarts. Story details aside the movie is good enough to be watched without the need to catch the earlier ones. But essentially if you are indeed a fan of the book and the movie the earlier movies should not be missed in sequence.

The ending is not entirely happy as the dark wizard still roams free to plot for power. But the children of Hogwarts this time entirely is immersed with a series of adventures and take a very active role in the storyline. Its funny, mysterious and definitely magical. Just a note....personally I think the battle of a bunch of wizards and witches is far more breath taking than a bunch of Jedis and Siths. I give it a 4 out of 5.

I agree. The magical duels between the Dumbledore's Army/Order of the Phoenix and Voldemort/Death Eaters were amazing. :)
