Report this review  Harry potter...An honest opinionReview created: 27/07/07 by: 7 of 8 people found this review helpful. If you are reading this then you are probably a fan of Harry and Co. I myself have been a fan since the start and am currently reading The deathly hallows for the second time. My review kind of depends on you, If you have only watched the first four films and do not read then, I cannot fault this film. It is fabulous watching the various emotions and changes in the characters as they are getting older and the spells and final fight are great. I don't want to give away too much so I will be careful but watch out for both Luna and Bellatrix...fabulous characters. The acting cannot in my opinion be faulted...so over all for those of you depending on the films for the story this is an excellent film not to be missed. Now...for those of you that like me are avid readers, I am afraid although a very enjoyable film, you may find yourself (again like me) walking away feeling rather dissapointed. Many things have been cut, I assume because of the time frame...I would like to remind people of films such as..Lord of the rings, green mile and many more...these films manage to last 3hrs or more and any real Harry potter fan would be more than happy to sit through a slightly longer film for the rewards of crucial information. Small things like...Ron actually became prefect (not in the film)and more info about Kreacher...we can forgive these of course but what about the full explanation from Dumbledore (hoping they will cover much more in the next film regarding this) The full story on Snapes memory (this really becomes rather crucial in book/film seven)The mirror that Sirius gave Harry wasn't mentioned...I feel this was important as it helps to explain to the younger viewers about loss. Also the final fight...Sadly so much missing which would have made for great viewing! Of course this is just one persons view and I hope you all really enjoy watching the film...and 'the deathly hallows' is a must read...fantastic. Thankyou to J.K.Rowling, The actresses and actors that have helped make the film come alive and of course the directors, producers etc.....Blooming good job!!! If J.K Rowling was in front of me I would beg for her to continue writting this style...maybe with one or two characters we already know and love...the ones that are left that is! Thankyou for reading my review and God bless to you all. Review ID: 10000000004064341 Was this review helpful? Report this review Excellent Buy it NOW!Review created: 09/11/07 by: 3 of 5 people found this review helpful. 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' is the fifth film in the series based on magical books by JK Rowling. Following straight on from the events at the end of The Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermoine Granger begin their next year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Most of the wizarding community doesn't believe Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore's news that Lord Volemort has returned and has been restored to full power along with his army of Death Eaters. The news is seen as a lie due to The Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge who doesn't want to believe that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is back. Fudge feeds false information about Harry and Dumbledore to the Daily Prophet, the main newspaper that is read by most wizarding folk, which makes them believe that Harry and Dumbledore are liars and their stories cannot be trusted. Fudge also appoints a new Hogwarts Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher, Delores Umbridge, who steadily begins to take over Hogwarts through the support of the Ministry. Harry, Ron and Hermione immediately dislike Umbridge as she refuses to allow them to discuss the return of Lord Voldemort, and teaches them with no practical lessons. In rebellion of this, and for personal safety against Lord Voldermort and his Death Eaters, Harry begins his own, secret Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons with other Hogwarts students, calling themselves Dumbledore's Army. The film is an extremely good attempt at capturing the story from the book...for the first half at least. Up until the point where the Room of Requirement is discovered nearly everything is spot-on to the book, then the scriptwriter has seemingly gone off on his own storylines, missing out important plot pieces and characters that are essential to the next book(s). For example (without giving too much away) - the R.A.B. locket!? There are way too many differences to list here. If, like me, you are a big fan of the Harry Potter books and know the "real" storyline well, this film may come of a bit of a let-down and it will have you commenting "why did they cut that out?" and "why did they change that?" for pretty much the whole second half of the film. Don't get me wrong, this is a very, very good film, maybe the best in the series even and a fantastic addition to the movie saga with some top quality acting, action, sets, comedy and special effects but there is just way too many changes to be able to say it is as good as the book but still a very good attempt at fitting a massive book into two and a half hours. For anyone who has seen the other Harry Potter films and not read the books, this film will probably seem like the best yet. Review ID: 10000000004645422 Was this review helpful?
