After returning to Hogwarts to begin his fifth year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter discovers that much of the wizarding world, including the Ministry of Magic, is in denial about Lord Voldemort's return. The Order of the Phoenix, a group sworn against Voldemort, is using its vast array of wizards and witches magical abilities to combat Voldemort. Cornelius Fudge, Minister for Magic, suspects that Dumbledore is using these claims of The Dark Lord's return as a means to over-throw Fudge as Minister. In retaliation, a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher is appointed by the Ministry in order to keep an eye on Hogwarts. This new teacher, Professor Umbridge, implies strict new teachings and rules, forcing a group of students, under the tutelage of Harry, to form a club, by the name of Dumbledore's Army...

GOOD MOVIE FOR HARRY POTTER AND ONE OF MY FAVOURITES .This movie was veryinteresting and exciting and funny in the firs part.I liked he scene when fred and george made a lot of miss .i like the sound tracks of this movie.
This and Prisoner of Azkaban are the best adaptations. The final dual between Voldemort and Dumbledore is fantastic.
A very excellent film. Funny and dark, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a delightful film for all ages. Evanna Lynch's portrayl of Luna Lovegood is better than I expected it to be.

Evanna Lynch's portrayl of Luna Lovegood is better than I expected it to be. She brings the funny side of things to the film and she makes you smile at the end after such a sad ending. The dark side takes over when Helena Bonham Carter's portrayl of Bellatrix Lestrange appears. She works her magic to make this the darkest Potter film yet. She really brings out her best to make this the best Potter film out of the 5 so far. All in all an amazing film.
OK - Let's break it down like this: The Harry Potter Franchise is the best one to become a fan of. There are teenagers, but it isn't bubblegum, and there are adults, but it isn't too mature.

There are teenagers, but it isn't bubblegum, and there are adults, but it isn't too mature. It's very much so what the world needs now, in a time surrounded by the over-ruling vanilla flavored disney channel... This here is entertaining for every audience.
Critic Reviews
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the most rousing of the Potter films so far, and certainly one of the best.full review
Spectacular. Harry Potter is a true movie phenomenon. This one seals the deal. If you weren't hooked before, you will be now.full review
This is a gangly, confusing sprawl, and yet there are enough patches of beauty scattered throughout that it's impossible to reject it wholesale.full review
Whatever happened to the delight and, if you'll excuse the term, the magic in the Harry Potter series?full review
Continuing the increasingly darker, more adult trend of the series, the film version is swiftly paced, engrossing and often thrilling.full review
While the film doesn't have the imaginative magic of The Prisoner of Azkaban or the chummy warmth of The Goblet of Fire, it's a serviceable bridge to the story's final chapters.full review
The special effects continue to be masterful, but villains are given a new twist, and Order of the Phoenix is all the more fun because of it.full review
Although Order of the Phoenix is not a great movie, it is a pretty good one, in part because it does not strain to overwhelm the audience with noise and sensation.full review
Did I mention that, for all its portentousness, this is the best Harry Potter picture yet? In some ways, it improves on J. K. Rowling's novel, which is punishingly protracted and builds to a climactic wand-off better seen than read.full review
Order of the Phoenix, the best of the series so far, has the laughs, the jitters and the juice to make even nonbelievers wild about Harry.full review
