One of the better HP movies

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2020)

Harry Potter finally got a haircut lol.
In all honestly, the Order of the Phoenix is one of the better Potter films.
Disclaimer: I never grew up on the Harry Potter series nor have I read the books. So my review may be biased.
The Order of the Phoenix does what every HP movie does. There is significant world-building, new elements to be added to the larger plot, and a satisfying wizardry action. Yet, Order of the Phoenix shines best by its use of character development.
Character development in this film is superb. The audience learns to hate Umbridge even more (great work by Imelda Staunton, btw) and love Sirius Black. We are introduced to just how sociopathic and murderous Bellatrix can be. I can go on and on. Everyone portrays their character perfectly.
The climax is also satisfying, full of action, and visually stunning.
Great stuff.
