"Haven't you always wondered what the connection is between you and the Dark Lord"

The Order of the Phoenix was and is my least favorite book from the Harry Potter series. It was way too long and it suffered pace issues. Thankfully this all disappears in the movie. The 'keeps getting better and better every movie' thing that was going on stops here. This is my third last favorite HP movie. Coming up behind POA and GOF.
After the magical HP3 and HP4 you think they would have chosen a more experience director. David Yates(some of you might be saying who?)is the guy who directed a few the Bill episodes and a few short films. Now they got him directed one of the biggest movie series on the planet. Also he is set to direct the rest of the movies. That is a very big risk. I am not saying he didn't do a good job but i felt they should have use a better known director.
The acting is like it was in the previous movies. The visual effects seem to have dropped in quality and the ending was great.
I recommend this if you have seen the previous movies. Its not the best one so far but it was still satisfying.
7/10
