At last a film true to the book

Rating: 9/10 (20 July 2007)

In the past I have dreaded each release of the Potter films and have dragged myself to see the latest instalment. Finally with 'HP and the Order of the Phoenix' we have a film adaptation as true to the book as possible, and a film which in some way captures the imagination, like the books do. Perhaps my expectations of previous films were too high, but this flick really stuns you from start to finish and is not overacted, not trivialised and not childish in the same the previous films were. Brave Mr Yates for finally fulfilling the potential of a Harry Potter film.
9/10
