Rushed

Rating: 5/10 (16 July 2007)

I couldn't help but feel as if the entire film was rushed, it varies from the book significantly along plot line's both major and minor. I found the order of the phoenix the most enjoyable book of the series however this film seemed to squeeze the life out of the book and utterly ignore a lot of the story. In the end the film just felt as if it was an excuse to throw together a few action scene's coupled with a lot of special effects. The final fight sequence is cut down to the bare minimum along with the Weasleys departure from Hogwarts which did not fully express the reaction of the people or the actions of the twins and a lot of the deeds that took place in the house of black seem to be completely overlooked.
