Condensed Version

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2007)

I am a great fan of the books and the movies. My favorite movies are Order of the Phoenix and Prisoner of Azkaban. The first two movies are okay, better for smaller children, but seem to be propelled too much by Chris Colombus's simplistic view of the Potter world.
Order of the Phoenix is a great condensed version of the book. When I heard that the larges book was going to be the shortest movie, I was very wary. The Movie, however, eliminates a lot of the not so crucial portions of the book like SPEW. I'm not going to give away everything that the movie is lacking, but most missing portions are not missed at all. I did, however, miss Ron and his Quidich Successes.
