Don't bother, maybe the DVD will be better

Rating: 2/10 (29 July 2007)

this film has a lot missing. I have not read any of the books however this film has so many problems you can tell it has been cut to shreds. new characters appear and are not introduced. The flow of the story is shaky at best. The film is titled order of the phoenix but does very little to be involved regarding what the order of the phoenix is, who they are etc. It seems that the cinema's have been waiving their arms again not wanting long movies so they can have more showing which has completely destroyed this movie. I was very annoyed that although i had not read the book I could clearly see it had been hacked. Actual fans who read the book prepare to get upset.
