delightful indeed

Rating: 9/10 (6 August 2007)

With a very impressive directing, flawless acting skills and, precision in technical data OOTP deserves accolades or higher ratings when compared to the previous movies of this enchanting series (with an exception of POA).
But when it comes to certain details of events in the book, the movie fails to impress Harry potter fans, like for example the st mungo's hospital has been totally eliminated in the movie ,still the most necessary event that occurs in the hospital which is the history of Neville's parents is not lost . Another problem it faces is the pace at which events happen which happens to be skyrocketing in a baffling yet understandable way (hence those haven't read the book is in for utter confusion) .the visual effects are just beyond comparison with any other movie (Fred and George's weasleys fireworks are fantabulous). The final showdown that takes place at the ministry was deliberate but still impressive.
This part of the series was hilarious in many ways and mostly triggered by umbridge (the new teacher for the so told jinxed post of defense against dark arts).taking into account the fact that this book in particular is longest of all the books from the 7part series, the director did a pretty appreciable job. All in all hp fans are in for a visual treat, comparatively less disappointment whereas a fan with no knowledge of the stuff from the book is bound to get confused but still a visual feast awaits.
