Alright , but true to the book

Rating: 7/10 (9 September 2014)

Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix is a real war movie. In this movie it is more about human rights but also about the first confrontation between the wizards.
In many ways the fifth film is a difficult battle for Harry. On a mental way he the fifth story is a very hard year for Harry. And when you make an movie of a book you have to take the most important parts of the book and bring that in the film. And I think they did a very good job on bringing this mental battle of Harry on screen. Than I am talking about Harry's moments with Umbridge, The battle between Harry and Voldemort when there is an inside battle but of course also the nightmares harry has. Another important thing that had to be included was the death of Sirius Black. Sirius was Harry's father figure and as Harry has many father figure's and I think it was a very interesting thing that Harry loses those people. Which means at a certain point he is no soldier anymore, he isn't the hero who is under the orders and rules of his guidance. He has to make his own choices. Sirius death was a very important thing with that. and in the books you really see they are building up a relationship which also transferred on screen. That was nice to see.
So looking at the story line they did a good job. I personally don't like the fifth book very much but they chose for the most important moments in the film, which was good. I think the cast did a very great job performing in this film. I liked Gary Oldman , Imelda Staunton in this movie. I think Daniel Radcliffe was absolutely great in this film there were some very difficult scene's for an actor. He was great! The best part of the film is obviously the fighting in the ministry, the special effects were amazing, most of all the scene between Dumbledore vs Voldemort. Great job David Yates. Only I wasn't satisfied about the music in the film. I missed John Williams.
Eventually I can say 8 out of 10 : Because of the strong emotional scenes and that they produced such a big book into a good movie, true to the book.
