The good one !

Good movie

as expected very good

Good movie go for every Harry Potter dvd

It's not good, lots of scratch on the vcd, it stoped, when we play. Very bad , very bad.

The dvd is not english . its hindi dubbed that was not mentioned.

My son and I loved this movie -- and will be eagerly awaiting seeing it again when he is 12 or 13. Obviously each year at Hogwart's brings a level of maturity in the characters, but that is marked in this one. They portray that realistic, uneasy sense of the changes in how the boys and girls relate to each other now. There is a greater depth in the relationships overall. And the coming to terms of each character's possible mortality at any turn, as well as coming to terms with the "Good vs Bad" dichotomy failing miserably in a complex world. But most notable is the extended culminating battle. Because the characters on BOTH sides have revealed so much more than previously, as well as how it just wears the viewer down as it goes on and on, this round sinks in to a deeper level than previously, and I felt it thus had more potential to really unnerve younger viewers in the long run. This has been one of my favorites of the series. It is also where I choose to cut off my 9 year old from watching any further until he's older.

The 5th Harry Potter book is my favorite and I was extremely excited about the movie and prayed that the director wouldnt screw it up. So now, months after seeing a midnight showing, I am still in utter shock. I dont WANT to hate this movie because it is Harry Potter after all. But I cant but cringe whenever I think about it. Basically, they turned the longest book into the shortest movie. Appalling, horrendous, wrong. It was like a ridiculously abridged version of Order of the Phoenix. People around me in the theater were also aware of this as scenes jarred from one to another without flow or reason. If you have never read the book, you probably wound't notice just how much they cut out. Or changed. The changes were awful and unfortunetely, certain aspects that they either changed or left out are crucial to the final book. So I dont understand the reasoning. I could go on and on but I dont want to relive it.. The one plus I do have is that the acting dramatically improved by the younger actors. I did notice it right away and am glad of that anyway. Oh and Umbridge was spot on. Well! Thats about it, really. I now have doubts about the 6th movie, being made by the same director and all...We shall see. Oh, also, the deleted scenes on the dvd are absolutely pointless. I mean, not 1 has any merit or importance to it. I at least hoped those would help out the movie in some way, but no, they sure didnt. I gave it 3 stars because although I dont hate the movie per se, I am quite dissapointed about it, and well, if you're a Harry Potter fan, you cant really hate it.

It strikes me that J.K. Rowling has written each successive book for a slightly older child, and parents should purchase each book/movie roughly a year apart as their child grows older. This movie follows the book as closely as possible. Just as in "Goblet of Fire," though, the movie must focus on the main storyline, Harry's fight for the truth of Voldemort's return. Harry is still tormented by the death of Cedric Diggory, and his brush with Voldemort. Now he finds he is being blackballed by the ministry itself. Not surprising he is angry. Imelda Staunton is very good as the dutiful public servant who will happily torture for the public good. This is the most important thing this movie/book says. Beware those who say the end justifies the means. Beware those who quash the truth to maintain an illusion of order. Special effects in the movie are mostly at the end. The caverous hall of prophecy crashing down is amazing. However, the battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort was changed. In the book, Dumbledore uses the statues in the fountain to fend off Voldemort's attack, confounding him. In the movie he barely survives Voldemort's attack. All in all, this movie is my least favorite. Rowling has written a morality tale, and this book/movie explores some of the seedier side of humanity. Better your children should learn these things before they face them as adults.

I made the mistake of not ordering the two-disc edition. Don't you do it, too. To all those who slag Sir Michael Gambon's Dumbledore vs Richard Harris': Get Over It! I loved Richard Harris, from THE SPORTING LIFE to the two MAN CALLED HORSE films, to his wonderful role as English Bob in UNFORGIVEN. God knows, I bought the LP A Tramp Shining when MacArthur Park was new, but Richard Harris is dead and gone, and Gambon is doing a fine job. Of course, it would be tough not to enjoy anyone in the role of Dumbledore unless they were totally inept or Dog The Bounty Hunter. Tell you what, Richard Harris can portray Albus Dumbledor in DEATHLY HALLOWS, ok? Evanna Lynch was great as Luna Lovegood, although I kept thinking of her as Moon Unit. I'd been waiting for Helena Bonham Carter to make some sort of an appearance in the series, and she didn't disappoint: her Bellatrix LeStrange was horrid(in a wonderfully ee-vill way). The transformation of Harry Melling's Dudley Dursley from spoilt & pampered boy to Yobbo was well done. As many other reviewers have harped on, the film of Order Of The Phoenix is too short, and there are some little things that annoyed me, such as an obvious cost-cutting move when Sirius Black visits Harry through the fire in Harry & Ron's room, and how could they have ignored the fact that former Gryffindore prefect Percy Weasley was now a minion of the Ministry of Magic?. I, too, miss Quidditch, but I miss Chris Columbus' direction far more. So does this movie.

Like others, I have mixed feelings about this film. I took me a long time to be convinced to read the books, but I always loved the films. Order of the Phoenix is stylistically stunning in many ways, but lacks some character development needed to fuel the plots of the next two films. I can deal with no qwidditch, etc. but the lack of time spent with the characters in the order, the house elves, and Grimwald (sp?) place give the film a stunted quality generally apparent whether one is a huge fan or not. Director David Yates has come in from TV feeling that the other films were too long...Prisoner of Azkaban is only 2.20...too long? Since when did a Potter fan want less. The fans who have not read the books will suffer most: not having any real affection for Tonks and Shacklebolt will leave them confused. Also, reacquaintence with Serious, Mad-Eye, and Lupin is definately necessary considering (SPOILER ALERT) the death of Serious and beyond. Not to mention the shame of not utilizing Gary Oldman and David Thewelis' considerable skills. Of course, I am buying it despite these critisisms and hoping David Yates takes to heart the desires of his audience. Less is more, but not when it comes to content.
