Whether you will enjoy Order of the Phoenix relies, I suspect, largely on whether or not you are a Harry Potter fan to begin with.

Consensus: It's not easy to take the longest Harry Potter book and streamline it into the shortest HP movie, but director David Yates does a bang up job of it, creating an Order of the Phoenix that's entertaining and action-packed.

Reviews for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
The Harry Potter movies that are based on J.K. Rowling's novels have gotten progressively darker with each entry, and Order of the Phoenix may quite possibly be the darkest one yet.

With the supremely evil Valdemort having put in an appearance at the end of the previous film, you might think it would be time to circle the wagons and start planning some defensive strategies ... but you would be wrong.

There's a nagging feeling of dad trying to rush the family on a vacation. If you hurry this much, you're bound to miss something and that keeps the Potter films away from greatness.

Though it may be blasphemous to say so, this is one movie that is superior to the book.

Only true fans of the books will notice many of these shortcomings, but I must hope that this was a fluke or misstep, not a sign of things to come.

...when it's finished, there is the lingering feeling that nothing has really happened.

Possibly more Dirty Harry than the usual beloved kid bestseller bespectacled wonder wizard, as a dark side kicks in and Harry's soul is on the line.

With a script heavy on exposition almost completely devoid of sustained action sequences, Harry's latest is long on spiel and short on spells.

Casting a cinematic spell, "Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix" rises to the top of this season's fantasy entertainment.

The good outweighs the bad by a wide margin, but just not quite enough to make this the best Harry Potter movie ever.
09/12/07
Definitely a much darker story than the first four, it is also richer and more compelling. (It's also the first one I really liked.)
09/01/07
Hogwarts instructors behave suspiciously (as usual). The youngsters spy on secret meetings (as usual), then break the rules for the greater good (as usual). It all comes down to a showdown between wizards (as usual).
08/22/07
Grossly misfired where its predecessors had so (seemingly) effortlessly gone before. I was taking the high quality of the Potter movies for granted, like a Pixar or an Aardman movie. Bring back Steve Kloves! Crucio!

Order of the Phoenix, for all its shortcomings, does make clear the sense of loss and struggle that comes with maturity.
08/16/07
Unlike the Star Trek films, the Harry Potter films excel in their odd-numbered outings. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is lighter and quicker than "Goblet of Fire" and ten times more enjoyable.
08/09/07
an exercise in patience and loyalty to have to sit through, at least for fans of the past two films
08/09/07
Every single Potter film is magical. Now they also seem to be getting more intelligent also.
