What to Know

Critics 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.

Deborah Ross The Spectator 08/23/2018
Traditional drama is usually a three-act deal: set-up, conflict, resolution. But this is the three-act deal every two minutes. Danger, baddie, magic. Danger, baddie, magic. Danger, baddie, magic. It's as tired as it is tiresome. Go to Full Review Bruce Diones The New Yorker 11/26/2013
By focussing the story on Harry (a leaner and slightly meaner Daniel Radcliffe) and his exploits, Yates dispenses with many of the novel's subplots and is able to push the story forward, ominously foreshadowing the dark times to come. Go to Full Review Wally Hammond Time Out 11/17/2011
4/5
Performances are more mature, the soundtrack (by Nicholas Hooper) less grandiose, and Yates executes some thrilling set-pieces. Go to Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn 04/02/2025

I found this incredibly redundant and the pacing was painfully slow at times. I wish this was more visually enthralling. Go to Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn 04/02/2025
3/5
The CGI doesn't hold up well but the performances of Rickman and Staunton are great. It's one of the better Harry Potter films. Go to Full Review Rachel LaBonte Screen Rant 09/13/2024
