well everyone, it's time to face the David Yates half of the series. where too much is stuffed and made quick and is only partially made up by the fact that they slit the last book in two. So let us begin with round five of my Potter Marathon with The Order of the Phoenix.
Plot:When Harry uses a Patronus charm in front of Dudley in order to save both of them from two Demontors, Harry is at first expelled from Hogwarts. But after the matter is put on trial, he is cleared of charges but along the way, becomes aware of how many Witches and Wizards in the magical world think Harry and Dumbledore are lying about Voldemort's return after the Ministry of Magic denies it completely. back at Hogwarts, the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge appoints Dolores Umbridge the new Defense Against The Dark teacher of the school. Umbridge not only believe that Harry and Dumbledore are lying but she refuses to teach her class due to her belief that Dumbledore is forming a rebellion and so Harry and the other students have to use a secret room to learn defense against the dark arts.
As enjoyable as the film...mostly is once you get over the downs to it, the fact remains that there are downs. They do take things a little quickly. not too quickly but it was enough at the time for some of us to be concerned. But at the same time, they still kept it fairly organized, they gave us a really good start of the idea of actual magical battle in this Magical world, and they had a very good way of introducing characters like Tonks and Bellatrix.
Acting/Characters:
Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson/ Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger: There was nothing new about them. in a way they were just doing the same thing. I mean it's not bad, but they didn't completely give us something new.
Imelda Staunton/Dolores Umbridge: She did her part so well, that i'd love to do so many things that character that i hate her so much. I mean Umbridge is so evil that if it didn't mean going to Azkaban or be found as evil in any way, i'd crucio that b word tot he point where she's so insane that she makes Neville's parents look like the most sane people in the world, and at the same time i'd grab her throat attempting to rip half of it out of her body. that sounds a little far, but that's my choice of torture because she is really evil with every inch of her and every sound of her voice. so in other words Staunton did a good job with that character.
Evanna Lynch/Luna Lovegood: She was a very good choice for the character. She acts so strange but that is what makes her so lovable.
Helena Bonham Carter/Bellatrix Lestrange: Carter really does an excellent job for this character. She's so evil that you wonder how it's going to go down in the final film.
Music: not bad. I think my favorite parts are the Battle at the Ministry of Magic and that theme for the Weasley Twins.
Editing: eh. it was okay. like I said, a little quick but that's not entirely the editor's fault.
And that is my review for Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix. just two - technically three more reviews to go before the final film.
