"Great Novie"
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Thank you for the DVD. I did receive it on time but had a hard time getting to send a feed back. I like the movie and I would order from you again. Thank yuu again.

"Raises the Bar"
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix begins on Privet Drive when Harry and his muggle cousin Dudley are attacked by a pair of dementors trying to eat their souls. Harry fends them off with a patronus charm, but is held on trial for illegal magic. This pretty much sets the tone for the movie, which means a pretty crappy year for Harry and his friends. He gets off and returns to Hogwarts, only to find that their new teacher, Dolores Umbridge, is a ministry toady, Hagrid is gone, and everybody outside his circle of friends thinks he's crazy.
I found this movie to be the best of the series since Chris Columbus left the director's chair. Compared to the last two, there are especially few "WTF" moments. The new characters, Luna Lovegood and Prof. Umbridge, filled their roles excellently. The special effects and set design were implemented well. The little details really make the movie. The two disc special edition has a lot of fun extras, including a tour of the set with Natalia Tena (Tonks).
Although I enjoyed the movie, I feel like it was squeezed down with the fewest possible essential plot points. The spotlight is on Harry for most of the movie, with other characters having their essential developing moments grossly simplified or cut all together. It even seems like Ron and Hermione get hardly any lines at all. My personal favorite part in the book, the battle at the Department of Mysteries, was probably abbreviated the worst. The scene changes from Hogwarts to the Hall of Prophecy before you can say "What happened to the Department of Mysteries?".
I was torn on what score to give this movie. It's much better than the last two and probably almost as good as it could be, considering how long the book is. I enjoyed this movie, but I can see why some fans wouldn't.


"Blu-ray is by far the superior format for this title"
I am a scientist (molecular biology), but by nature experiment in many areas of day to day life. In this experiment I took my older wide screen DVD of the order of the Phoenix and watched it on my Samsung player, with new surround sound bar. Next I took my just arrived Blu-ray of the same title and watched it. The results show The Blu-ray was far superior in both audio and Vidio. I chose this title for the experiment because you can watch it twice without falling asleep. The special effects are excellrnt. So I highly recommend this title in Blu-ray.

"a suprisingly good movie"
"Harry Potter snd the Order of the Phoenix" is a suprisingly good movie. I enjoyed it, very much. This director managed to zero in on the important stuff and present it concisely and well.

Of course, it does help if you have read the book. But, this movie is nearly of stand-alone quality.

I recommend this movie. However, the ending has some darkness in it. So, perhaps those under 15 should not be allowed to see the movie until parents can judge the level of darkness for themselves.

"sensible"
Confronted with the huge fifth episode of the Potter's series the authors did the only thing possible: they cut, mercilessly.

I know, I know, most of Rowling's fans will hate me for saying this and I am not saying that they could not have cut differently, but there is no way the whole of the book could have come into the movie even if the movie had been an hour longer. Even in the first movie there were no menial cuts despite the first episode being short and straight forward.

Personally speaking I disagree about the choice of making this fifth episode the classical, all American instance of the all American underdog, e.g. Harry who at the start of the movie is laughed at or condescended upon even by his protectors and then shows everybody how right he was. Some seeds of this are in the book itself but Ms Rowling was so much more interested (too interested unfortunately) in underlining his isolation, his solitude, his desperation.

I disagree with the choice of making a complete fool of Sybil Cooman: she knows very well she is not a greet seeress, she is frustrated, not ridiculous. Ms Thompson of course is a superb actress, even in the questionable and questionably deleted scene of the dessert.

I disagree with the decision of making a raving lunatic of Bellatrix: in the books she is obsessed and evil, not ranting. The capabilities of Ms Bonham Carter are wasted.

The cuts to the insufferable love ramblings of the characters (the thing I hated in the book) are merciful as, for different reasons, are those to the character of Umbridge. Ms Staunton is a distinguished actress and because of this she perfectly conveys the repulsive character she is playing: more of it would have been too much to bear.

All in all the movie was good but not breathtaking: it renders the gloom atmosphere allright but it has no cutting edge. When Fred and George leave the school the real sense of a school which, because of the ministry, has failed to educate two young men who are better off by themselves than in such a setting should be unbearably bitter. What do we have instead? Very nice special effects and a laughter or two.

Only when Luna Lovegood is in the spotlight things change: she was the most exquisite character of the book and she is the main feature here: the authors managed to render her being an outsider and the actress is so good as to give her lines their full meaning. Only her permed hair does not make any sense. Of course... could Luna be played by a girl with wavy hair? I think not... ... LOL

What our customer's say!

"One of the best-looking Blu-Rays; great adaptation of the book", This is one of the best-looking Blu-Ray movies out there. The battle in the Ministry will wow you if you've got an HDTV and a Blu-Ray player.

The movie should have been longer, and they left out some important stuff, but I prefer the movie's version of the events that transpired in the Department of Mysteries and the battle.

A fantastic movie overall, and a Blu-Ray that should definitely be in your collection if you're looking for the 'wow factor'.

"Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix", I really enjoy ordering products from Amazon. I enjoyed this movie very much. It was delivered to me in about three days. I also like to be able to order products in advance before they are published.

"Sent back, but never replaced", I received an odd version of the DVD - it could not be played on either our Mac, or our PC. It wobbled in the Mac, and kept stopping in the PC. We've had no problems with DVD's since. When I called up to complain, the sender very respectfully offered to replace it.
However, I sent it back a few weeks ago and have received neither replacement nor explanation. Maybe there was an oversight, but whatever it was, I never got to watch the movie.


"Harry Potter, The Order of the Phoenix", I love Sci-Fi, Wizards, and Adventure stories like Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Complex adventures like Indiana Jones and the Hunt for Red October (Tom Clancey). They take to places I have never been away from my dull existence. I can't wait to see the next Harry Potter, The Half-Blood Prince!
Product received in good condition within a week . Thanks!

"Harry realizes how fear of evil's return acts as rot upon even the best of intentions", That age-old method by which a viewer or reader dismisses an interpretative form of art--based upon the superiority of its alter-ego--has personally always mystified me, as comparing a book to a movie seems inherently illogical. The internal monologue character's have with themselves can never be adequately transmitted onto the silver screen without extending the movie to a running time of several days. Likewise, facial expressions and nuances of body language portrayed by actors can only be transferred to the page by the most gifted of authors. In other words, saying that "the book was better" seems a bit off, rationally-speaking.

Well, this time the book is not better. J.K Rowling's fifth book in the popular "Harry Potter" series was a bloated, rambling affair which entertained only if you were able to "buzz" through the chaff. Director David Yates cuts through the fluff, strengthens the plotline, and improves the focus of a story which desperately required such changes. Fans need not worry--although there are some noticeable changes, the movie remains true to the book.

The film opens with Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and his semi-relative Dudley again about to lock horns when the duo is attacked by Dementors, those demonic Azkaban guards capable of instilling everlasting ennui in the minds of their victims. Harry uses the Patronus charm to dispel the fiends, thus saving his own and Dudley's souls. Unfortunately, the usage of magic off the grounds of Hogwarts in the presence of Muggles is strictly forbidden for underage spellcasters, thus provoking Harry's immediate expulsion from school. Luckily, he is permitted an appeal before the Ministry of Magic, where he possesses as ace-in-the-hole the most influential wizard alive: Professor Dumbledore (Michael Gambon). From there, the protagonist is thrust into a dazzling game of political brinksmanship, where the players are willing to evade facts to retain a feeling of security. However, the fate of the world remains unclear, ignored by those seeking to play their games and hide from one, terrible truth: Lord Voldemort has returned.

Defense Against the Dark Arts instructors are changed as rapidly as "Harry Potter" movie directors, and we find the same in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton), an associate of Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, has accepted the position, and quickly reveals herself to be short on instruction and long on malice. In the name of efficiency, she enacts as series of increasingly-stifling edicts, targets Harry for punishment whenever he professes that Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) is gathering his forces, and attempts to undermine Professor Dumbledore's authority. The truly vile nature of this character does not come across as clearly in the movie as in the text, and that is probably a good thing--this creation from Rowling's imagination is a near-sociopath who inflicted many readers with a desire to reach through the pages to strangle her. The lengths to which she and Fudge go to suppress the truth conjure up the ghosts of Neville Chamberlain and Joe McCarthy in the mind of the viewer. That she believes she is a force of good in the struggle against the dark is a terrifyingly subtle commentary on the real nature of delusion. As an aside, if you would enjoy seeing a situation in which not one, but two characters like Umbridge do not get their comeuppance, may I gingerly suggest watching "Funny Games."

Of course, Harry is not without allies as he remains stalwart. His twin pillars of fortitude, Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), provide much-needed reservoirs of strength to our hero as he confronts Umbridge, Voldemort, and a deadly new horror: first love. Heroism itself is examined thoroughly in the film, and is shown to contain several sharp edges us mundane citizens may never understand. He sees that his peers expect him to lead, to save others, to sacrifice his normal life, and to triumph against the forces of night. Indeed, he is coming closer to an ultimate epiphany: that his life is, figuratively and literally, not his own to live. His existence is irrevocably tied to his duty, and coming to gripes with this fact is something with which Harry struggles constantly. Unfortunately, his personal demons are sharing space with some real-world evil entities--one of which who may just be able to read Harry's thoughts.

"The Order of the Phoenix" is dark without being dreary. Harry's relationship with his fugitive uncle Sirius Black (Gary Oldman), his bittersweet attempt at romance, and the antics of the Weasley twins help balance the tone of the film. The set design is uniformly impressive, and the realism of the otherworldly creatures can easily suspend one's disbelief. There were a few sections from the book that I would have preferred included in the film; nevertheless, one's enjoyment is preserved throughout the entirety of the movie, despite the disappearance of a certain screaming portrait. The acting is quite good, with the exception of some of the actors portraying Aurors and Deatheaters. In summary, all of our favorite friends have returned to populate a realm which exists only in Rowling's mind, yet Yates makes them seem real enough to the rest of us Muggles. This is one of the better film translations thus far, and well-worth the time of any aficionado of mysteries from the magical world.

"I am afraid to watch the last two brought to film after this one", First off i adore the books. I've watched all the harry potter films because as bad as they are, i want to see what they did to it and i wasnt disappointed. This movie has so much fodder people were tripping over it in the theater aisles. Knowing that this was the longest book in the series some things were bound to be omitted. But the screenwriters keep making the same mistake. They cut out parts of the book that lead one to the other. This movie was extremely short but it doesnt feel like it. I kept looking at my watch and being surpriseed 2 hours hadnt passed. I'm a diehard of the books so i'm not going to be pleased completely but that doesnt mean i can't find it watchable. I enjoyed the 3rd movie immensely but it just gets worse when the books get darker and darker. Heres hoping they dont ruin the final 2 movies.

"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Review", This product came on time. however the hd dvd side has some scuffs on the cd and in certin spots it would not play.

"Harry Potter DVD", Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Full-Screen Edition)
in good condition and in time

"Not quite the book", Like the widescreen but still not the same as the book. Still one of my most favorite movies series of all time. Cant wait for more.

"Enjoyable entertainment for all ages", If you enjoy fantasy , are 'young at heart' or just want a fun evening's entertainment, then the Harry Potter series of videos is just right. Without spending a lot of time on the literary merits, these are stories of good versus bad and one can watch a Harry Potter movie on different levels. From the simple to the complex and the story, actors and scenery are fun and interesting.

Looking forward to the next in the series!
