Lord Voldemort has returned, but few want to believe it. In fact, the Ministry of Magic is doing everything it can to keep the wizarding world from knowing the truth - including appointing Ministry official Dolores Umbridge as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts. When Professor Umbridge refuses to train her students in practical defensive magic, a select group of students decides to learn on their own. With Harry Potter as their leader, these students (who call themselves 'Dumbledore's Army') meet secretly in a hidden room at Hogwarts to hone their wizarding skills in preparation for battle with the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters. . In the silver-screen adaptation of J.K. Rowling's HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX, the fifth chapter in the beloved book series, everyone's favorite wizard-in-training (Daniel Radcliffe) finds himself in increasingly perilous situations. Not only is Harry in trouble with the Ministry of Magic for using his abilities outside of school, his trusted mentor, Professor Dumbledore (Michael Gambon), has grown distant, and an icy new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton), has arrived to bring a frightening level of discipline to Hogwarts. And waiting in the shadows is the demonic Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes), an ominous figure whose very existence is questioned by the powerful Ministry, leaving Harry and his friends--most notably Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson)--to form a rebel group, Dumbledore's Army.
Helmed by little-known British director David Yates and written by Michael Goldenberg (the first scribe to fill the boots of Steve Kloves), THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX continues the darker tone of the two preceding POTTER installments and deftly follows Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they face new foes and impending adulthood. While Radcliffe, Grint, and Watson all continue to imbue their characters with vitality and complexity, Staunton steals the show as the strict, merciless Umbridge, though the story, which lacks some of the special-effects-heavy set pieces of past chapters, happily leaves room for other actors to shine, most notably Alan Rickman (as the ever-enigmatic Severus Snape), Gary Oldman (Sirius Black), David Thewlis (Remus Lupin), and Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange). Another fine offering of POTTER movie magic, PHOENIX may not astound quite the way that THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN did, but it easily stands as one of the best films in the series. Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix Reviews: "[Staunton's] showstopping Dolores slays her charges with pepperminty steeliness....The character is a Pepto-Bismol-tinted bolt of energy..." -- Grade: B+-- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly "[A] sleek, swift and exciting adaptation of J.K. Rowling's longest novel to date....A tense and twisty political thriller, with clandestine meetings, bureaucratic skullduggery and intimations of conspiracy hanging in the air."-- A. O. Scott, New York Times 3 stars out of 5 -- "PHOENIX is one of the stronger entries in the Potter cine-canon, fizzing with exceptional FX..."-- Matt Mueller, Total Film 3 stars out of 5 -- "The opening is fantastic, both stylish yet understated as it sees the magical and muggle world clash unexpectedly."-- Natalie Braine, Ultimate DVD "[T]his seems a return to the more straightforward action-adventure format of the first two Chris Columbus-directed films....[With] pacey action and CG thrills..."-- Vicky Wilson, Sight and Sound 4 stars out of 5 -- "The last act is the reward here, a series of breathtaking magical showdowns....This is a proper, grown-up adventure. And that bodes well for the films to come."-- Helen O'Hara, Empire Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix | List Price | $14.96 (You save $6.17) | | Studio | Warner Home Video | | Orig Year | 2007 | | All Time Sales Rank |  4030  | | CD Universe Part number | 7533438 | | Catalog number | 59326 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Dec 11, 2007 | | Rating | PG-13 (MPAA) | | Rating Reason | for sequences of fantasy violence and frightening images | | Running Time | 139 Minutes | | Additional Info | Widescreen; Dubbed | | Movie Details | Color; Widescreen; Dubbed |
Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix Video Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix Movie Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)  Azkaban's my favorite,but this ones good too!!!
The storyline is pretty bland compared to all of the other's,and was slow paced with no twists that I could really see.But this is also probably my second favorite Potter film,so far do to the visuals,and the Alfonzo Coronesk style that was even more sleek in this film.
I also liked some of the new character's.Especially the wierd blonde girl,and I think it could definately have replayability do to the lack of such a solid rememberable storyline.I mean much like music,if a song is totally stuck in you'r head.Why constantly listen to it.But if the song is good,but harder to remember.You might come back to it just to remember what it's about.

This review is for a different format.  One of the best if not the best Harry potter!!!
This one is good,but it remind's me a bit of a Lord of the ring's movie just by the pace.I think this movie's good because it's not as memorable as the rest.That could be good or bad.If you remember it real well,why ever watch it again.But this movie remind's me ever so slowly why it's cool.So in a way it has more playability.But all in all I liked it...

A very good film! Different but good!!!
A good film.To tell you the truth it remind's me more of a lord of the ring's movie.Just by the way the pace is.Not that that's bad.Just a little different.In some way's I think it increases the playability.I mean I really like part 3 Azkaban.But after you've seen it a couple of times.Much like the Matrix the plot is easy to remember.(spoiler)It all revolves around the time turner.But this doesn't revolve around really anything.So you have to watch it again to remember what it's about.So that could be good or bad.But I found it to be refreshing...

Adults who may have been turned off by the more kid-friendly elements of the first two Potter films should sit up and cheer; this fourth installment of Harry's adventures at the magic school of Hogwarts is more mature and darker than its immediate predecessor. This year, Hogwarts is hosting the Tri Wizard festival, and there may be a plot afoot to off Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) during the proceedings. Hermione (Emma Watson) finds a man worthy of her in competing Russian Quidditch champion Viktor ...
