Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Director: David Yates
Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson
Plot outline: Harry deals with teen angst as well as the return of Voldemort and scorn from the Ministry during his fifth year at Hogwarts.
I think I should begin by saying that I have been a fan of the series since I was 10, and that I hate movies based on well known books in general. I should also warn you that every Harry Potter-movie so far have been monumentally disappointing to me, simply because they can never live up to my own perception of the books. Having said that, I hated this as much as the others. I am fully aware that this opinion isn't exactly based on a fair assessment, but in the case of these movies, I can't be bothered to care. Yes, I'm biased, so what? If I should make one objective observation, however, it would be that if I hadn't read the books, I would probably be very confused after seeing the movie; the different scenes felt isolated from each other, and I had difficulties putting them together to form a coherent story. I filled in the gaps with what I knew from the books - but what about those who haven't read it?
