In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry returns for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts and discovers that much of the wizarding community has been denied the truth about his recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort. Fearing that Hogwarts' venerable Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, is lying about Voldemort's return in order to undermine his power and take his job, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, appoints a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher to keep watch over Dumbledore and the Hogwarts students. But Professor Dolores Umbridge's Ministry-approved course of defensive magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the dark forces threatening them and the entire wizarding community, so at the prompting of his friends Hermione and Ron, Harry takes matters into his own hands. Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name themselves "Dumbledore's Army," Harry teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts, preparing the courageous young wizards for the extraordinary battle that lies ahead.

Not as action packed as the goblet of fire but still entertaining for fans. Harry gets accustomed to the order of the pheonix who fought Lord Voldemort the last time he was present. Harry starts to build his own army though it was forbidden by new acting headmistress Delores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton) as she and the ministry refuse to accept the dark lords return is a reality as Dumbledor takes a leave of absence. The first battle between Harry and Voldemort begins at the headquarters of the ministry of magic. These films are getting darker. Enjoy

Better than some of the previous series, the film sets a good tone for the later films that have yet to come. I found that some elements of the film were very unclear and some of the plotholes were only filled in after read the book.

The picture and sound quality are adverage of what to expect to see on a DVD and the use of 5.1 surround is only noticable in some of the more action packed scenes.

The extras were nothing special, but for younger viewers they would no doubt be very entertaining.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars They just keep getting better and better
