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 the teenager's 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 Defence 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.

I really like playing Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. There are loads of different missions to do and lots of classes to attend. It can get a bit annoying with all the travelling you have to do, but I like running up and down the moving staircases. I think it would be very boring if you just zapped yourself to various places. The school is huge and there are loads of different places to go to. The missions arn't that easy so it doesn't get boring. I don't know what the other reviewers are saying because I think it is a fantastic game. The camera angles can be annoying but I wouldn't have that put you off the game.
A generous rating!

This game was a huge let down, the awful camera angles are frustrating, as are the people that get in your way as you try to move anywhere. Very simple tasks that involve a lot of useless running around are boring and soon completed.
The use of the stylus is well done for spell casting and mini games but that is the games only saving grace!
I suggest renting if you really want to play but if you're a fan of the previous games you're going to be disappointed as I was!
Rubbish!

This game was a big let down. Mini games are v. simple and all you seem to do is run around hogwarts with people following you that often get in the way. The duelling is also very boring and quite restrictive and if you are unable to beat someone then you can't move on unless you beat them so it takes forever to get past sections. It is also very annoying that u can't save the game until you complete a whole challenge so you have to keep playing and then it doesnt tell you when ot has saved so you sometimes end up completing the same challenges again!!!
