Review about Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix


I love to read the Harry Potter books over and over again! You can’t stop reading them. But the movies are also great. There are 5 movies out now. The last one was Harry potter and the order of the phoenix. But the best movie of the five, in my opinion was the prisoner of Azkaban. I’ve read the last book ( that’s book 7, Harry Potter and the deathly hollows) in English, because I could not wait for the Dutch version.

But I was going to talk about Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix. When I had seen de movie I was a little bit disappointed. In de beginning is was going so quick. It seemed that the director had a check list or something, of the scenes that he wanted in the movie. But he sort of glued it at each other. I think it was not understandable for people who didn’t read the book. It’s also difficult for the director, the story was very long, and then it’s impossible for the director to get every detail of the book in it. There were a lot of new characters in the movie. For example Luna Lovegood, she was played very good by Evanna Lynch.
But if you look at the scenes, there were a lot of very beautiful parts in the movie:
When the characters form the army of Dumbledore, and they fight at each other, they are training spells.
And At the end of the movie when Dumbledores army fights against the death eaters in the ministry of magic, that’s a very beautiful scene! That black and white shades you see in that scene and also the music that was in that part was nice.
After al I liked the movie, but the books are the best. I recommend you, read the books first and then watch the movies. You will understand them better.
