Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix Movie
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more. It's not easy to take the longest Harry Potter book and streamline it into the shortest HP movie, but director David Yates does a bang up job of it,.
Harry's friends bravely agree to practice defensive spells to help him ward off Voldemort and his evil cohorts. In particular, Ron and Hermione refuse to let Harry go up against 'You Know Who' alone. Harry, his friends, and the Order of the Phoenix members act in a courageous, selfless manner, demonstrating perseverance and teamwork.
The movie's key lessons are that it's your choices and the actions you take that define you and that friends, family, and love make you more powerful than even the strongest evil. Parents need to know that, as has been the case with each succeeding movie, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix has its main characters taking on bigger challenges, with darker themes and more intense danger.
The climatic battle scenes with 'You Know Who' and his minions are downright frightening. Spoiler alert: There's a very upsetting (but bloodless) death of someone near and dear to Harry. As a result, he grows even more introspective and angry.
At the very least, he does enjoy his first kiss (no spoiler to Potterheads), and Ron and Hermione continue their flirtatious bickering. From the opening scene of HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX, in which Harry and portly dolt Dudley (Harry Melling) are attacked by Dementors, our courageous young hero has an ever-heightened awareness - and acceptance - of how his destiny is entwined with You Know Who's. In THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX, the fifth installment of 's seven-volume phenomenon, Harry, who survived his last confrontation with Voldemort but watched school favorite Cedric Diggory perish, is no longer a popular wizard genius. The Ministry of Magic mounts a smear attack against him and Professor Dumbledore , he is nearly expelled, Dumbledore avoids him, and new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Dolores Umbridge tries to squash the idea that the Dark Lord is back.
Sweetly odious Umbridge refuses to teach any defensive spells, so Hermione convinces Harry to hold secret classes in combat magic. Meanwhile, Umbridge, a child-hating, Ministry-approved enforcer, installs herself as dictator and launches a fascist campaign. In a climactic battle, Harry and friends face Voldemort's fearsome Death Eaters - like Azkaban escapee Bellatrix Lestrange and wicked Lucius Malfoy. There's a tragic (albeit expected) death and an even more tragic moment when Harry thinks he's alone and defeated. But Potter lovers know that Harry isn't ever alone: He has an entire world of devotees on his side. With this gripping film, there's no longer a doubt that - the character, as well as the - has grown up.
In this dark (even by Potter standards) and captivating new adventure, the kids face increasing peril, and the thrills intensify right up to the explosive ending. The gravity of the situation takes a front seat, with bureaucratic intrigue and boot-camp magic lessons overshadowing the brief romantic interest between Harry and Cho. Sure, Harry finally enjoys his first kiss, but the infatuation doesn't last.And forget about Quidditch, because director doesn't include any game sequences in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - or much of the Hogwarts social scene, for that matter, outside of the clandestine magic lessons. Those who haven't read the novels might hope for a Ron and Hermione hook-up, but apparently that's just not in the books.Families can talk about Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix's increasingly mature themes as Harry grows into a full-blown adolescent.
