DISCLAIMER: All that I stated there is just my opinion and it also contains SPOILERS to the actual scenes of the movie. So BEWARE to those who don't want to be SPOIL in this movie, and to those who watched this movie, Be FREE to READ it.


Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is another Sci Fi film and another continuation of the first 4 films of Harry Potter Series, in which it talks about a boy named, Harry Potter who he didn't know was a celebrity in the wizarding world. He was the only wizard that survives the killing curse of Lord Voldemort. He was now 3rd year in Hogwarts along with his only friends, Hermione and Ron, who joined him in another adventurous life in the wizarding world.


For this fifth year of Harry in Hogwarts, there has been anomaly to his life as a student. After he uses the Patronus Charm with a presence of a Muggle (which is Dudley) against the 2 dementors, he was faced with a great conviction, breaking the Decree of Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery because he was not at the right age to use magic.

So Dumbledore was against with this law and confronts the minister to remove all charges, because of what Harry did doesn't have a choice but to conjure a Patronus in order to save his cousin's life and himself. Despite of Cornelius Fudge's disagreement, many people inside the trial agreed to what Dumbledore was saying, and decided to dismissed all charges accused to Harry.



What I noticed in Harry's character is that he was somewhat "preventing to talk to anyone" because of what he had experienced last year. This hinders him to talk to his friends, Ron and Hermione but he just shut up, and do nothing about it. Harry has experienced a lot this past years, and his nightmares always haunts him, the night when Cedric Diggory died. He was afraid of Voldemort, using him again, and let someone die because of him. Despite of his attitude, Ron and Hermione were always there to support and protect him no matter what.



A sudden change happen in Hogwarts this past few days, there is a new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher

named Dolores Umbridge from the ministry of magic. This subject who requires an application turns out to be a reading and writing lesson, Harry was furious about it, insisting that Lord Voldemort has risen again, leads him to detention. Hermione for the first time, leads a rebel group to fight alongside with Dumbledore as his army to fight the Lord Voldemort and his followers. That group was named D.A (Dumbledore's Army) and the teacher was Harry Potter himself since Hermione believed that he has a lot of experience dealing with dark arts. As for the record it all went well, Neville found the Room of Requirement, in which Harry and all the members of the D.A. practices secretly. Dolores Umbridge was taking over the school because of her capability to request in the Ministry of Magic ASAP, and later on she became the headmaster of Hogwarts just like that.

Half of the movie was awesome despite Harry's being alone for some reason, although J.K. Rowling chose Harry to be like that because he was a man and a man's personalities was unpredictable. These personalities, hiding his feeling to his friends makes him vulnerable even more. Luna Lovegood, a Ravenclaw witch who told Harry to talked it out to his friends than being secluded from his own problems.

Weird dreams and nightmares overshadowed Harry until on a dream Mr. Weasley was there, Nagini, Lord Voldemort's pet attacked him and the way Harry see it, it was shown to him in his first point of view perspective.


The movie was epic, all of the fight scenes as describe in the movie was the same although some of the scenes which I think they didn't include because of the long time it consume. But all in all, it was great and tragic at the same time because Sirius was dead and Harry got to spent his time again in his pesky rude muggle neighbores in the Privet Drive.


I rated this movie 9/10, the sound effects was suitable in every scene which needs it, and the way Daniel Radcliffe acted on every time Harry has a nightmare was so good and it shows proper emotion on how it was described in the movie. Although as I remember it Harry in the book when he had a dream about Mr. Weasley getting killed by Nagini, he vomited and Neville was the one who saw Harry that he was sick for some reason. But in the film they skipped that scene for some reason and instead of Neville, Ron saw him along with Hermione and bring Harry from Professor Mcgonigall and then to Dumbledore's Office. I love how Ron and Hermione also progresses as this film continues, I hope their relationship can move on to the next level, higher than being friends. I hope the next series of the movie will become better and more magical than the last.
