When the storm that Hagrid predicts finally breaks, students including Neville (Lewis), Luna (Lynch) and Cho (Leung) join forces with Harry's godfather Sirius Black (Oldman), Remus Lupin (Thewlis) and their kin to face Voldemort (Fiennes) and his dark army. She sets in motion a devastating chain of events that changes school life forever. The evidence that the dark lord is back in incontrovertible!" - he is ousted from his seat, replaced by Professor Umbridge (Staunton). When headmaster Dumbledore (Gambon) adds his voice to the ground swell of concerned wizards and witches - "Cornelius, I implore you. Harry (Radcliffe) and loyal chums Ron (Grint) and Hermione (Watson) find that news of Harry's encounter with Voldemort is being roundly dismissed by key figures including sanctimonious Minister For Magic, Cornelius Fudge (Hardy).

We'd all best be ready," warns Hagrid (Coltrane), as students return for a new term at Hogwarts.

Yet for all of the visual splendour and sterling performances, this fifth film is all gloss and scant emotion. The infamous kiss with Cho Chang is artfully staged, without a single hesitation or nervous clattering of noses you smooth devil, Harry. He has finally realised that when it comes to acting in front a camera, which picks up every subtle shift of emotion, less is more. Production values are gloriously high, from Stuart Craig's production design to Stephanie McMillan's impeccable set decoration and Jany Temime's lustrous costumes.Įven Daniel Radcliffe's pivotal performance as the eponymous wizard, which undermined some of the earlier films, has improved greatly. Hermione fares slightly better - she at least gets to accompany Harry on his late night excursion into the Forbidden Forest. Poor Ron is shoved so far into the background he may as well not be in the film at all, save for a couple of crisp one-liners and a perfunctory scene to support his best mate Harry when the rest of Hogwarts is turning against him. The focus is on Harry, largely at the expense of peripheral players, including Professors Snape and McGonagall and the demented Bellatrix Lestrange. Screenwriter Michael Goldenberg has trimmed away much of the fat of JK Rowling's bloated 768-page tome, concentrating on key events and characters. WIDELY considered to be the weakest book in the seven-part odyssey of boy wizard Harry Potter, it seems somewhat fitting that the film version of The Order Of The Phoenix is, in some respects, the least satisfying instalment too.
