"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"
Latest ‘Potter’ has some magic
Plot: When we last left Harry Potter, Cedric Diggory was dead and no one believed that Lord Voldemort is back. Harry’s fifth year in school brings another Defense of the Dark Arts teacher in Dolores Umbridge, who has been brought to Hogwarts by Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic. Dolores attempts to take control of Hogwarts as Harry, Ron and Hermione decide to form an army to defend themselves from the coming of the Death Eaters and Voldemort.
Who’s it for: Each movie is a little darker and for a little older crowd, but luckily kids have been growing up with Harry and have probably read the books.
Expectations: Historically, I have gotten used to the fact that the movies just don’t fully capture the feelings of the books. Plus, before I see a movie I have to read refreshers since it’s very easy to confuse the timelines of the books with the movies. Remember, the seventh and final book is about to be released and this movie is the fifth.

I just saw it today (trial closed on Friday; still waiting on a verdict). I actually enjoyed it very, very much. Maybe it was all the dialogue straight from the book (there's a ton), or maybe it was the new sets (the Ministry was so cool).
But mostly, it was probably the thought of Book 7 in only a few days!
