Harry Potter Review

I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie. The previous film was mediocre at best. The Goblet of Fire contained very little special effects or magic in general. I mean it’s a movie about wizards. I need more magic than just a few sparkly butterflies. But I am glad to say that they came through with flying colors with The Order of the Phoenix.

Warning this post contains Order of the Phoenix Spoilers. I apologize for doing it but it was necessary. The filmmakers made an excellent movie but they forgot to film one thing and at the end of this article, I must rectify that.

This movie met all my criteria for a successful film. Here are the top ten reasons I think that Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was the best film this year:

1. It was Dark

2. It had a well developed plot, no irrational Disney Moments. His parents couldn’t save him this time.

3. They finally threw down with some real magic, no more child magic.

4. Sirius Black aka Gary Oldman.

5. Harry finally confronts the darkness inside himself.

6. It had great CGI.

7. Harry gets pissed.

8. It has a great message: Friendship is what defines us.

9. JK Rowling is hot.

10. We actually got to see the dark lord for a change even though he looks ridiculous with no nose.

As far as I could see, the movie only had one flaw. There was a character that consistently made headlines throughout most of the series. That man was one Sirius Black. And yet his greatest moment of the entire series was overlooked in the final headlines so here it is. I hope that it honors him.

Notorious wizard, Sirius Black was murdered today by his cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange. Reports from Azkaban Prison state that she recently followed in her cousin’s footsteps to become only the second person to ever escape from Azkaban. After escaping from Azkaban, she joined the recently returned Lord Valdemort in a battle against an underground wizard resistance group named the Order of the Phoenix. During the battle Ms. Strange murdered her cousin, Sirius Black. Witnesses report that she hexed Sirius in the back. Sirius Black is survived by his god son, Harry Potter.
