Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Full-Screen Edition)
in good condition and in time
DVD Review: Not quite the book
Summary: 4 Stars
Like the widescreen but still not the same as the book. Still one of my most favorite movies series of all time. Cant wait for more.DVD Review: Enjoyable entertainment for all ages
Summary: 4 Stars
If you enjoy fantasy , are 'young at heart' or just want a fun evening's entertainment, then the Harry Potter series of videos is just right. Without spending a lot of time on the literary merits, these are stories of good versus bad and one can watch a Harry Potter movie on different levels. From the simple to the complex and the story, actors and scenery are fun and interesting.
Looking forward to the next in the series!
DVD Review: Excellent edition.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had previously only watched the standard DVD edition of the film, which was a really bad transfer, very noisy. This transfer, however, is stunningly crisp. Blu-ray also offers a much better interaction with the menus. Even if you already own a copy of this movie on DVD, I would suggest you get the Blu-ray version. You won't be disappointed.DVD Review: Not the best Potter flick
Summary: 3 Stars
After the last performance I couldn't wait to see this. Unfortunately this is the worst DVD of the series. Everyone said it was darker. I thought they meant more "evil" or more "adult" not in the literal sense that there wasn't any color in the footage. What did they turn the lights out to cut budgeting cost? I had to readjust the settings on my plasma just to see what is going on. And most of the lines were not even audible enough to hear what was going on. I had to turn subtitles on. If you plan on watching this seriously put subtitles on and see just how much you miss if they weren't on. If you already watched it and can bear a 2nd viewing try it with subtitles on.
Good points were seeing A giant and some Centaurus. A great scene with spectacular fireworks and another with a visually amazing spell casting magic duel. (hmm both color scenes?)
Aside from the visual and audible disappointments this DVD was slow moving and the story line of "the ministry denying acknowledging the return of "He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named!" was boring. Also since it took so long for this sequel to get to theaters (probably because everyone couldn't see what they were doing during the recording of the film in the dark) delaying the DVD release I forgot what was going on since the last DVD. I don't go to theaters to watch the movies so from the point of the last DVD to this DVD release my memory has faded.
Description of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Combo HD DVD and Standard DVD) [HD DVD]
Lord Voldemort has returned, but few want to believe it. In fact, the Ministry of Magic is doing everything it can to keep the wizarding world from knowing the truth - including appointing Ministry official Dolores Umbridge as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts. When Professor Umbridge refuses to train her students in practical defensive magic, a select group of students decides to learn on their own. With Harry Potter as their leader, these students (who call themselves "Dumbledore's Army") meet secretly in a hidden room at Hogwarts to hone their wizarding skills in preparation for battle with the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters. . New adventure - more dangerous , more thrilling than ever - is yours in this enthralling film version of the fifth novel in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. A terrifying showdown between good and evil awaits. Prepare for battle!DVD Features:

Alas! The fifth Harry Potter film has arrived. The time is long past that this can be considered a simple "children's" series--though children and adults alike will enjoy it immensely. Starting off from the dark and tragic ending of the fourth film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix begins in a somber and angst-filled tone that carries through the entire 138 minutes (the shortest of any HP movie despite being adapted from the longest book). Hopes of winning the Quidditch Cup have been replaced by woes like government corruption, distorted media spin, and the casualties of war. As the themes have matured, so have the primary characters' acting abilities. Ron (Rupert Grint), Hermione (Emma Watson), and especially Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) are more convincing than ever--in roles that are more demanding.
Harry is deeply traumatized from having witnessed Cedric Diggory's murder, but he will soon find that this was just another chapter in the continuing loss he will endure. Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) has returned and, in an attempt to conceal this catastrophe from the wizarding public, the Ministry of Magic has teamed up with the wizard newspaper The Daily Prophet to smear young Potter and wise Dumbledore (Michael Gambon)--seemingly the only two people in the public eye who believe the Dark Lord has returned. With no one else to stand against the wicked Death Eaters, the Hogwarts headmaster is forced to revive his secret anti-Voldemort society, the Order of the Phoenix. This welcomes back characters like Mad-Eye Moody (Brendan Gleeson), kind Remus Lupin (David Thewlis), fatherly Sirius Black (Gary Oldman), and insidious Severus Snape (Alan Rickman), and introduces a short list of intriguing new faces. In the meantime, a semi-psychotic bureaucrat from the Ministry (brilliantly portrayed by Imelda Staunton) has seized power at Hogwarts, and Harry is forced to form a secret society of his own--lest the other young wizards at his school be left ill-equipped to defend themselves in the looming war between good and evil. In addition, Harry is filled with an inexplicable rage that only his Godfather Sirius seems to be able to understand.
This film, though not as frightening as its predecessor, earns its PG-13 rating mostly because of the ever-darkening tone. As always, the loyal fans of J.K. Rowling's books will suffer huge cuts from the original plot and character developments, but make no mistake: this is a good movie. --Jordan Thompson
