Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) PG - 4 Stars

Okay that's enough Harry Potter for now. Number 5 is as good as all the rest, 4 stars for the imagery alone. Yet another true adventure for our young stars.

Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) now in his 5th year at Hogwarts and once again his friends are with him Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint). Even though Harry dealt with Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) in the last episode, rumor has it that he has returned. Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge (Robert Hardy) tries to keep these rumors underwrap as he suspects Albus Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) may be the one who started the rumors.

Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton). is in charge of watching over the young teens. But even she won't be able to defend the ministry against what's coming to them. Harry must join forces with some of the other students to form "Dumbledore's Army" in order to defeat the supernatural showdown that's about to begin.
