Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Grade: B+

This is the 5th movie in the Harry Potter series, and as the characters (and the actors) are getting older, the themes are getting more mature.  The movie is dark, a little scary even, the villains are more sinister.  This one is rated PG-13.  I have not read the books, though some people tell me that the books are better than the movies – which seems to be the case in most adaptations.  But what is great is that you don’t have to have read the books to understand the movie.  And you really don’t even have to have seen the previous movies to understand the current one out.  Although I think you will enjoy it more having that background.  The young actors are all very good in their roles.  I look forward to the next two in the series!
