Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Rent & Buy
When a new professor's methods leave Hogwarts unprepared to fight the rising tide of evil, Harry teaches students how to defend against the dark arts.
What critics thought
Generally well-received as a confident adaptation that turns the series' longest book into its shortest film, Order of the Phoenix earns particular praise for its darker tone and a gallery of memorable supporting performances — Imelda Staunton's Umbridge especially. The main point of disagreement is whether the compression serves the story or hollows it out, with some critics finding the emotional core underdeveloped and the sprawling cast of British talent criminally wasted.
“quite possibly the least enjoyable of the [series] so far”
Kirk Honeycutt·The Hollywood Reporter
“die-hard Potter addicts will rejoice that Yates has distilled J. K. Rowling's broad universe with care and reverence”
Colin Bertram·New York Daily News
“One of the joys of this film is watching Daniel Radcliffe grow so impressively into the role of Harry. He digs deep into the character and into Harry's nightmares. It's a sensational performance, touching all the bases from tender to fearful”
Peter Travers·Rolling Stone
“Harry no longer has as much joy.”
