My family and I just watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. While the
movie was very good with excellent special effects it just about broke my heart
when Sirius Black dies. Gary Oldman is such a good actor and he played the character so well, I think he made us all love Sirius Black and want to name our
dogs padfoot after that or Sirius. Though it did keep up with the book better than I
expected and that of course would have meant loosing Sirius. Harry's character has
grown into a very strong character in the film and truly I think it was Daniel Radcliffes
best performance as Harry so far. My family and I are already looking forward to
movies on the next two books because they are excellent and the movies should
be also. Hermione and Ron come to a comfortable balance with each other and the
warmth that is hinted at in later books between them starts to show a little. I thought
the movie was excellent and would give it about four and a half stars. The only thing
I really missed in the movie was things such as the atmosphere and photography of
boats floating them to the castle or a chorus singing something wicked this way comes complete with frogs. I thought those were rather nice touches in the other movies as was the portrayal of holidays into the storyline as well. Aside from all that,
it is a movie worth seeing and we get to see some of Daniel Radcliffes best acting yet! I highly recommend the film but it does help if you have read the book in a couple of places.
