of harry potter movie -5

Harry Potter has grown up !!!!
This was the message that the 5th movie (Harry potter and the order of phoenix) had.
So all those who go the movie please do not expect cute potter, funny magic tricks, Quidditch games, Potter's spat with Malfoy and professors etc etc that make these movies so adorably cuteee......

So what to expect?? A barrage of emotions like anger, frustation, confused thoughts, helplessness etc.... Along with it some dark magic, answers to many questions and ofcourse few other questions ...

Essentially it deals with the divison of the magical world into two groups- the one led by Harry and Dubledore that tries to warn every1 that Voldemort is back and the other one led by the Minister of Magic and his adrent follower Umbridge who try to ignore the fact that anything has happened and potray Harry and Dumbledore as cukoos....
In am attempt to gain supremacy the later group interferes with Hogwards in form of Umbridge as the Professor, then a High Inquisitor and ultimately the Headmistress...

In the mean time there is struggle between Dumbledore's Order of Phoenix and Voldemort's death eaters for a prophecy which will make Voldemort understand what went wrong last time he attacked harry....

So is it better than previous movies? Definetly as it goes deeper into the gravity of the battle and moves it from child's play to a full fledged battle that means life and death ...
It is more complex that the previous ones where a lot many characters are not even introduced, they are just there as either Harry supporters, Minitry suporters or Death eaters ....

It may be frustating for those who have not seen the previous versions as they will face barrage of faces, spells and incidents that they are supposed to know .... Also may be frustating for gals who want to see harry do his tricks, Ron do his goof up and Hermoine act up smarty pants and terrible for those who watch it for Harry and Cho's love affair and kiss... There is nothing to suggest Harry is intrested in CHO except for few lloks, one dialogue and a kiss.....

Those who have read the book may find the movie deviating from the actuals, but would only marvel the way director (and script writers) have adapted the 993 page book to a 2.5 hours movie ...

the few shortcomings of the movie are 1) the fact that it shorplays the Weasleys ... they are a lovable lot and are under utilised.. 2) The fight sequences and the magical mysteries during the climax do not match upto the expectation 3) A few more questions could be raised (like Harry's fathers Bully nature, effect of belatrix's release, safety at Hogwarts and outside that Voldemort is able to acess Harry's thoughts at will etc etc)

All in all a good movie to watch if u follow the series and remember what has happened till now .... and are ready to be set up for what lies ahead........
