Heres my review of Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix (finally!)
The movie starts with Harry's trial by the Ministry of Magic for performing magic in the Muggleworld with Dumbledore (wise and firm as usual) defending the Boy who lived who finally got entry into Hogwarts but was not welcomed due to his constant belief that You-know-who has finally returned and is gaining more power and strength. One can easily identify the dirty politics played by the Ministry with Kitten-crazy pinky Dolores Umbridge replacing Albus as the new Hogwarts head (Her room walls were covered with countless pictures of cats and kittens and the whole room bathed in pink!) . She loathes Harry who gets serious punishments like impostion of writing 'I must not tell lies' with his own blood! No wonder Filch was a loyal to the ferocious female...But the Weasley twins (Fred looks damn good!) stole her show by turning things upside down with their famous pranks before flying off the school.Things get interesting when the Dumbeldore's army is formed lead Hermione(she looked so malnourished!) and Ron with Harry teaching some students Defence against the Dark Arts as the school studies were no fun loaded with heavy dull old useless theory. Harry is smitten by Cho Chang and the much-hyped kiss is depicted well. Liked the scene after the kiss though. And yes, Snape teaches Harry Occlumency and we get an insight of Snape's past with the Potters. Harry is nearer to Sirius while working with the Order(they could've thrown more light on the Order and Black's house-elf Kreacher). The movie gets darker with the scenes in the Department of Mysteries where the Order fights with the Death Eaters (liked Bellatrix for her insanity and the way she killed Sirius). The Dark Lord is in full form and the action between Albus and Voldy is depicted beautifully. One can feel how powerful Lord Voldemort has become and how Harry tries to defend himself in every possible way. Thus it proves to be the darkest of all Potter movies...(was hungry for Quidditch actually) and Potter fans will like it as usual!
