Synopsis
Young wizard-in-training Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) returns to Hogwarts for his fifth year of studies, only to find that the magical community seems to be in a curious state of denial about his recent encounter with the sinister Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) in the fifth instalment of the popular fantasy film series based on the best-selling books by author J.K. Rowling. Rumour has it that the dreaded Lord Voldemort has returned, but Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge (Robert Hardy) isn't so sure what to make of all the hearsay currently floating around the campus of Hogwarts. Suspecting that Headmaster Albus Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) may be fuelling the rumours regarding Voldemort's return in order to undermine his authority and lay claim to his job, Fudge entrusts newly arrived Defence Against the Dark Arts professor Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton) with the task of tracking Dumbledore and keeping a protective watch over the nervous student body. The young wizards of Hogwarts will need something much more effective than Umbridge's Ministry-approved course in defensive magic if they are to truly succeed in the extraordinary battle that lies ahead, however, and when the administration fails to provide the students with the tools that they will need to defend Hogwarts against the fearsome powers of the Dark Arts, Hermione (Emma Watson), Ron (Rupert Grint), and Harry take it upon themselves to recruit a small group of students to form 'Dumbledore's Army' in preparation for the ultimate supernatural showdown.

Customer Reviews

The best Harry Potter movie.
Not only have they managed to transfer the weakest book into the best film but this supports the best transfer of the five available movies on blu-ray too. The colours pop throughout, there's a great sense of depth (the 3D feeling) the backgrounds look beautiful especially in the snow and the detail is as good as it gets. Harry and his friends seem real, like you're looking through a window. This actually feels like a cohesive movie with a beginning, middle and an end. The baddie, their new headmistress (Dolores Umbridge) is fantastic fun, Harry starts training the students (the build up to the main battle starts here!)The ending is a huge spectacular set piece with wizards duelling all over the place. The cast is universally excellent and the pace never flags, J K Rowling said that "this is the best one yet" and at the time of writing it's the seventh highest grossing film of all time. It's not hard to see why, the next part would sadly drop the ball, it's the weakest film so far so catch Hogwart's finest at their best! The Order of Phoenix is fantastic, magical fun.
