Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix : by David Yates

PotterMania has reached crescendo and the masses will never get tired of their bespectled hero..

Frankly speaking I am not a die-hard potter fan and have neither read any of the potter series :) This review is purely based on the celluloid experience.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix starts where the Goblet ended. The return of the Dark Lord creates a stir at Hogwarts , Dumbledore and Harry being the center of the blame-game and trials.

The hitler-like rules at Hogwarts applied by the hard-taskmaster forces Harry and Gang to secretly have magic classes to fight the Dark Lord aka Voldemort.

The actors have surely matured including Emma Watson and Rupert Grint as Hermione and Ron respectively. The premise of the movie lacks the exuberance of the previous films.

The culmination of the movie is nicely executed with edge of the seat experience.

To be really candid , it was a drag in portions and the audience (non-readers) and the audience ( readers) , expected more to say the least.

People , wait for the final installment of the book series , that would be a better option than watching this one ..

ONLY FOR DIE-HARD POTTER FANS!!!
