Without spoiling too much, lemme say that "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" is a bit underwhelming. The storyline revolving around Dolores Umbridge goes on far too long to keep me interested while the ending, the only worthwhile part to watch, feels rushed. I've liked the series' turn to darkness, especially in "The Prisoner of Azkaban" but there is too much of it here in the literal and figurative sense that you're being pounded with the same message over and over again...Lord Voldemort is coming. Yes, we heard you the first time. All in all, it's worth watching to see the further development of Harry Potter, but don't expect to be entertained with fancy spells and fast Quidditch matches.
