Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
I love the direction <PERSON> takes with these last four films. He does a great job with the tone in this one especially and he gives us an unforgettably thrilling, sad, crazy final act. This is a very different <PERSON> film and is a perfect start to the much darker second half of the series.
It’s weird though because while this is my favorite HP movie with its corrupt politics, great team-ups, numerous wicked villains, great character moments and dynamics, and my favorite third act of the series, it’s also the one that gets on my nerves the most.
The book was the longest of the series and had so much great development and numerous awesome moments, yet this is the second shortest film of the franchise. I’ve always wished this one were 20, 25 minutes longer, just enough to help with its quick pacing and to add some more substance to all that’s going on. 952
