Amazon.co.uk Review
While many movie franchises slide as they reach their later instalments, the Harry Potter films just keep getting better. The latest, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is easily the darkest of the series to date, and it's also one of the best. For while it could easily have been little more than a holding film to set up the big encounters to come in the last two instalments of the series, it's to the credit of British director David Yates that the end result is really very good. It finds Harry coming under suspicion from his wizarding colleagues, who don't believe his claims that the evil Lord Voldermort has returned. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix thus finds its title character on the backfoot for much of its running time, with a select band who firmly believe his story, and very powerful figures who don't. Where the movie of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix excels though is in its three trump cards. Number one is a far tighter script than we're used to with Potter films, which, combined with trump card number two--the aforementioned David Yates behind the camera--cuts much of the slavish loyalty to the text away in favour of a film with real momentum. The third, and best, card though is the casting of Imelda Staunton as Professor Dolores Umbridge, who simply flies away with every scene she's in. It's a superb performance, and the film is poorer whenever she's not on screen. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is not a film without a few problems, certainly: it's a fair criticism that not too much actually happens, and one or two bits feel superfluous. But it overrides its problems with ease, to emerge as a compelling, highly enjoyable family film, which will leave you salivating for the Christmas 2008 release of movie number six in the series. --Simon Brew

Excellent Blu Ray transfer May 12, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This review is more about the blu ray transfer than the film itself.
The film is actually my second favourite after the prisoner of Azkhaban. Certainly gloomy but never dull, the secret training of Dumbledore's Army is great fun, and a climactic battle with Dumbledore himself is staggering.
The picture quality of this blu ray film is outstanding. Watched on a 40 inch sony with PS3 at 1080/24 it is brilliant. I did not notice any juddering mentioned in other reviews. The only quibble I have is that the picture quality is so good you notice some of the blue screen sfx, especially the flying on broomsticks through London, that was pretty sub par to be honest.
The visual display of the battle that Dumbledore has is absolutely amazing on Blu Ray. This film has some of the best visual quality scenes I have seen on Blu Ray.
The sound is only 5.1, I did not see any other options like DTS which is a disappointment, though the sound was still very good.
There are loads of extras, the walk through the set with Tonks is great fun, she is a talented singer ;) and I am frankly a bit smitten with her.
Overall an excellent blu ray disc, that I would frankly recommend buying or at least renting it even if you already have it on DVD.
Own a PS3? This is fantastic! November 15, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I collected all the Harry Potter films but was un-sure whether to get it for my PS3 as it didnt match the other boxes. But boy does it look fantastic on my PS3. The picture is super sharp and the action looks brilliant on my 52" 1080p, my kids were just mesmerized.
At only 18.00 is a great buy for Christmas.

Help for PS3 owners with juddering March 16, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you find you can't give this movie 5 stars because of the juddering on the PS3, one thing that gets rid of this problem for alot of people is if you go to settings on the main PS3 screen, go to BD/DVD settings, go to "BD 1080p 24 Hz Output (HDMI)" and turn it off, you can then watch your movie without noticing any difference to your picture quality and clarity.
Great film but take note if you use a PS3 to view. November 13, 2007

All the Harry Potter films are fab but I recently bought this film in Blu Ray format to play through my PS3. I also purchased the standard format so that it matched the the others size wise etc -sad yes, but it had to be done!..OCD perhaps! Anyway, like the other Blu Ray series Planet Earth I recently got too, the Blu Ray film image judders on the panning scenes and fast movement! I tried to get the PS3 firmware update via internet but, this didn't rectify things, so, it's a return for a refund on the Blu Ray versions, till Sony or whoever is responsible, get it sorted by including the update for the PS3 in with the film.
