Advantages: good actors, good plot, mature movie
Disadvantages: some episodes from the book were missing
2 new things were recently released from the Harry Potter saga.
I am talking about the 5Th film, "Harry Potter and the order of Phoenix" and the last, long awaited, book.
I am not going to narrate the plot of the 5Th movie (you can easily find it everywhere on web), i just want to point some of my impressions:
* the movie was sensible shorter that the other ones in the series, that's maybe a good thing mainly for those not so much into Harry Potter
* because the movie was so short, some episodes from the book were very little shown, or missing at all (for example, i liked in the book all the things about the preparation for their exams, but in the movie was almost non-existent). Furthermore, the relation between Harry and Cho is non-sufficient explored.
* we find the actors one year older. Neville is now quite tall (unexpected really), and Ron is not the handsome young boy i think the producer hope he will become. On the other hand, Harry matures quite nicely :). I saw some pictures with him from the controversial play he acts in, and i can tell you, he will be the next sensation at Hollywood, just wait a few years!
* i enjoyed most Ron's older, twin brothers. They were the salt and the pepper of the movie (although in the book i was not so impressed with their characters).
All in all, a great movie! Is is better that the last one? Oh, i am not sure... Maybe i liked it better the first ones (much more relaxed atmosphere), but the "Order of Phoenix" is definitely a more mature movie, the actors are well accommodated with their characters, and some quid of a chemistry has formed between them over the years.
Summary: The 5th movie of HP is a mature movie, with great, well-accomodated with their roles, actors.
