Review: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Despite the surrounding hype of the latest Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth in the seven-part saga, the movie fails to meet the high expectations fans have come to expect from the book-to-movie series. The film is, however, good – director David Yates does have an exceptional talent with capturing natural human interaction. But for all of Yates’ ability to work with people, special effects in the film were shoddy and overall second-rate. Most noticeable were the several scenes in which Harry and his companions fly across London. The sweeping images of the London skyline and notable English landmarks scream “green screen”. Still, Yates does redeem himself somewhat with a stunning depiction of a full-out wizard battle.
