I can say this is the worst of the Harry Potter films so far.
The editing was very choppy in places. It felt like the movie was trying either to get on with it, or these were the nasty bits cut out from the American audience.
Most of the main characters had walk-on rolls. The Minister who takes over the school has far too great a role and the actor who played her just didn't play the character as I imagined her to be. More like Chucky from horror genre.
The Ron character hasn't aged well at all. Either that or they should update his hair.
The House Elves were given short rift compared to their roll in the book. The Black family house elf was depicted as this grumbling floor sweeper with no connection to anything.
It reminded me of the total exclusion of Tom Bombidill from the LOtR series. Tom represented the only character in the series connected to Reality and therefore not effected by The Ring. All three movies together seemed to be a decade in length. He should've been included.
As for The Order of Phoenix, I wouldn't rent it to see it again. That about tells it all for this Potter film.
I can say of the books so far, The Order of Phoenix was my least favorite as well. At least the film is consistent with that.
Unless there is a radical change in Director, I don't think I will go to see the next one so close to its release.
