Most distressing about Order of the Phoenix is how poorly constructed it is as a movie. She immediately sets about sucking the life right out of Hogwarts, and all the fun of the previous movies goes missing in favor of a bitchy, pain-in the ass Harry and a boorish, listless, sad school full of mindless, put upon drones. The pace doesn’t pick up once he’s at school either, as the movie follows the now perpetually cranky Harry through a needlessly complex political plot which eventually results in the takeover of the school by a new headmistress who can only be described as a sick and twisted sadist. Till then there’s a lot of rushing around and talking urgently, but nothing really seems to happen. He’s slandered in the newspapers and used as a political tool, which only serves to make Harry’s newfound teen angst even angstier.Įventually Harry gets back to the secretive school of Hogwarts where he’s to undergo another year of tutelage. The new Wizard government has decided that Voldemort doesn’t exist, and that for the past couple of years Harry has just made the whole thing up. This time he seems to have chosen to do it through the Wizard media. As it is in each of these movies, the mysterious dark lord Voldemort has returned and continues to make life hard for Harry. We find Harry right from the outset lurking in it, transformed into an angsty, bitter, and hormonal teenager who seems to lash out at anyone and everyone, whether or not he has a reason.
The film exists, more than any of the others, in sort of a perpetually dim, drab twig light world.
