What to Know

Critics Consensus

It's not easy to take the longest Harry Potter book and streamline it into the shortest HP movie, but director David Yates does a bang up job of it, creating an Order of the Phoenix that's entertaining and action-packed.

Deborah Ross The Spectator Traditional drama is usually a three-act deal: set-up, conflict, resolution. But this is the three-act deal every two minutes. Danger, baddie, magic. Danger, baddie, magic. Danger, baddie, magic. It's as tired as it is tiresome. Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Bruce Diones The New Yorker By focussing the story on Harry (a leaner and slightly meaner Daniel Radcliffe) and his exploits, Yates dispenses with many of the novel's subplots and is able to push the story forward, ominously foreshadowing the dark times to come. Nov 26, 2013 Full Review Wally Hammond Time Out Performances are more mature, the soundtrack (by Nicholas Hooper) less grandiose, and Yates executes some thrilling set-pieces. Rated: 4/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn I found this incredibly redundant and the pacing was painfully slow at times. I wish this was more visually enthralling. Rated: 2/5 Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn The CGI doesn't hold up well but the performances of Rickman and Staunton are great. It's one of the better Harry Potter films. Rated: 3/5 Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Rachel LaBonte Screen Rant Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a great example of some of the series' strongest elements, especially its cast and visual effects. Rated: 4/5 Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
