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.

Bruce Diones

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.

Gone With The Twins

Clearly serving as an overly dependent middle section of the franchise, this is one of the more forgettable installments.

Rated: 4/10

Herald Sun (Australia)

The fifth Potter picture is one of the lesser entries in the series: way too rushed, and a mite too dour.

Though it keeps all the action, it does lack some of the pace.

🍅 8.4/10 Im that one motherfucker, who had a crush on Luna lovegood hear me out it’s her name nobody could’ve blamed me. We’ve got some definitely great moments out of this one. I consider it even better than the book counterpart, making it much more focused. They’ve introduced Dolores Umbridge and Luna which are both great additions and polar opposite characters 😭. The Climax was great with some pretty good emotional beats and I think this is one of Daniel Radcliffe’s best performances in the series and I love seeing him take over the leader role. Also the score 🙌 Magical. Grade A-

I was shocked seeing it having the lowest rating of the movies. It's the only movie I prefer over the book. Sirius was a lot less annoying here than the book, though Dobby not being here is still a crime. Still, great movie.
