Harry potter and the best movie yet! spoilers!!! - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Reviews

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was a great surprise. I know a lot of "fans" of the Harry Potter series seem to think that the movie was a butcher of the book. I, however, disagree. I understand that a lot of things were cut out, but the main story was intact. There were a couple of things that I didn't agree with, one being when Harry actually did hand Lucius Malfoy the prophecy, but the movie was very well written. The movie was both humorous at times and dark when it needed to be. The acting was superb and you could tell the friendship between the trio is getting stronger with every movie. I was especially impressed with Evanna Lynch and Matthew Lewis' performances. The scene outside of the Ministry of Magic and the telephone booth was just as I had imagined. Yes, the movie was much darker. Isn't evil dark? Why would it get any lighter? Harry is facing the fight of his life. Would you consider that a good time? I think not! The darkest and most unnerving for me was the possession of Harry by Voldemort. That, along with Sirius' death, brought tears to my eyes. And might I say, there was more than one instance when I wished I could have punched Professor Umbridge. So, to all of those who call themselves "true fans". To be a true fan, you should open your mind up to all things "Harry Potter". Take the good and the bad and don't call a movie a failure just because it didn't match your vision. This movie had to be the best of the Harry Potter movies to date. All of the great acting, humor and the story line made it a superb movie!
