A review worth reading - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Reviews

This installment of the Harry Potter series begins the darker side of the series. There is no more fun and games in Hogwarts, and the main characters are beginning to use their knowledge of sorcery to fight and defend. However, if you expect the book to be followed in any way, then go into it with low expectations. Of course, the main dialogue(sp?) follows J.K Rowlings idea. But there are so many voids in the motion picture version, that if you hadn't read the book, you may get lost quickly, and throughout the movie. No spoilers here, but bring a buddy that has read the series from the start to keep you up to speed on the characters(and their magical aliases). Overall, this is a very good movie, certainly worth seeing...but don't think you are left out if you leave the theater thinking..."What just happened?"
