Synopsis:
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry returns for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts only to discover that much of the wizarding community has been led to believe that the story of the teenager’s recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort is a lie, putting Harry’s integrity in question. Worse, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, has appointed a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, the duplicitous Professor Dolores Umbridge. But Professor Umbridge’s “Ministry-approved” course of defensive magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the Dark Forces threatening them, so at the prompting of his friends Hermione and Ron, Harry is convinced to take matters into his own hands. Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name themselves “Dumbledore’s Army,” Harry teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts, preparing the courageous young wizards for the extraordinary battle that lies ahead.

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
Some critics think Harry Potter has lost his magic. "Whatever happened to the delight, and, if you'll excuse the term, the magic in the Harry Potter series?" Roger Ebert asks in the Chicago Sun Times. Gene Seymour comments in Newsday that a newcomer to the Potter movies "may be forgiven for wondering where the magic is; not just the transfigurations, sparkling explosions and assorted phantasmagoria ... but the sense of wonder and transport that helped make [author J.K.] Rowling's books into a global cultural phenomenon." Lou Lumenick in the New York Post puts it more tersely: "There are lots of special effects, but sadly, no real magic." Kenneth Turan's review in the Los Angeles Times is headed: "The Magic Is Gone." On the other hand, there are those like Colin Bertram in the New York Daily News who concludes his review by remarking, "The magic is definitely back." And of course most point out that Potter fans will definitely be back, too. "[The] fifth Potter movie will be another surefire box-office wonder," writes Bob Longino in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "It's easily better than Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets. It's as dark as Azkaban and as unsettling as Goblet of Fire." A.O. Scott in the New York Times is one of several critics who simply give the movie a passing grade. "It manages to succeed as a piece of entertainment without quite fulfilling its potential as a movie," he writes, adding unenthusiastically that while it "is not a great movie, it is a pretty good one." Glenn Whipp in the Los Angeles Daily News concludes that the film "will satisfy the faithful." However, some critics maintain that many Potter fans will be disappointed. Carrie Rickey in the Philadelphia Inquirer, for example, calls it "a slog that might induce Potter fatigue even among stalwarts."

i find the potter movies to be oddly streaked with something not unlike sadism...this trait finding recurring incarnations in snape, valdemort, and now professor (umbrage?) umbridge...of course, all of them (the movies) are rather splendid...and (of course) we know that not even voldemort has any real chance against adolescents.
