Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Reviews (Good)

• TIME: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Review
  • "Radcliffe measures up to his character; his bold shadings reveal Harry as both a tortured adolescent and an epic hero ready to do battle."

• Entertainment Weekly: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Review (B+)  
  • "Gone are the childish diversions of Quidditch matches and other jewel-toned visual manifestations of magical thinking, and in their place is an attitude of grim, adult risk taking."

• Village Voice: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Review
  • "The movie's most memorable encounters, however, take place not within Hogwarts, but upon the more perilous terrain of Harry's consciousness, which is a veritable minefield of fear, self-loathing, and pubescent confusion."

• Rolling Stone: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Review (3.5/4)  
  • "Harry's triumph or defeat at the hands of the evil Lord Voldemort is sure to replace the Sopranos finale as pop culture's Topic A, making Order of the Phoenix a must-see."

• USA Today: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Review (3.5/4)  
  • "The special effects continue to be masterful, but villains are given a new twist, and Order of the Phoenix is all the more fun because of it."

• ReelViews: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Review (3.5/4)
  • "The movie flows and moves. There's a sense of adventure and the progression of events is not predictable. The special effects aren't the best of the summer, but they're more than good enough to get the job done, and several shots are breathtaking."

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Reviews (Bad)

• The Hollywood Reporter: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Review  
  • "[T]he magic -- movie magic, that is -- is mostly missing in this outing."

• Los Angeles Times: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Review
  • "Thinned down from the series' longest book, "Phoenix" can't shake an episodic feeling that makes it difficult to develop momentum."

• San Francisco Chronicle: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Review  
  • "It all depends on the perspective: Taken as a motion picture, the new "Harry" comes up short. But taken as a visual aid to the experience of reading a book, the new "Harry" does its job."

• Film Threat: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Review
  • "After the leaps forward made in the last two movies, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” is something of a letdown."

• New York Post: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Review (2/4)  
  • "There are lots of special effects, but sadly, no real magic."
