OotP can essentially be broken down into two key components: quests and minigames. But enough of that, let’s get down and dirty with the game itself. In fact, although our focus is on the DS version, this particular title is currently available on the GameBoy Advance, Nintendo Wii, Playstation 2/3/Portable, Xbox 360, PC and MAC! Phew. Of course, where there is a popular film there is bound to be a game tie-in, and Mr. The novel was originally released in 2003, followed by a film conversion earlier this year. The story itself moves fast and keeps you into the plot very well and I can't wait until Half-Blood Prince comes out as well as the absolutely fantastic Deathly Hallows.Before we get started, how about a little bit of background information? Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the fifth installment in the ridiculously popular series written by J.K Rowling. The Weasly Twins exit was greatly done too. The professors, Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Maggie Smith were great as usual, most notably Alan Rickman, who's colorful portrayal of Snape steals the movie. Luna Lovegood was portrayed perfectly by Evanna Lynch.

Daniel Radcliffe's angst as Harry was great and the main three, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson as well, have become great actors. Imelda Staunton nailed Umbridge and she did a fantastic job. Dumbledore's appearance at the ministry was kind of awe inspiring and I like Michael Gambon as Dumbledore more and more (although they need to put the half-moon glasses on him.) The big death and Harry's reaction were perfect, as well as Lupin holding him back. Ralph Fiennes is a fantastic Voldemort and he does great here. They captured the strength of Dumbledore and the ruthlessness of Voldemort very well. The strong essentials of the plot were still there though. The things they changed, some of Cho's roll, Dobby's absence and giving his part to Neville again, Firenze not being in the story, all made sense and worked well. I'll even venture to say it was the best one yet or at least close to it. Personally, the movie was the book and thats why I liked it so much.

I thoroughly disagree with the above review of this film.
