Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the fifth installment in the Harry Potter franchise and continues Harry Potter's adventures. As Harry starts his fifth year at Hogwarts, he soon realizes that all too many don't believe that his interaction with Lord Voldemort actually occurred the past year, due to the fact that the Ministry of Magic has been doing its best to keep the encounter a secret. Cornelius Fudge, who happens to be the minister of Magic, appoints, Dolores Umbridge, a loyal peer that believes the ministry is always right, and makes her the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts, in order to watch over the school and make sure everything is following the rules that the ministry believes should be followed out. However, Dolores ends up being a cruel, unorthodox teacher that makes her students study magic, instead of actually practicing-an action that doesn't sit well with Harry, for he believes that the students need to be preparing for the upcoming dangers. Because of this, Harry, Hermione, and Ron end up gathering their friends together, and they start creating their own secret club where they actually practice magic and train themselves to eventually be able to protect themselves for the upcoming, rising tide of evil that is sure to show no mercy. 
 Although this movie doesn't quite live up to the magic of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, this movie is certainly a great one in its own right, as well as an action-packed, intense adventure that manages to grip audiences in an enticing, thrilling ride. The excellent ending of the movie manages to tie everything together and shock audiences to their core, as well as take advantage of all of the built up suspense. 
 Even though this movie is triumphantly packed to the brim with twists and turns at seemingly ever corner, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix feels like its just a conduit to build up for something much greater than itself. With that said, the exhilarating adventure is still able to intrigue and amaze viewers and make loyal fans proud. 
Without a doubt, critics and viewers didn't seem to mind that the movie wasn't quite on the same level as the fourth one. Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie a decent 78%, and an impressive 96% of Google users liked the movie. Simply put, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is an incredibly wondrous roller coaster that manages to give characters another year of magic and obstacles under their belt, as well as the ability to gift audiences one of the more dramatic movies in the franchise.
