Hi first of all i really dont want to soud rude and object to anyone else's view but being an extremely loyal HP fan since years i had to defend my favourite wizard😊

Most people are complaining that a lot of things were missing from the movie but Cmon the movie was 2hrs and 45mins long minus all the edited parts. If the director did add all those scenes to the movie it would be like a 4 hour film😕😆.

I think from the article i read at Tellybuzz everyone seems to think that the director has completely gone off the track and has made his own version of''Order of the Pheonix'' but i disagree. The whole essense of the longest book in the Potter series was present throughout the film. You could always tell that this is Order of the Pheonix couldnt you. The plot was there, the immense acting talent was there(I think Dan was better in this film than the previous ones, i think he's proven himself to be one of the greatest actors in Britain😳)

I think that people have forgotten that OOTP was like 870 pages long, adding all the scenes in the movie would have been ridiculous. By now i guess we all should have gotten used to the constant editing of scenes as it make sense.

This is the best Potter film by far even though it isnt perfect and not everyone might agree to this but a fan's got to do what a fan's got to do.

i know what you are saying... but OOTP in based on a book, and if the director goes totally off track, it kind of confuses people... even i think that the movie was best, but teh the concept and teh story was totally different and had nothing to do with the book, on which the film is based...

Btw, I am not offending anyone... I am a very big fan of HP 😳 😉

Well, for the people who are saying that the movie was totally off track..I felt that it wasn't. Infact I haven't seen a movie soo much faithful to canon!!! 👏 👏 👏 The plot direction was fantastic👏👏 He really took the plot forward, in a very sensible way..even a non book reader could understand it!

Well, Sirius showed Harry the photo of the old OotP..? BIG DEAL?!!!!!

Cho was given Marietta's role of a snitch...

BIG DEAL?!! I personally dun give a bloody damn to those two any which ways!😆

I mean..they only had minor changes which didn't affect the movie at all...and the scenes which were edited out..I did not miss them at all, except Snape's Worst Memory ad Harry-DD scene at the end.

OotP really was fabulous! The acting was top notch esp by the adult actors..and David Yates really managed to do the impossible...he managed to show almost all the important scenes from a 700+ page long fat novel..which is really amazing of him 👏 👏 👏

I can't really understand why exactly are people crying for 'no-importance' scenes like Quidditch matches et al Its not possible to show ALL these scenes if you take any of the Harry Potter books...and OotP is the biggest of the series. So personally I can't see why people are so on a bashing-spree

I couldnt have said it better myself👏. Your right the movie was completely loyal to the book and was not at all off-track. The scenes cut didnt even matter they were not important. What was important was Harry's evolving into a teen, Sirius's death and his confrontation with Dumbledore and Voldemort. Those scenes were directed magnificently and it was definetly the best HP movie including the minor changes😊

I agree w/ u 100%👏

I mean the movie was gr8...it wasn't all that bad,but the way they represented it was so confusing 4 me😭😕😕And the first like 15 minutes I was just trying 2 figure out what in the world was going on🤢

But I will always be a loyal HP fan and I don't think it was anywhere near becuase of the actors,cuz' every1 acted superbly👏...but I think it may have been the new director that they had😉

Hmm Asha di i kinds agree because i think Chris Columbus who directed the first two HP films was the best one out of all the directore but definetly Yates did a good job but maybe Chris would have done better

I really liked it, I don't think they destroyed the plot, they did change it, but it was good changes.
