Shownotes Transcript

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher, and Jersey Jason discuss Hary Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth film in the Harry Potter show. Starring Rupert Grint, Evanna Lynch, Daniel Radcliffe, Alan Rickman, and Emma Watson. Harry Potter is expelled from Hogwarts and joins a secret society to try and stop Lord Voldemort's return.

More of a legal thriller than one might suspect, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix cuts down the longest book in the series to a lean (by Harry Potter standards) 138 minutes. Imelda Staunton is especially good as the stubborn teacher Dolores Umbridge. While at times it feels a bit like filler (can't Harry Potter fight Voldemort and finish him off already?), the more adult themes make this a rather cracking entry.
