Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Fans of science fiction films won’t want to miss Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. However, it is more than just a science fiction film. Fans of action films, horror films and comedies will also enjoy the latest film in the popular Harry Potter series.

The film’s director said that he wanted the film to be stunning to look at. He achieved his goal. For example, in one scene, Harry and his friends fly over London on their broomsticks. Then they drop out of the sky and fly across the River Thames.

Leading actor Daniel Radcliffe is brilliant as Harry Potter. Supporting actress Emma Watson, as Hermione Granger, is also extremely good.

My favourite part is when Harry gives his first kiss to Cho Chang. It’s romantic. The action scenes in the film are very exciting, especially the battle scene between Harry Potter and the death eaters.
