The darker tones in the movie really worked well with the series as a whole and the specific movie. In all honesty, I feel that <em>Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix</em> was the worst title in the series, both book-wise and movie-wise. In the book, very little happened of actual importance (aside from the very last scenes), and the rest was an overall bore. In my opinion, David Yates is the worst director so far, but that may be due more to the scripts he is given. Up until OotP came out, I always walked out of a Harry Potter film feeling that I had seen one of the best films of the year. At OotP (and, although to a lesser extent, at <em>Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince</em), I was unsure of my feelings regarding my enjoyment of the film, and in the end, I felt that neither film was the best in the series. I felt that the things that they got right, the got really right, and the things they got wrong, they got really wrong. Regarding OotP, I felt that they left far too much out of the film for it to reach its full potential. Some may argue that it is justified, due to restrained time-limits (meaning they could not make the film any longer, or it would go to long). The fact is, though, that it is the shortest film in the series. Even <em>Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone</em>was longer by 14 minutes, with <em>Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets</em> surpassing even that with 23 minutes on OotP. Yes, the two shortest books in the series were made into movies that were longer than the longest book in the series' movie. With that extra twenty minutes, they could have included plenty of more parts from the book. While H-BP includes more from the book, it does not convey the story as well as the other films. Much of the story is exchanged for a plethora of humor that, while accepted, was not as important enough to drop the story. However, in this films defense, the final scenes of the film (from the scene of Dumbledore drinking from the Goblet to his funeral) were some of the best in the series. Well, there are my thoughts. ~ <strong>Obilink</strong> My favorite so far, by far, is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
