Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Movie Reaction)

Harry Potter: And the Order of the Phoenix- Thank you so much for another fun reaction to another great Harry Potter movie, my dear friends! I enjoy this movie a lot!! And the fights in the end... First between the Order and the Death Eaters, then especially between Dumbledore and Voldemort... They are really amazing, and I enjoy them very much!! Although... I do wish there was a little bit more to the fight between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters. Just a little more. I wish we could have seen more of the Order throughout this movie. It isn't explained, but this movie implies that the Order comes to Harry's and the other kids' rescue at the Ministry in the end, thanks to Snape sending them a message to warn them of the danger to the kids and to Sirius, after Harry pleads with him to help Padfoot (Sirius Black). And I really love this. Snape definitely resents Harry and they butt heads a lot, and for a very understandable reason. Because Harry's father, James, sadly used to be a bully who bullied Snape when they were kids. But I love Snape!! He's a good man, as well as a member of the Order too. I think my biggest qualm with this movie is Sirius' death. I really think it's quite weak for a character such as Sirius has been built up to be. I love Sirius Black as a character, and have loved him ever since his introduction back in Harry Potter: And the Prisoner of Azkaban. And in the books too. And even these movies do such a great job in making us as the viewers love him and want more from him. So, for me... To see Sirius take out Lucius Malfoy like he does and then suddenly be killed off like he is so quickly and in such a weak way... It's really disappointing to me. But the fight between Dumbledore and Voldemort, then Harry's inner struggle with Voldemort invading his mind and body, is brilliant, and I love every moment of it! Bellatrix Lestrange is a fantastic character you love to hate, and boy... do I ever. I love Helena Bonham Carter as an actress too. She always plays such brilliantly twisted and sometimes deranged characters, and she's really phenomenal at doing so!! Now... I love seeing the introduction of the Order of the Phoenix that includes Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Snape, Mad Eye Moody, Arthur and Molly Weasley, Dumbledore, as well as characters that we are introduced to within this movie such as Tonks and Kingsley. And we also learn that Harry's parents, as well as Nevil's parents were all members of the Order as well. We know that Harry's parents are dead, and we also learn that Nevil's parents were tortured with the Cruciatus Curse by Bellatrix Lestrange. In the books, we learn that Nevil's parents were tortured so badly, that they are now living in an asylum under special care, and that they have no memory of their son. A fate worse than death, just like Sirius tells Harry upon showing him the photo of the original Order of the Phoenix. This is why Nevil is living with his Grandmother. I love Nevil too, and I love how he is so proud of being his parents' son. Because they suffered greatly, yet never gave into Bellatrix's torture. And lastly... I just love seeing more of Sirius and Lupin again. They're great characters, and it's so sad and maddening that Sirius has been killed off so soon. But overall... This is a really fun movie and I really loved watching yours and your daughter's reaction for it, Reds!! So thank you once again! I am excited for you to continue on with the final three Harry Potter movies, as well as the three Fantastic Beasts movies, that are prequels within the Harry Potter Universe! Until your next reactions, dear friend... Sincerely, Heidi
