The documentary, as part of Movies With Ali Plumb, also saw Radcliffe pay tribute to author JK Rowling, who has expanded the Potter universe to include the Fantastic Beasts film series starring Eddie Redmayne. That is the real world effect that a film can have on someone’s life. “They will just watch back-to-back a few movies and it just takes them to a place of warmth and comfort. “One of my favourite fates that we could never have ever imagined for the Harry Potter films but that I have been told by several friends is that they are fantastic when people are hungover and feeling really crappy about themselves. The 32-year-old said: “The time in most people’s lives when they discovered it meant that it has an incredibly important place in a lot people’s childhoods, and they still feel very protective over it.

But when looking at the books, one really can't help but think how much more potential this movie could've had.Celebrating 20 years of Harry Potter! ✨ #20YearsOfMovieMagic chats with Daniel Radcliffe about the unexpected fate of the Harry Potter films. Overall, I would certainly recommend the movie for everyone, fan or not, as it really was a well made movie, despite a few wooden actors and some bad dialog. As for the rest of the cast, it's largely hit or miss, determined by how each scene is written. Thankfully, Imelda Staunton more than makes up for this in an amazing portrayal of Dolores Umbridge, one of the more fully realized characters of the movie. Sure, this works well in the more dramatic scenes (specifically the final battle), but otherwise, his performance falls flat, lacking the eye twinkling charm we came to love from the late Richard Harris. The same goes for Gambon, who seems to have ignored the calm, all knowing, endearing idea of who Dumbledore is, in favor of a more erratic yet powerful headmaster.
Aside from Evanna (couldn't have made a more perfect Luna), the kids give simply average performances, never really reaching the full potential put forth by JK Rowling's writing. For now, fans can take a closer look at Jim Kay’s craftmanship, with A Magical Year celebrating pieces from his previous offerings alongside never-seen-before sketches. We still have all the drama and excitement, but some of the magic just seems to be gone. The Illustrated Edition of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will follow in 2022.

And while it pains me to ignore some of my favorite scenes from the book being left on the cutting room floor (St. Many scenes that one would think invaluable to the story have been cut, replaced by the hasty filling in of plot holes. However, to the die hard fans of the books, you will undoubtedly be disappointed. As a Hollywood film, it deserves praise, bringing this amazing world to the big screen, telling a compelling tale, and keeping the viewers glued to their seats for the duration of the movie. In this respect, Order of the Phoenix was very similar to the previous two movies. Pacing has certainly been an issue, leaving fans feeling disjointed, and those new to the series confused as to what exactly is going on. As a result they've felt more like a collage of scenes, a series of puzzle pieces, thrown at the viewers faster than they can piece together, just leading up to a final confrontation. They glossed over many of the little things that made the Harry Potter series so magical in the first place, focusing on a select few plot lines and limiting dialog to only what was necessary to further the story. Though the third and fourth movies were very artistic and dramatic, I couldn't really connect to them in the way i had with the books. The first two movies, I thought, were the best of the series mainly due to Richard Harris' dead-on portrayal of Dumbledore and screenplays that closely followed the original books. When I first walked into the movie, my expectations were not very high.
