Viewing Notes

All of the Harry Potter movies feature social commentary and Order of the Phoenix even more so. This movie really captures the restrictive, counter-productive nature of school systems as they’ve come to be in the last 30 years or more.

Phoenix is where the pieces of the puzzle start to fall into place. It also more strongly hints at the romantic shenanigans between Ron and Hermoine and Harry and Ginny which provide the emotional backbone for the rest of the films.
