What ended up being the longest book of the series up to now has been made into the shortest film of the series. On first glance, that doesn't bode well! The movie clocks in at 2 and a half hours. I'll be honest here and say that those who have read the books will more than likely enjoy the film, but realise that it is not in keeping with the book. For those who haven't read the books and don't know anything about the plot, you will probably think this film is very exciting. Lots of action sequences, especially when the Order of the Phoenix squares off against Voldemorte and his cronies in the Department of Ministries. I do recommend this film, because I'm curious as to what others truly think of it.
