Harry Potter is AWESOME! Parents lay back!
I loved the movie!! I love the 5th book and movie so much! There is so much enpowernment and you feel all "ah-ha I told you so!" when the ministry finds out Voldemort really has returned. I don't understand how parents get soo concerned. I mean one there's not that much bad content (okay a kis, but really its not that bad!). Are your kids gonna run into a dementor while shopping no? Where are your kids gonna get a firewhisky? I mean really people think about it. Worst gets worst, your kids could run away on a broomstick or be picked up by the Knight Bus.

Very great movie. Final battle scene was truly amazing. IT WILL BLOW YOU AWAY. The great battle you've always been waiting for. this movie is a little more violent and scary than the 4 on but over it was 93/100-best for ages 9+

Great movie, but there is issues. First, awesomeness. Second, violence. There is fantasy vioence, including a guy getting murderd by a curse, and a big fight between the two greatest wizards. Third, scariness. It will freak the crap out of kids when harry is possesed. So you might wanna hold off on this one.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix (2007); 138 min., imbd: 7.3
Now, even though this IS more mature and dark in tone, this is still appropriate for 12 year olds. Well, in all honesty, I'm getting tired of reviewing these movies. I mean, It took me about an hour and a half of writing to review 1-4, so I'm just gonna state the facts. pOSITIVE rOLE mODELS: Sticking together and friendship play an important role in this one. Ron, Hermoine and all of Harry's friends won't let Harry face Voldemort alone. So they risk getting in big trouble to have Harry train them with the spells and incantations he's learned over the years. Also, the morals of friendship, love, teamwork, bravery, and more are strong and clear throughout. pOSITIVE rOLE mODELS: Harry and friends stand up against witches and wizards much more powerful and experienced than them. Also, dealing witht the loss of a loved one. vIOLENT vEIL aND sCARY sITUATIONS: The Death Eaters might scare young ones, as well as the havoc they cause; Nargels(did i spell that right?) might be unsettling to younger viewers too; Many people, good and bad, are harmed in the climax, and one dies; One character is dragged away by Centaurs and we never see her again...till the next movie; A giant may scare. nYEH nONSENSE (oR sEXUAL sTUFF): A. LOT of making out and sexual moves between students. Ron and Hermoine's relationship is officially ON now, as well as Harry and Jenny's. oBSCENITIES aND oBSCENE pROFANITIES: Appearances of bloody h*ll, d*mn, git, maybe a sh*t, have become a somewhat common occurance from now on. dRUG dANGERS: Butterbeer is drunken. nEGATIVE rOLE mODELS: I have already mentioned that Harry and others start a secret(and somewhat rebellious) group of Defense Against the Dark Arts. cONCLUSION: Everybody hates this one(both book and movie) due to the massive dark overtones. Fun Fact: This is the largest book in the series! 800+ pages! But, seriously. This is dark, depressing, and too intense for 12 year olds. One of the best, not of the worse. People are crazy. They hate how the dark tone never lets up!! But this is the most true to the book since Prisoner of Azkaban. Good movie. Check it out. We're almost done! One more to go, then to see Deathly Hallows!

11+, but content not that well done
People are tortured and a character dies. Also, the content wasn't that good. If u've seen the movie, read the book. It is way better & has more detail.

My rating: PG [borderline with PG-13] for fantasy action, some violence, scary images and a scene of mild sensuality.

Amazing, and super funny! :)
I first thought that I didn't like this movie much, but now it is one of my favorites! Order of the Phoenix was probably the worst HP book (but still better then any other book in the world except HP books), but this film was more of a funny adaption! The acting was great, but still, you have the urge to giggle as you watch this! Mostly because as teenagers, the characters have silly feelings and emotions. This was very fast paced and fairly lighthearted. The Department of Mysteries bit was a little intense, but it certainly wasn't so intense that you couldn't continue giggling and enjoying yourself! Sirius does die, but I hate Sirius, so this wasn't a blow at all. I don't know how you could not like the Harry Potter movies because of darkness, but if you do feel that way, don't worry about this one. If anything, the darkness adds to the amusement as the teens go through life. I have a fifteen year old sister, and I can't imagine her doing stuff like Harry does! It's all very good! I just laugh through this movie, and there isn't any scene I want to skip! Everything, no matter how dramatic it's supposed to be, is funny because of the way it's done, and the way it's approached! Luna, too, is funny, not because Evanna is a bad actor, but because she is an amazing one! There is nothing scary or bad about this, it could be a PG, except for the darkness that is put into the light, if that makes sense (it does if you watch the movie)! Everybody is so perfect in this film, it just works brilliantly to make a funny, lighthearted, and extremely amazing movie! Star :)

This is the best movie of them all!I can tell why this movie is popular.It was a little scary at the end and harry's dreams.The worst part of it was when sirus black gets murdured.If your below 9 I would walk out the room a couple times if I were you.This is a great movie!

watch over and over... cry a little
once again great movie. though i cried my eyes out when black died. i love the true meaning to all of these movies though. friends, love, family, and loyalty are so much way better than power, hurt, and evil.
