Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

The fifth film installment of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, won't disappoint fans with its usual fast-paced story, great special effects, and—for teenage fans—its great-looking cast. Even with the much talked-about kiss between Harry and Cho Chang has got girls wringing their hankies in envy and despair, it promises to be enjoyable film all througout its two hour and 18 minutes running time (the shortest one in the series so far).
As opposed to the previous HP movies, this one requires a background of the story since it takes off from the point where Harry has announced that Voldemort has returned while the Ministry of Magic proves unwilling to listen to his warnings. Those unfamiliar with Harry and his world (yes, people who don't know Harry Potter do exist) might have some trouble catching up to the events being referenced in the movie.
For audiences in the Philippines, check out Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at the IMAX theater at SM Mall of Asia. There's a 3D sequencethat gives it that extra "wow" factor.
