But who should a movie about the Order of the Phoenix focus on the most?įor starters, I would like to see the parents of Harry Potter together more as a couple and build their relationship. Seeing him as a young Dumbledore makes me want to see younger versions of the adult characters we grew to love.

But I must say, Jude Law as Albus Dumbledore was the perfect casting decision. It’s probably because most of the new characters aren’t nearly as interesting. Right now, I think many Harry Potter fans would appreciate seeing the classic characters from the original movies again rather than the new ones. These are the characters we need to see fully developed in a trilogy about the Order of the Phoenix, while the more familiar characters can be developed in their younger years.

Some of these characters we’ve seen in the movies as fully flushed out characters before, while others we’ve seen in flashbacks or in the magic moving pictures. Again, this included some adult characters we’ve seen in the movies, such as Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Aberforth Dumbledore, Rubeus Hagrid, Alice and Frank Longbottom, Peter Pettigrew, and James and Lily Potter. During the Harry Potter movie, we got to see a small photo of the original Order and its members. This is the perfect set up for a trilogy about the formation and actions of the Order of the Phoenix. In order to combat him and his fanatic followers, they needed a group of their own. Only a few knew from Hogwarts knew that one of their own would soon become the most evil wizard in history. After Grindelwald was defeated and imprisoned in Azkaban, there were seemingly no threats to Hogwarts and the Wizarding World. This was a time when the Order was formed to combat Voldemort and his followers, the elusive Death Eaters. This would be the time of the First Wizarding War, a time when Voldemort first declared war on the Ministry of Magic and any wizards friendly to muggles. To be more specific, I’m referring to the point in Harry Potter history when he wasn’t around. Where does the Harry Potter film franchise go from there? My answer would be the Order of the Phoenix before the time of Harry Potter.

I hope The Secrets of Dumbledore does better than the Crimes of Grindelwald, but let’s just say, for argument’s sake, that it turns out to be underwhelming. Unfortunately, the last two films weren’t a big hit with Harry Potter fans, at least compared to the Harry Potter films themselves. The third Fantastic Beasts movie is on its way next year and so far, it looks good. Well, I think the Harry Potter franchise should try a new direction. Kind of ironic given the title, isn’t it? It’s a bit sad that we just didn’t get to see them do much, because they spent so much time working behind the scenes. He was joined by his longtime friend, Remus Lupin, famous Auror, Alastor “Mad-Eye” Moody, Nymphadora Tonks, Kingsley Shacklebolt, and the Weasley family. And as we all remember, the adults were running their own Order in secrecy under the leadership of Sirius Black. We got to learn a brief history of this group during the training scenes in Hogwarts. As the title of the movie implies, the return of Voldemort pressured Dumbledore into reforming the Order of the Phoenix. The whole movie was Harry Potter constantly being dragged to his lowest point, but him being Harry Potter, he found a way to get past his pain and prepare himself for the next conflict. Not to mention we got to see Voldemort and Dumbledore have a super cool battle of wands and magic, which you can probably declare a draw. With Voldemort infecting Harry’s mind, having to live with witnessing Cedric Diggory’s death, and losing Sirius Black by the end, this fifth movie reminded us that Harry Potter wasn’t just for kids.
#Watch order of the phoenix series#
I think that’s fair, as it elevated the series to a more darker and tragic tone. The Order of the Phoenix ranks as one of the best Harry Potter movies.
