Harry Potter, Your Order of Phoenix is ready.

Well tossed, lightly scrambled, very light on dialog, with a delightful visual presentation.

JKR has done a great job with the novels, and the movies got off to a good start. This one, though, is only for fans who have read all the books so they can follow the story, as little of it as is presented, and appreciate the meaning of the visuals.

E.g. where does Percival Weasley show up? He's there, but not addressed by name, has no spoken lines, and is only recognizable by the use of an actor that looks like a Weasley, with a nasty demeanor, and a fraction-of-a-second hateful glance from Ron. Dialog is apparently passe in Hollywood and all relationships between characters are conveyed by the Meaningful Glance. Anyway, who needs dialog in the movie when there's all the dialog you'd need and more in the book? Again, this is a movie only for very well read Harry Potter fans. Read the book before buying your ticket.

All that said, the visuals are great. The purpose of this movie is to give the Harry Potter fan some alternative visuals to the ones he or she imagined when first reading the book. The visual story stays true to the book plot, and the characters, as much as they are defined in the film, are true to the characters in the book.

So all in all, a fun movie for Harry Potter fans who have the book memorized. Anyone else who wanders into the theater will probably be saying, "WTF?" a lot if they try to make any sense out of the plot.
