Review Detail

Order of the Phoenix Theatrical Cut is pretty low on my list of Harry Potter movies but I think the changes made by JJPotter helped it rise up quite a bit. I think extended editions work so well for Harry Potter because pacing is slightly less important and you moreso just want to exist in this world for longer with these characters. The extended bits, especially all the students having a great time in the Griffindore common while Harry sits alone, help to emphasize Harry's isolation. The deleted scenes that have been added back in help fill out the world and explain certain characters motivation. My only big criticism is Snape's iconic "obviously" during one of the montages is edited poorly and the audio has issues which wrecked that joke during my watch through, small but noticeable. Great work otherwise.
