Nils van der Linden quote iconNeither Harry nor the custodians of JK Rowling's fifth book seem to have a very firm grip on what they're doing, instead resorting to a lot of zooming and whooshing.

Sabrina Dean quote iconSomehow, though, it feels as if the film was on the verge of being extraordinary, but ended up teetering on the edge before sliding backwards with a bit of failed fruition.

10
BBC
Paul Arendt quote iconDavid Yates' film has the misfortune to be based on the dullest book in the series so far.

Rolling Stone
Peter Travers quote iconOrder of the Phoenix, the best of the series so far, has the laughs, the jitters and the juice to make even nonbelievers wild about Harry.
