Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
I recall this book to be the one I enjoyed the least in the series. Harry was inexplicably angsty and angry to the point of being whiney and the end sequence was unsatisfying and confusing. The movie in contrast, manages to really explain why Harry is justifiably angry at being excluded and has a duel between Voldemort and Dumbledore that’s worth the special effecs budget. Once again, they’ve casted their characters perfectly. Umbridge is easy to loathe and you can’t help but cheer when justice is served. [imdb link]
