The Harry Potter movies get increasingly darker and the Order of the Phoenix is no exception. We loved this movie and we were so excited to review this one that we watched it immediately after recording the fourth episode.
In this episode we discuss:
- Whether Ms. Figg might secretly be a FireSquid
- Luna’s similarity to Alice in Wonderland
- Why it’s cringeworthy to see Umbridge’s performance reviews of all the other Hogwarts professors
- How Harry’s lessons from the first four years play into the formation of Dumbledore’s Army
- Why Sirius may have set him up for it
- Ginny’s crush on Harry and other nods to the book
- How this book/movie uses Harry’s arc to reflect depression and trauma
Tune in next week for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince…one of us actually may not have enjoyed that one.
