With
Radcliffe
growing
up
at
a
rapid
pace,
so
is
the
now
legendary
saga
of
Harry
Potter,
the
dark
elements
becoming
more
and
more
adult.
Lord
Voldemort
has
returned
and
is
infiltrating
Harry’s
mind,
leading
to
a
face-off
with
the
evil
powers
and
the
Order
of
the
Phoenix.
But
first
Hogwarts
is
in
the
process
of
being
taken
over
by
subversive
elements
within
the
Ministry
of
Magic,
and
a
new
teacher,
Dolores
Jane
Umbridge
is
sent
to
administer
new
discipline.
The
object
of
this
is
to
render
the
students
defenseless
against
evil
magic.
Harry
starts
a
covert
operation
to
teach
those
brave
enough
to
join
the
rebellion.
Where
other
adolescents
of
their
age
rebel
by
sneaking
out,
smoking,
getting
drunk,
or
fooling
around,
Harry
and
his
chums
play
with
magic
wands
in
a
secret
chamber
(a
metaphor
perhaps?).
With
the
literary
chapter
of
Harry
Potter
apparently
at
an
end,
we’ll
have
to
wait
and
see
if
writer
Rowling
decides
to
end
it
on
a
high,
or
milk
it
for
some
more,
diluting
the
charm
in
the
process.
After
all,
Harry
cannot
remain
a
kid
forever.
If
you’ve
missed
out
on
a
few
of
the
previous
movies,
it
may
be
a
little
jarring,
the
long
running
time
not
helping
either.
