This week on The Third Reel: A Movie Podcast, we’re jumping back into our Review Series with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix!

As with the previous films—and likely the ones ahead—we’ve split our review into two parts. In Part 1, we’ll break down Act 1, while Part 2 (dropping first thing tomorrow) will cover Acts 2 and 3, followed by our final thoughts and scores.

We’re analysing this movie act by act, scene by scene, and rating it on a scale of 1 to 10. Order of the Phoenix marks the debut of David Yates, who would go on to direct every remaining film in the series. It’s also widely recognised for Daniel Radcliffe’s strongest performance yet—and, of course, that unforgettable duel between Dumbledore and Voldemort.

Tune in as we discuss, critique, and rank this chapter in the Wizarding World!
