Are you buying the new Harry Potter DVD The Order of the Phoenix?

And if you do buy it, will it be BECAUSE it's a brilliant film, or IN SPITE of it being nothing but a few mere stepping stones through the book?

Or both?

    personally i thought the book was the weakest of the saga and the film did the editing that the publishers should have done, essentially the whle book was a stepping stone to the infinatley superior half blood prince.

    that aside, the film was excellent in its own right, gary oldman put in his usual gutso performance as sirius and daniel radcliffe showed how much he has developed as an actor. Fiennes' manical performance as voldemort was also a work of genius

    Anyway, i have to get it or else there will be an unsightly gap on my dvd rack when the next one comes out

    Pre ordered it already.

    Its a brilliant film from an even more brilliant book.

    Just sorry the series has finished. The rest of the films will be good though!

    Its a great film

    I view the book and film as seprate, as the film is based on the more action and moving parts and has the points that lead onto the next book, for those who want the book cut down, don't liek to read or can't read.

    the books are better but there the books, the film is only based on the books lol

    So yes plus i think daniel radcliffe is great ^_^

    I'll buy it because I have all the others on dvd. I haven't had a chance to see it yet, but it seems it'd be a shame to stop the collection before it's complete and the others are good so I'm assuming this one is good too.

    Well, I've read them all and got the other four DVDs, and whilst this one is a stepping stone, Mr Radcliffe does mature in a kind of unsettleing-to-my-hormones- way!

    I'll be getting HBP and DH on DVD when they are made, so I can't have one missing. That would be mad!!

    actually, the movie comes out on dvd this tuesday, november 13 according to warnerbros.com. and i thought it was the best of the series so far, so i will buy it for sure.
