==PlotPurpose==
The stated purpose of The Earth Organization is:
{{seealso|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix|b:Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix|l2=the extended plot at WikiBooks}}
 
#''To create a fundamental change in mankind’s awareness of, and relationship to, his environment and the plant and animal kingdoms, by example and education, thereby reversing the downward spiral of life on Earth.''
[[Harry Potter (character)|Harry Potter]], [[Ron Weasley]] and [[Hermione Granger]] enter their fifth year at [[Hogwarts]] School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The wizarding community has shunned Harry and [[Albus Dumbledore]], head of Hogwarts, who claim that [[Lord Voldemort]] has, after 14 years, regained a body and been restored to full power, and are instead influenced by the propaganda of ''[[Harry Potter newspapers and magazines#The Daily Prophet|The Daily Prophet]]'' and the intentional ignorance of the [[Ministry of Magic|Minister of Magic]] [[Cornelius Fudge]]. Fudge appoints a new Hogwarts [[Hogwarts subjects#Defence Against the Dark Arts|Defense Against the Dark Arts]] teacher, [[Dolores Umbridge]], who begins to steadily take over Hogwarts through the support of the Ministry.
#''To bridge the gap between mankind, industry, commerce and the environment through applicable environmentalism, workable tools, accurate data and a business and scientific approach to the field of the environment.''
Harry, Ron and Hermione immediately dislike Umbridge, because she refuses to allow them to discuss the return of Voldemort, and because she teaches them inadequate practical lessons. Thus, "[[Dumbledore's Army]]" is founded, as an underground organization with Harry as teacher to prepare twenty-seven of his schoolmates in case of a battle with Voldemort, which helps when Voldemort attacks Harry and his friends at the [[Ministry of Magic]].
#''To raise ethical standards within the conservation movement.''
 
The Earth Organization has a strong scientific orientation and a reputation for bold conservation initiatives, including the rescue of the [[Baghdad zoo]] during the coalition [[invasion of Iraq]] in April 2003, negotiations with the infamous Ugandan [[Lords Resistance Army]], to protect game rangers and raise awareness of endangered species, including the [[Northern White Rhinoceros]], and work with remote rural African communities to rebuild cultural and traditional ties to nature.
==Production==
[[David Yates]] was chosen to direct the film after ''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film)|Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]'' director [[Mike Newell (director)|Mike Newell]] turned it down. [[Mira Nair]] was offered the project, but also turned it down.<ref>{{cite news|title='Phoenix' Rising|date=[[2007-04-06]]|work=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|page=28|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20016352,00.html|last=Daly|first=Steve|accessdate=2007-04-01}}</ref> Yates thinks he was approached because of one of his previous projects, the television drama ''[[Sex Traffic]]'', and because the studio saw him fit to handle an "edgy and emotional" film with a "political backstory".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://observer.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,,2109781,00.html|title=How I raised Potter's bar|date=[[2007-06-24]]|accessdate=2007-06-26|publisher=[[The Observer]]}}</ref> [[Steve Kloves]], the screenwriter of the first four ''Potter'' films, had other commitments, and thus [[Michael Goldenberg]] wrote the script for the film; however, Kloves will return for the next film, ''[[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film)|Half-Blood Prince]]''.<ref name=kloves-returns>{{cite news | title=Screenwriter will sit out one 'Potter' | url=http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=371074 | publisher=[[Milwaukee Journal Sentinel]] |date=2004-11-16 | accessdate=2007-03-30|last=Fienberg|first=Daniel}}</ref>
 
Through the activities of its scientific advisory board, The Earth Organization forwards and supports environmental education, targeting different age and culture groups, with the intention of firmly entrenching environmental education as a part of the syllabus of educational institutions.

The Earth Organization is registered as an independent non-profit organization in South Africa, with branches in the USA, France, Canada, Hungary and Slovakia.
[[Nicholas Hooper]] was the composer for the [[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (soundtrack)|soundtrack]] of the film, following [[John Williams]], who scored the first three films, and [[Patrick Doyle]], who did the fourth. In the new score, Hooper has incorporated variations on "[[Hedwig's Theme]]", the series' theme originally written by Williams for the first film and heard in all subsequent ones.<ref name=fmw-darker-potter>{{cite journal|title=Hooper writes new themes for Potter|last=Carlsson|first=Mikael|date=[[2007-05-08]]|journal=Film Music Weekly|issue=14|pages=4|url=http://www.filmmusicweekly.com/issues/FM_Weekly_050807.pdf|accessdate=2007-05-10}}</ref> In March and April of 2007, Hooper and the [[London Chamber Orchestra]] recorded nearly two hours of music at [[Abbey Road Studios]] in London. The score, like the film and book, is said to be darker than previous installments in the series. To emphasize this, the two new main themes reflect the sinister new character [[Dolores Umbridge]], and [[Lord Voldemort]]'s invasion of Harry's mind. A great Japanese [[Taiko]] drum was used for a deeper sound in the percussion.<ref name=fmw-darker-potter/> The soundtrack is set to be released [[10 July]] [[2007]], the day before the film.<ref name=soundtrack-release>{{cite news|url=http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/?articleID=9649|title="Order of the Phoenix" Soundtrack Due July 10|date=2007-03-26|accessdate=2007-03-26|publisher=The Leaky Cauldron}}</ref>

===Set design===
[[Stuart Craig]] returned as set designer, having also designed the first four films' sets.<ref name=tlc-msnbc-set-photos>{{cite news|url=http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/#article:9484|title=New Interactive OotP Set Preview Photos on MSNBC|publisher=The Leaky Cauldron|date=2007-02-09|accessdate=2007-02-11}}</ref> The [[Atrium (architecture)|atrium]] in the [[Ministry of Magic]] is over 200 feet in length, making it the largest and most expensive set yet built for the ''Potter'' film series.<ref name=tlc-msnbc-set-photos/> Craig's design was inspired by early [[London Underground]] stations, where architects "tried to imitate classical architecture but they used ceramic tile", as well as a [[Burger King]] on [[Tottenham Court Road]] in London, where "there's a fantastic Victorian façade which just embodies the age".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/features/leader/display.var.1443344.0.pottering_about.php|title=Pottering about|date=[[2007-06-02]]|accessdate=2007-06-26|publisher=[[The Northern Echo]]}}</ref><ref name=coming-soon-craig>{{cite news|url=http://www.comingsoon.net/news/interviewsnews.php?id=21229|title=Harry Potter 5 Set Visit - Production Designer Stuart Craig|last=Newgen|first=Heather|date=[[2007-06-25]]|accessdate=2007-06-26|publisher=ComingSoon.net}}</ref>

[[Kreacher]], the Black family's house-elf, was cut from the film in one draft of the script. However, after Rowling prodded the filmmakers to include him, saying, "You know, I wouldn’t [cut him] if I were you. Or you can, but if you get to make a seventh film, you’ll be tied in knots.", he was added back into the script.<ref name=kreacher-mtv>{{cite news|url=http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2007/06/25/kreacher-comforts-mtv-solves-a-harry-potter-mystery|title=Kreacher Comfort: MTV Solves A ‘Harry Potter’ Mystery|publisher=[[MTV]]|date=[[2007-06-25]]|accessdate=2007-06-26|last=Vineyard|first=Jennifer}}</ref> His voice actor is reported to be [[Timothy Bateson]]<ref>{{cite news|url=http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808475612/cast}}</ref> but this has not yet been confirmed officially.

[[Tiana Benjamin]] was scheduled to return for the film in the role of [[Minor characters associated with Quidditch#Angelina Johnson|Angelina Johnson]], but she had to withdraw due to commitments to playing [[Chelsea Fox]] in ''[[EastEnders]]''. She believes that, though the producers looked into the possibility of recasting her role, the character was ultimately cut from the film.

Two posters released on the Internet that showed Harry accompanied by six classmates, including [[Hermione Granger]], generated some controversy by the media. They were essentially the same picture, though one advertised the [[IMAX]] release. In one poster, the profile of Hermione, played by [[Emma Watson]], was made curvier as the outline of her breasts was enhanced. Melissa Anelli, webmistress of noted fan site [[The Leaky Cauldron (website)|The Leaky Cauldron]], wrote:<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/index.php#article:9797|title=Ch-ch-changes on the OotP Posters|last=Anelli|first=Melissa|publisher=The Leaky Cauldron|date=[[2007-05-04]]|accessdate=2007-06-05}}</ref>
{{cquote|Emma Watson is playing a 15-year-old girl, and she herself is under 18. I get the full heebie jeebies thinking about the person who sat there thinking, 'Now, if we cinch her waist a bit, and inflate her bust a bit, and give her some dramatic lighting and more blonde hair, this would be a much better picture.'}}
 
Representatives for WB later wrote about the poster under fire, "This is not an official poster. Unfortunately this image was accidentally posted on the Imax [''sic''] website".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=452961&in_page_id=1773|title=Harry Potter and the mystery of Hermione's curves|last=Tapper|first=James|date=[[2007-05-05]]|accessdate=2007-05-10|work=Daily Mail}}</ref>

The film will be the third ''Harry Potter'' film to be given a simultaneous release in conventional theatres and IMAX. The IMAX release will feature the full movie in 2-D and the final 20 minutes of the film in 3-D.<ref name=prnewswire-release>{{cite news | url=http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/04-19-2007/0004569017&EDATE= | title=Warner Bros.

The film will be released in most countries in a two-week period starting 11 July. WB has tried to stick with day-and-date releases for most countries "except in the Middle East and a few minor markets, because most are going to be in holidays at that point". The set of summer releases, even though the films are typically released in the winter, "really maximizes our opportunity", said a representative for WB.<ref name=10000-theaters/>

Originally, Warner Bros. set the [[Australia]]n release date as [[6 September]] [[2007]], nearly two months after the majority of other release dates. However, after complaints from the Australian Harry Potter community, including a petition garnering 2,000 signatures, the date was pulled forward to [[12 July]] [[2007]].<ref name=australia-release-date>{{cite news|url=http://www.hpana.com/news.19558.html|title='OotP' release dates in Australia & Spain|publisher=HPANA|date=2006-08-21|accessdate=2007-01-30}}</ref> The release date was then once again pulled forward by another day to [[July 11]].<ref name=australia-release-dates>{{cite news|url=http://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/fusion/fullnews.php?id=1840|title='Order of the Phoenix' release date changed in Australia|publisher=[[Harry Potter Fan Zone]]|date=[[2007-06-16]]|accessdate=2007-06-16}}</ref> The release dates of the film in the UK and US were also moved forward, both from 13 July, to the 12th and 11th, respectively.<ref name=uk-date-change>{{cite news|url=http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/index.php?articleID=9831|title=Change to UK "OotP" Date: Now July 12|date=[[2007-05-11]]|accessdate=2007-05-29|publisher=The Leaky Cauldron}}</ref><ref name=us-date-change>{{cite news|url=http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/?articleID=9905|title=Confirmed: Change to US "Order of the Phoenix" Release Date, Now July 11|publisher=The Leaky Cauldron|date=[[2007-05-29]]|accessdate=2007-05-29}}</ref>
 
The film is 138 minutes long.<ref name="bbfc"/> In the [[motion picture rating system]], it was rated the equivalent of the US's PG-13, the UK's 12A, and Australia's M. Reasons for the ratings were variations on "fantasy violence" and "dark themes."<ref name=australia-rating/>
 
==Reception==
===Critical reaction===
Reviews of the film are generally positive. ''[[The Telegraph]]'' headlined their review "Potter film is the best and darkest yet".<ref name=the-telegraph-review>{{cite news|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/06/29/wpotter129.xml|title=Potter film is the best and darkest yet|last=Frederick|first=Charles|date=[[2007-06-27]]|accessdate=2007-07-01|publisher=[[The Telegraph]]}}</ref> [[Imelda Staunton]]'s performance as [[Dolores Umbridge]] and [[Helena Bonham Carter]]'s as [[Bellatrix Lestrange]] were widely acclaimed; Staunton was described as the "perfect choice for the part" and "one of the film's greatest pleasures", "com[ing] close to stealing the show".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://books.guardian.co.uk/news/articles/0,,2114641,00.html|title=Japan goes wild about Harry|date=[[2007-06-29]]|accessdate=2007-07-01|last=McCurry|first=Justin|publisher=The Guardian}}</ref> Bonham Carter was said to be a "shining but underused talent".<ref name=the-times-london-review>{{cite news|url=http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/film_reviews/article2000948.ece|title=Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: the first review|date=[[2007-06-28]]|accessdate=2007-06-30|last=Lewis|first=Leo|publisher=[[The Times]]}}</ref> ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' also praised [[Alan Rickman]]'s portrayal of [[Severus Snape]], writing that he "may have outdone himself; seldom has an actor done more with less than he does here".<ref name=variety-review>{{cite news|url=http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117934037.html?categoryid=31&cs=1|title=Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix|last=McCarthy|first=Todd|publisher=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=[[2007-06-29]]|accessdate=2007-07-01}}</ref> ''[[The Daily Mirror|The Sunday Mirror]]'', giving the film four out of five stars and called it "a dark and delicious delight [and] a must see movie".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.sundaymirror.co.uk/showbiz/movies/tm_method=full%26objectid=19386975%26siteid=98487-name_page.html|title=Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix|date=[[2007-07-01]]|accessdate=2007-07-01|last=Adams|first=Mark|publisher=[[The Daily Mirror|The Sunday Mirror]]}}</ref>
 
''[[The Times]]'' of London expressed disappointment that the three main actors were not able to fully advance the emotional sides of their respective characters, weakening the film.<ref name=the-times-london-review/> ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' wrote that ''Phoenix'' is "quite possibly the least enjoyable of the [series] so far", and that despite "several eye-catching moments", "the magic – movie magic, that is – is mostly missing". The review also criticised the underuse of the "cream of British acting", noting the brief appearances of [[Maggie Smith]], Bonham Carter, [[Emma Thompson]], [[David Thewlis]], [[Richard Griffiths]], and [[Julie Walters]].<ref name=hollywood-reporter-review>{{cite news|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/film/reviews/article_display.jsp?&rid=9447|title=Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix|last=McCarthy|first=Kirk|last=Honeycutt|date=[[2007-06-30]]|accessdate=2007-07-01|publisher=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]}}</ref> IESB.net, which gave the movie a very positive review, took the opposite view and wrote, "cameos are used effectively throughout the film", noting stand-out performances from Bonham Carter, Thompson, and Rickman. The review also praised Radcliffe, saying that he added "a new dimension to Potter".<ref name=iesb-review>{{cite news|url=http://www.iesb.net/index.php?option=com_ezine&task=read&page=1&category=13&article=2799|title=Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix|date=[[2007-07-02]]|accessdate=2007-07-02|last=Duke|first=Andy|publisher=IESB.net}}</ref>
 
===Awards===
Before it was released, ''Order of the Phoenix'' was nominated in a new category at the [[2007 MTV Movie Awards]], "Best Summer Movie You Haven't Seen Yet". It lost to ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]''.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://mugglenet.com/app/news/full_story/942|title=Transformers beats Harry Potter at MTV Awards|date=[[2007-06-03]]|accessdate=2007-06-06|publisher=MuggleNet}}</ref>
 
==Notes==
:{{note label|Nigel|A|A}}[[Nigel (Harry Potter films)|Nigel]] is not a character from the books. William Melling appeared in this same minor role in the previous film, ''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film)|Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]'' ([[2005 in film|2005]]).
:{{note label|SCB|B|B}}The character played by Ryan Nelson was billed as "Slightly Creepy Boy" when a promotional photo of [[Dumbledore's Army]] was released. There has been no word from Warner Bros. whether there is a correlation to a named character from the books, or if the character will be credited as nothing more than "Slightly Creepy Boy".
