Harry Potter 5 on TV: The students form underground
Once again, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and his friends are on their own because the Ministry of Magic refuses to believe in the return of Lord Voldemort. There is also a rough wind at Hogwarts as Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton) uses dictatorial measures to shape the school according to her ideas.
If adults are not there to support them, students must protect themselves. Harry, Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint) join the Order of the Phoenix to protect themselves from Voldemort and his followers. It’s not that easy, because… Dark Lord haunts Harry even in his dreams.
Harry Potter 5 adapts the longest novel into the shortest film
With over 1,000 pages, the fifth volume is by far the most extensive part of the series. And of all things, its film adaptation has the shortest running time at 138 minutes. Fans of the novels will of course miss all sorts of plots and characters: Nine important things missing from the adaptationwe have summarized for you. However, if you don’t know the books, you’ll see a coherent and exciting film that doesn’t miss anything.
Fans of the books can then hopefully discover the missing elements in the upcoming Harry Potter series. After all, an entire season should be dedicated to each novel and that means much more running time is available.
This particularly pleases Ginny actress Bonnie Wright, who only had 30 minutes of appearance time in eight films.
