Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix: Highlighted Key Differences Between the Novel & Film

"Neville Longbottom, is it? How's mom and dad?" Today is the day Chase & Josh wrap up Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at long last, detailing the key differences where we get real and raw with our thoughts on how the movie compares to the book between storylines, visuals and character portrayals. In this episode, we bring attention to the many omissions of the film that damage the integrity to the plot and storyline such as there being no Quidditch, no Howler sent to Aunt Petunia, no making Ron & Hermione Prefects and no buildup of the importance of their O.W.L. examinations, the way Thestral's are introduced, no banishment of Firenze, the lack of Kreacher's betrayal, Occlumency's debacle, and Dumbledore's demeanor and strategy in his battle with Voldemort. Additionally, we don't just highlight the differences, we explain why it's a problem for the unfolding of events, both present and future. So, tag along one last time for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix before we dive into Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince next week. This episode is a can't miss! "We both know that there are other ways of destroying a man, Tom." Dumbledore said calmly, continuing to walk toward Voldemort as though he had not a fear in the world, as though nothing had happened to interrupt his stroll up the hall."
