Unfortunately, the fluidity of the entire package is sluggish this latest Potter runs between 20 and 30 frames per second (even worse at times on PS2) and the motion is sometimes inconsistent. However, the completely streaming world does not arrive without any drawbacks.

This latter truth means that the entire school feels like one connected entity and not a series of rooms linked together by load screens. These locations look more life-like than they ever have before and there are absolutely no load times separating walkways or rooms, a real feat given the scope of the world. With the quick tap of a button, you're able to bring up the map, select people or places you want to go, and then when you return to the game world again you'll be led there by the map's footsteps. Thankfully, though, EA has made travel significantly more intuitive by implementing the Marauder's Map into the experience. Hogwarts is, in fact, so large that it's very easy to become disoriented or downright lost within its many crevices. Use Wingardium Leviosa to levitate objects. In this game, Hogwarts is absolutely, positively enormous and you can walk or climb in most directions, whether that means traveling to the Gryffindor Common Room and beyond to don Harry's invisible cloak or to the Grand Staircase, Dungeon Corridor, Clock Tower, Viaduct, or even Hagrid's Hut. Previous Potter titles have included virtual recreations of the mysterious school, but all of them pale in comparison to this one. As you play through the meaty adventure - the biggest yet for any Potter outing - you will do more exploring than you might have imagined, which we view as a plus.
In the Order of the Phoenix, you play, of course, as Harry, but are constantly backed by best friends Hermione and Ron, who will walk the school with you, take part in duels by your side, and even help with the many objectives you must complete through the course of the year. The result is directly opposite the book it's based on this latest digital exploration of Harry's universe is, although not without its flaws, the most compelling and immersive yet and we're therefore certain that die-hard fans will be hooked by the presentation, the school itself and everything there is to do and see. EA has with its new game capitalized on the fifth-year experience, taking what works and running with it, but also delivering fans a completely contained Hogwarts universe, fully explorable, that exists outside of the Order of the Phoenix storyline.
Still, it is a testament to the quality of the series that even the low point in the books remains entertaining and, at times, riveting. It is uneventful by comparison to the other books and Harry wastes too much time being angry about all matters, trivial or not. Rowling's phenomenally successful franchise. We have grown up with Potter through the years, dissecting the books and fighting over the triumphs and failures of the movies, so we can state as real fans that The Order of the Phoenix was our least favorite entry into J.K. Harry, Ron and Hermione hang out with Dumbledore's Army.
Ever since he was invited into the underworld of magic so many years ago, the reluctant hero hasn't had a moment to relax, and even though he'd rather spend time with his boyhood infatuation, Cho, he must now teach a secret sect of students calling themselves Dumbledore's Army the defensive spells that Umbridge won't. To make matters worse, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Umbridge, not only doesn't believe Harry's allegation that Voldemort is on the loose, but she seems to take pleasure in calling him to detention. So as Potter returns to wizardry school for another year of lessons, he's a little peeved. He's just come from the unexpected death of a classmate, a rude battle with Lord Voldemort, and a summer spent writing letters to friends who have for some odd reason gone incommunicado. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, an EA-developed adventure game based on the movie and book of the same name, the Boy Who Lived is growing up.
