This movie begins after Harry Potter gets a haircut. The whole crew seem to have grown up a lot in between Goblet of fire. Maybe seeing someone around his age getting killed by the dark lord Voldemort who is set to kill Harry and eradicate all muggles has affected him somehow... (ya think?).
This story is set around the Ministry of Magic who control all magic and magic people in the world. They believe that Harry and Dumbledore lied about the dark lord returning in order to create propaganda against the current minister and eventually make Dunbledore to head. This is of course false and creates even more suspicion about the death of Cedric Diggory.
In order to control Hogwarts the ministry appoint one of their own who eventually takes over the entire running of the school. Professor Umbridge is hated by all as she not only bans the use of magic but enforces cruel and unusual forms of punishment for anyone who breaks that rules.
Harry is appointed the teacher of a team who call themselves "Dumbledore's army". They get taught by Harry on how to protect themselves against an attack from 'who know who'.
The best part of this movie was the new Irish girl. It's never mentioned that she's Irish but I can tell that accent instantly. Just because she doesn't go "Diddly iddly ie potatoes" doesn't make her English! It's never specified what role this unusual girl has in Harry's life but she joins his team and helps him to feel more normal.
Haunted by nightmares Harry realises that because Voldemort was brought back using Harry's blood, they are mentally linked. Snape helps to teach Harry how to block Voldemort attacking his memories. Using this link, Voldemort tricks Harry into breaking in to the Ministry of Magic and finding a prophesy that predicts his own downfall.
Yada yada yada, they have a big fight and Sirius dies...
The best bit(s) was when Hermeine once again stuck it to the boys and said that Ron had to the "emotional depth of a teaspoon".
My 'nit-pick' with this movie was when they use these flying horses to get to London. At the beginning of the film it was made perfectly clear that only Harry and his new friend could see these creatures... Then how is it that Ron, of all people, was able to ride an invisible flying horse to London and not FREAK OUT!!
Anyway, the dark lord is back and everyone knows now. Hogwarts is still in danger but at least Umbridge was taken off by Sentors.
