Watch Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix Peacock

Okay, hear me out, Potterheads.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on Peacock? It's... good. Maybe even... underrated? Don't throw your wands at me just yet.

A Surprisingly Angsty Adventure

Let's be real. Harry's a teenager. And a traumatized one at that. He's basically a walking, talking mood ring in this movie.

The angst is REAL. But isn't that, like, super relatable? We've all been there. Maybe not fighting Voldemort, but you know, feeling misunderstood.

And let's not forget the *Pink* menace, Professor Umbridge. I have a serious bone to pick with her.

Umbridge: The Villain We All Love to Hate

Dolores Umbridge. Pure evil in a cardigan. She's the villain you just *love* to hate. Isn't that satisfying to watch her schemes?

Imelda Staunton is phenomenal. She nails that passive-aggressive, sugar-coated cruelty perfectly. Makes me wanna throw pink glitter everywhere...in protest, of course.

She might as well be the queen of red tape. A true bureaucrat, the type that puts you on hold forever.

Dumbledore's Army: Rebellion with a Dash of Awkwardness

Speaking of rebellion, Dumbledore's Army is where it's at. A group of misfit wizards learning to defend themselves? I'm so in.

That awkward flirting between Harry and Cho Chang? Peak teenage romance. Gives me secondhand embarrassment in the best way possible.

And seeing Neville Longbottom blossom into a brave wizard? Heartwarming. Makes me wanna give him a big hug (and maybe a plant).

Sirius Black: The Cool (but Dead) Godfather

Okay, I know, Sirius dies in this one. Major bummer. It stings every single time.

But his character is so important. He's the rebellious, cool godfather Harry never truly got to have. Their bond is so touching.

Gary Oldman's performance is captivating. Even though his time is short, it's impactful. Brings a level of depth to Harry's inner struggle.

Why It Works (Even with All the Angst)

Order of the Phoenix captures the growing darkness. It shows how difficult it is to stay hopeful.

The movie shows how corrupt the Ministry of Magic is. It's a bit like real-life, just with more owls and fewer emails.

It also highlights the importance of friendship. Harry couldn't have survived without Ron and Hermione (and Luna, of course!).

Maybe it's not the flashiest Harry Potter film. But it's a crucial turning point. The stakes are raised. The world is getting darker.

So, next time you're scrolling through Peacock, give Order of the Phoenix another shot. You might be surprised.

You might just find yourself relating to angsty teenage Harry more than you expected. Plus, Umbridge is always good for a laugh (a dark, twisted laugh, but still).

Maybe this movie is the equivalent of a moody teenager, but I think Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix deserves a second look.
