Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix adaptations: books & films

Every version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix — the books & films, compared across media.

Voldemort has returned, but few in the wizarding world will admit it. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix follows Harry after a Dementor attack on his cousin, as a secret order gathers at Grimmauld Place and a new Hogwarts professor leaves students unprepared to face the rising threat. J.K. Rowling's 2003 novel and the 2007 film adaptation tell this same story across two media, each reaching the material in its own way.
