"The video game version of Order of the Phoenix captures none of the magic in the Harry Potter books or films."
--Aaron Thomas, GameSpot
"EA truly made an extra effort here and created a good movie-based video game that players of almost all ages can enjoy, as long as they enjoy the whole Harry Potter premise."
--Maria Montoro, Cheat Code Central
"For a game based on a book, the dialogue is especially blunt and coarse, and for a game based on a movie, poor editing makes the crowded cut scenes all but incomprehensible."
--Greg Damiano, Game Revolution
"Sure, Order of the Phoenix is a little rough around the edges, but it's still the best Harry Potter game yet."
--Phil Theobald, GameSpy
"EA painstakingly recreated the world of Harry Potter and it comes across beautifully in the game."
--Jose Liz, PGNx Media
"The extreme care taken with reproducing the world, characters, and story of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix results in certainly the best Harry Potter game yet and a perfect counterpart to the film."
--Matt Butrovich, Game Almighty
"The graphics are very well done, and ¨C despite the different voices ¨C the sound is solid. This is a game that will delight fans of the books and movies and should bridge age groups as well."
--Michael Lafferty, GameZone
"Its impressive ¡®go anywhere¡¯ style of play is every fan¡¯s dream come true and the amount of freedom available in the game will keep players interested for a long time--just don't expect much replay value."
--Joshua Schwartzman, Gamer 2.0
"If Half-Blood Prince produces the same leap in concept as we've seen here, Potter fans will really be in for something."
--Patrick Klepek, 1UP
"...if you know what a snitch is and what gillyweed does, you'll dig this game."
--Greg Miller, IGN
"The graphics in the PlayStation 3 version are great ¨C if you replace the words ¡®PlayStation 3¡¯ with ¡®PlayStation 2¡¯, that is."
--Emily Buxton, NZ Gamer
"While the core mechanics of Order of the Phoenix are verging on excellent, the game that's been built around them is basically a series of chores in disguise."
--Tom Orry, Pro-G
