Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Published on December 1, 2007

 With fear that headmaster Albus Dumbledore (Michael Gambon), may be fuelling rumours about Voldemort's return, the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton) is entrusted with the task of tracking Dumbledore and keeping an eye on the students. But the young wizards of Hogwarts will need something much more effective than Umbridge's Ministry-approved course in defensive magic if they are to succeed in the battle that lies ahead.

The Disc: Catalyst Alliance has come up with a variety of special gifts to keep the fans happy and the two-disc package comes with lots of options, including a three-character model pack, a choice of individual characters and a scarf. The special features are a film-set tour with actress Natalia Tena, a documentary about Harry's secrets, additional scenes, and an unedited ending.

The cover price ranges from Bt699 to Bt1,099 depending on the gifts and the DVDs are retailing for between Bt520 and Bt900. The one-disc version has a Bt449 cover price and is selling for between Bt320 and Bt420.

The Story: Based on the novel "Sakod Roi Choo", director Komkrit Trivimol spices up the plot by having his detective Jog (Sunny Suwanmethanon) fall in love with Nampan (Phatrasaya Krueasuwansiri), the wide-eyed mistress he's assigned to bring down. Sunny, who also starred in Komkrit's debut "Puan Sanit" ("Dear Dakanda"), is more relaxed in this movie, while new actress Phatrasaya is delightful as the attractive other woman. Jack (Chalermphol Thikampornteerwong) and karaoke bar owner Ruthai (Panisara Phimpru) shine in their supporting roles.

The Disc: Three discs are provided in the limited-edition release, which comes with a detective tool kit. The two extra discs are filled with special features, including commentary, making of, alternative ending, VTR casting, deleted scenes, music video, photo gallery and a secret bonus. A one-disc version is available at a special cover price of Bt339 and is selling for between Bt220 and Bt300. The limited-edition package has a cover price of Bt699 and is retailing for between Bt540 and Bt620.
