## Resource

In the fifth Harry Potter movie, Harry is placed into a teacher role, and Voldemort is on the rise. Jason, who refuses to see big-blockbuster movies, is pleasantly surprised. He actually likes this one. He hated the fourth movie, but thinks this might be the pinnacle of what Harry Potter movies have to offer. Does this movie have bigger ideas than the other HP films? Is Professor Umbridge the worst villain in the franchise? Does it have the most real-world connections? We discuss: The importance of asking "Why?" We go over the tools of critical thinking to defend our brains. We look at the dangers of bureaucracy, the power of fear, go over some of the differences from the book, and use the Mind-Body theory (posthuman) lens to analyze Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. It's a good time. Newfound appreciation for this movie. Also, there is a significant time when Ryan's baby is on his lap! What do you think? Where does this movie fall in your HP rankings?
