Order of the Phoenix is easily the most divisive installment in the series. A lot of people love it, a lot of people hate it.
Personally it’s my favorite of the books. I love the political themes and the complexity they add to the story. It’s unique in that it focuses on power struggles, propaganda, and psychology. I like seeing Harry’s progression from anger/hurt to compassion and connection. You’re totally right that it spends a lot of time setting up the rest of the series. It’s a necessary bridge imo but it’s understandable that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
The book is an 800 page monster, and I think they did an impressive job condensing the story into an overall good movie. I do however think the plot works better as a book. I like the atmosphere and music, we get a lot of great performances too, but it doesn’t have the heart that the book has. It’s not my favorite compared to 1, 3 or 4, but it’s still an enjoyable watch.
Anyway, thanks for the fun reaction! I’m gonna watch your Half Blood prince reaction later and I’m very much looking forward to it.

Luna is my favorite character! I was sad they cut the whole speech with her talking about how Voldemort probably wants Harry to feel alone.
