What carries the game through these weaker moments, however, is its charm and spirited embodiment of the movie. Cleaning isn't as bad when you've got Ron and Hermoine by your side. Running back and forth isn't as annoying when the environments are so full of life.
And, finally, spell casting works. The new system, which asks you to twirl the right analog stick through different rotations and directions, proves a much more enjoyable and immersive method than the dumbed-down controls in Goblet of Fire. Order of the Phoenix may not have as many action-packed sequences as that game, but it does capture a lot more magic.
