Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix marked a maturation of the series, with David Yates stepping in as director and would stay on for the rest of the series. Warner’s new 4K UHD release is a solid one, with a noticeable upgrade in both video and audio.

I thought the DTS:X sound track made great use of the overheads... I thought they did a pretty good job with the HDR application in it really made the movie feel new again. I'm looking forward to seeing the first 4 since they where in a big clean-up. I was watching them a couple months ago and they ready didn't hold up.

I watched this tonight. Like Todd, I found the higher resolution just slightly more detailed than the Blu-ray, most of its gain not very noticeable at all. At their best, the black levels were superb. I didn't find HDR a major factor in the look of this movie, but maybe its use was just more subtle.

The CG of Hagrid's brother and the centaurs really showed how far CG has come in the last half dozen years. They look very computer generated.

Those stood out to me in the original release as well. I think sometimes the HP production team traded realism for efficiency to keep these films coming out every year or so, and for as brilliant as the series is overall, there’s some dodgy CGI here and there. They have that almost translucent quality where they don’t appear to be occupying the same physical space as the live actors.
