Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

Screentime: 3 minutes and 11 seconds (2.43% of film)

Order of the Phoenix is an entertaining installment, that mainly focuses on the Ministry of Magic and its interference on Hogwarts as well as romance, exams and secret societies. The film features an Oscar nomination worthy performance from Imelda Staunton (I could also see Brenda Blethyn do wonders with the role), and sticks very closely to the book. Again a very well done film. 

FILM: 4/5

Maggie I believe has either a total of 4 of 5 lines in the film. A third of her screentime is in the background at the first great hall scene, she was utterly wasted in her part. I believe in the book, she attempts to help Hagrid when he is being evicted from the school grounds and gets multiple stunning spells to the chest, causing her to go to hospital. There are set photos of Maggie filming additional scenes, but they do not even appear on the DVD (they most likely were removed early on without any post-production editing). 

MAGGIE-METER: 1/5
