As a former high school teacher, I didn't see the appeal of those characteristics. There is a plot description of the book <a HREF = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Order_of_the_Phoenix#Plot_overview" TITLE="Order of the Phoenix book plot on Wikipedia">here</a> and the movie <a HREF = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Order_of_the_Phoenix_%28film%29#Plot" TITLE="Order of the Phoenix movie plot on Wikipedia">here</a>.

There is a plot description of the book here and the movie here. It's basically about Harry's first year of school after the return of Lord Voldemort, which the Ministry of Magic refuses to believe. This leads to a power struggle at Hogwarts that leaves Harry and his friends in a precarious position.

How could you not love that movie??? If you compare it to the book, yes, it is not as good and there are definite things left unexplained (like why the second to oldest Weasley is against his own brother!) but had we not read the books we would be equally confused stand alone so we return to the movie. I think I am seeing spots.
