Order of the Phoenix at midnight

Just 6 hours ago I was leaving the theatre after seeing Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix …. and now it’s off to work ..

loved it, of course.

The battle between Death Eaters and the Order is disappointingly short … and all over the place … I definitely missed seeing some stuff …

The battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort is BRILLIANT … love it.

I only cried once, and not when I expected to … only a tad disappointing. …

But, I do agree with one reviewer who said it may be the least favorite of all the movies once the series is done…

It is nearly all plot. …. anything that’s just in there for fun is clearly for the fans (i.e. Harry’s awkwardly long kissing scene, or the Weasley’s departure) ….

I still want to see it again soon.

**edited** I’m annoyed with the film makers that made Kingsley Shacklebolt African (not British) … seems unnecessarily stereotypical since he is practically the only black character. …

want to read more?
