GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

Was probably one of my favorite lines out of Order Of The Phoenix. However, I believe it was fabricated! Much like everything else in the movie.

*spoiler alert* Now, raise your hand if you remember Fred and George disrupting the OWLS!?!?! Anyone...? Neither do I. Quite frankly, I thought that was a crappy way to go with it. They just blew fireworks and left? NO! I refuse that! They never even showed when Harry gave them money to start WWW...did they? NO!

Another thing! *spoiler alert* Not all the student's in the DA had to use the Umbridge quills when writing lines like Harry did. FABRICATED!!

Okay for the rest of this, let me just give you one big fat SPOILER ALERT!

They never showed Sirius' mother yelling in her picture frame. They never showed Harry, Ron, Hermoine, Jenny, Fred, and George cleaning Grimmaud Place. And one thing that would have been really good for them to put in, was the boggart that kept turning into Mrs. Weasley's husband and kids dead! That would have been so good.

Okay, Harry's occulmency lessons with Snape. There were like two...total? in the movie. Lame! They were a big part of the book, and he never even discussed it with Ron and Hermionie. And I don't believe that is the way Harry learned about Snape being picked on by his father and sirius. I thought he stumbled on the pensive in Dumbledore's office...

Okay, fight at the ministry. Now, I believe that Bellatrix did kill Sirius...but she didn't use Avada Kedavra...in the book I mean. I need to re-read it, but I don't believe that's the way it happened. I know she was the cause of his death, because in the sixth book Harry blames her all the time...blah blah blah. But I thought, and like I said I need to reread, that she used just a curse and he fell behind the veil...? I REALLY WANT TO RE-READ IT NOW! I just have to find the book... Well, I know that hardly any fighting took place (in the movie) took place in the ministry lobby, like it did in the book. That irked me...because that part was very cool. They crushed statues, and fountains, and in the movie they just show the fountains all messed up...well what happened? Now, I wonder...did the whole glass to sand thing actually happen in the book? I don't remember like I said, need to re-read. I don't remember if Voldemort possessed Harry, or if Harry actually used the Crucio curse...really need to re-read.

They left out the mirrors that Sirius gave Harry, so they could keep in touch!

The final thing that mad me angry. WHERE was Harry's anger in the end? THEY, and I choose to blame David Yates, ended it with a semi-calm Harry. There was no Harry getting up and smashing Dumbledore's office...that was one of my favorite parts of the book! I feel as though I've been jipped.

Alright, now after all my complaining I'd like to focus on the good things! Daniel Radcliffe's acting was superb! I'm not just saying that because I love him, either He did very well at the anger thing, and feeling like an outsider. Also, in the ministry when he saw Sirius die...that was so well acted, it made me well up!

Let's see, I loved all the DA scenes. OH OH! And the reminds me of Luna Lovegood! What a great actress they picked. Although, Luna is supposed to have brown hair...its okay, her voice made up for it...she was really good.

Oh, Daniel and Gary Oleman have such great chemistry! He did say in an interview that they actually did in real life, which I thought cool, because they also do in the movie. And it really showed too.

Hmm...what else? It was just a great movie in general. I really think the best one so far. Hey, I noticed as well they got new uniforms! I'm excited that David Yates will be directing the sixth one, as well! Yippee. I plan on seeing it five more times

That's a lot of complaining about a "great movie". Here is a link to the review my friend wrote in today's local paper. His daughter is an HP freak so he's seen all the movies many times.

I agree with everything you said. I was disappointed that they didn't show harry tearing apart dumbledores office, thats my favorite part also. Yes, in the book when harry sees that memory of his father torturing snape, he saw it in the pensieve. And in the book harry didn't use the cruciatious curse, or at least not fully. He started to say it then belleatrix interfered. And in the book voldemort DOES posess harry but not as long as he does in the movie. and i can't remember what spell bellatriz hit sirrius with in the book. i don't think it was the advada kadavara though. He hits him with a spell and it blasts him into the archway. And they started the occulmency lessons too early. In the book harry doesn't go straight to learning occulmency, theres time in beteween. And luna doesn't have brown hair she has dirty blond hair which is why they chose a blond and i too love the acting. Daniel did a superb job with making us feel how alone harry felt. You must be proud.

Sorry, I haven't seen it yet, so I can't properly say my opinion. After I see it, I'll let you know.

Yes, Swim. I'm terribly proud! My boy The Luna thing, dirty blond, more brown...struck me as odd that she was SO blonde. But I loved her character so it didn't matter.

This snot person entertains me with this random posting.

Jenny-ferr, I haven't seen the movie... and I probably won't until it comes on HBO.

Did you finish the book (7th) because I finished it in three days (could have done it much faster if my parents had left me alone.

Also, YOU STOLE MY MAN!

My dog tries to eat bunnies... sad... I save them.

Then I put them back in their nice little bunny nest.

This has to be the first random person I have picked on that has led to a very slow conversation. It's quite distressing, normally my random subjects just ignore me...
