Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was amazing. Wow. I have to say bravo to the screenwriter because he cut out enough things to make it work and still have the story flow right. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was/is, pretty much, the shining beacon of perfection, but I have to say Order of the Phoenix is running very close behind it. Which is funny since OotP was one of my least favorite of the series (though since rereading it several times, I've grown to like it a little bit more. It's just that Harry is so emo in OotP!). It definitely felt less choppy than Goblet of Fire for me. Like, it flowed pretty well and it didn't have that "I must shove everything in that book into 2 hours!!!!"

The scenes in the Department of Mysteries were ahhh. So good. Dumbledore/Voldemort throwdown!! Kickass. They did take out a lot of stuff, much like they took out the giggling pear in Goblet of Fire. I wanted to see more things and... I'm starting to nitpick at everything, lol. I could go on with a whole list but my god, Luna Lovegood was exactly how I pictured her. That dreamy voice, that spaciness, everything! That girl was great.

Overall, I liked it very much.

And now I must prep myself for this Friday/Saturday.
