I Love Harry Potter


Yes, I admit it. I am one of the many obsessed fans out there who just can't get enough. We saw "The Order of the Phoenix" last night. Fantastic movie! It stayed very true to the book with only a few minor changes to the story. The special effects were great & the score was beautiful. It definitely helps if you read the books beforehand. I don't want to give too much away if you don't know the story, but my favorite scenes were at the end with Fred & George and then when everyone is at The Department of Mysteries. Imelda Staunton played Umbridge perfectly, in my opinion & Evanna Lynch did a great job as Luna, especially for having no prior acting experience. You should definitely go see this movie, even if you're not into the whole Potter mania. It's still a very entertaining movie, definitely the scariest though. There were a few kids in front of us that got quite frightened at the end. Anyway, now I'm just waiting for The Deathly Hallows to come out next Saturday (the final book). We have pre-ordered 2, so that we can read them at the same time. Yeah I know, we're nerds. I am quite sad that the series is ending. At least I have 2 more movies to look forward to though.

Too funny, Joe likes the harry potter books. I've seen the movies, but I've been out of my reading mood for a few years. I read the first one though with Caden, we will see the movie soon too. Glad you liked it, i've heard only good things so far about the movie.
