Order Of The Phoenix-Seen it yet?

The Nargles took my shoes

I saw it! I thought it was awesome.

Not yet, but came across this:



I remember playing with one of these in the stores a few years back.

i am absolutely smitten by the character of luna... i fell for her a bit in the book, but her portrayal on screen did me in. her wardrobe and hair were both done in way that always gets me IRL... the floaty, monotone delivery the actor used was even better then i imagined. now i'm going to re-read order of the phoenix and spend some more time with her. *sigh* if only she were real.

did anyone else notice how many characters wore converse shoes? i was wondering if it was intentional product placement, but then i noticed that they bleeped the logo out. does that still count?

luna was the absolute best of the movie. great movie itself, but compared to the book, there were important things that were left out. For example: how did they take out the part where Petunia talks about the dementors and when Harry realizes for the first time that she's her mother's sister????! !! that's important, isn't it????

Loved the movie way more than the book, but then again I hated this book for reasons others have already mentioned.

I did like the movie though, but I agree - there were some things they left out that they could have easily added, since they weren't at 3 hours yet.

- The prophecy in its complete form. They did have a scene with dumbledore and Harry talking, they did the scene, just left out the part about Trawlney telling the prophecy, and the whole thing . . . Why didn't they keep it like in the book? Especially the part about Neville.

- Agreed about the part about Petunia. It kinda matters in book seven, a little.

- Them leaving out the mirror is a slight problem - It comes in handy in book 7. But the movie made more sense without it.

- It would have been very nice if they kept in the sccene at the hospital. It was very funny, and it was impoirtant to getting to know Neville better. This really was his book to shine, afterall.

Other than that, pretty happy with it.

if i were writing these, i would have made all the subplots left out in the movies very, very important in the seventh book.

I saw the movie yesterday, and agree it should have been much longer - or even split into two movies released a few months apart.

There were too many scenes they missed out entirely - or skimmed over too quickly. I felt the dream scenes weren't shown enough, and the scene in the penseive was much too sort given its importance
