    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

    I saw the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix last night. When Dumbledore's Army meets in the Hog's Head, we see the inn keeper for just a moment... and he's wearing a kilt.

    was it any good? I love the book series but knew I had to be at work at 7 in the morning.

    I have enjoyed all the others enough to purchase them.

    It was a very grey-shot scene, and hard to tell. I did notice the kilt, though! (Got invites to a 6:30 showing/sneak preview.)

    It's very choppy. I understand that a certain amount of condensing had to be done, given the time they had to work with, and the length of the book... but I don't think they did a great job with the condensing. If you imagine someone who has seen the previous movies, but not read the book, I think they'd be quite confused.

    Luna Lovegood is amazingly well cast.

    I felt that way about the last Potter movie "Goblet of Fire". If one hadn't read the book I would expect a lot of "Huhs?"

    I just read it. So I would be ready for the movie. I read into the wee hours last night to finish up the last 375 pages. This morning came way to fast!

    I never read the books. Too many pages & not enough pictures. I guess I'll see the movie when it comes out in DVD.
