i just need to start off by saying that order of the pheonix is, by far, my favourite book in the harry potter series
and i know that stuff needs to be cut out of a 900 page book when it's being made into a 218 minute movie 
but...

first off, i feel like someone who hasn't read the book would be confused. i went with janna, who hasn't read the books

YAH. To, mostly everything ahaha.

The more I think about it, the more I'm put off by the AK and Sirius. Because it has too much um, direction? When it's a killing curse rather than something that is more of an accident. It's more tragic, more surprising if he just falls into it instead of like, dying and getting sucked backwards? I suppose, if they've built up Avada Kedavra throughout the movies they ought to use it on the big deaths, but ehh.

The movie just didn't work for me :(

the part of the book that was so heartbreaking was harry's response after the death... how he was like... no he's not dead, etc. then blew up at dumbledore. since we dont see that in the movie, it's kind of like... okay... he died. i knew he was going to die... so... yeah. i dunno. if we saw that, we'd be more atp to feel that emotion as harry was going through it. the silent scenes kind of drove me crazy. there were too many of them, so it made it seem a little too over dramatic. ohhh plus we dont know if the way he dies has some sort of effect in book seven. i guess if it was that important, jkr would have said something about the movie, but i dunno... there's obviously more to the veil than we know, so sirius being sucked into it and just... dying.. makes more sense. i wonder what curse bellatrix actually used though... i dont know if he was just like... stunned and fell backward of what. gah. less than two weeks. are you excited or what?

Hey after you are finished reading HP&TDH, please please put any spoilers you post behind a cut or something. Because I'm going to have to dread coming online for a while because I'm a slow reader. I'm trying to figure out who on my friends list will be reading it and requesting cuts. lmao. *preparing*

Were you at the midnight showing for the movie as well?

[webs_of_light]

ohhh if course ill put spoilers behind a cut! i dont plan on leaving my house before i read it, and i'm sure ill be done before anyone else i know, so no worries. i wouldn't want to ruin it for anyone!~

i did go to the midnight showing. what did you think?

Ooh I thought it was wonderful. I'm a little disappointed in the lack of Quidditch, Peeves, house elves, and the scene where the twins leave the school. I wish Umbridge looked a little more toad like, but I really couldn't complain because the lady played the part wonderfully. It had humor in all the right places, and Harry's kiss with Cho was just darling. Honestly, I was just glad to see Molly after missing her very much in the last movie.

After Sirius fell through the veil and Lupin grabbed a hold of Harry- it broke my heart. I could have cried if I wasn't in a packed cinema.

Tonks & Lupin forever.

yeah, i hoped umbridge would have been... wider. hah. but she did play the job great! it broke my heart when sirius said to harry, "after all this is over we'll be a proper family" ughhh but i wish harry like... blew up at dumbledore in his office. that scene was rather heartbreaking in the book.

have you seen/heard of the movie Driving LEssons? It has both Rupert Grint (Ron) and Julie Roberts (Molly) in it, and I loved it.

lupin and tonks forever! i agree. tonks was pretty good, i wanted to see more of her. purple hair suits her well!

I just got back and I thought it was AMAAAAAAAAAZING!

But, yeah, one reason why I don't go back and re-read the books before I see the movie is because I'll notice more things that were wrong or got left out, and I really think that with this book/movie I wouldn't have enjoyed it if I'd read the book ANY time recently. Apparently a lot of people think that OotP got "raped" in its movie translation.

And I liked Fred and George's leaving scene A LOT. Pretty much my favorite part.

But I thought the movie was totally bitch-ass awesome and I plan on seeing it a million trillion times. My favorite of the Potter movies so far.
