Potter maniacs are out on the streets again with the latest movie in the Harry Potter series to grace the golden screen, ‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix‘. I for one went to Adlabs at the Palm Beach Galleria (Screen 2) to catch the first show at 10 AM on what seemed to be quite an early morning on Friday the 13^th

I loved the movie. It had more or less everything I wanted in the movie. I loved Alan Rickman playing Severus Snape, Imelda Staunton playing Dolores Umbridge and Evanna Lynch as Luna Lovegood after beating out 15,000 hopefuls for the role which had a line almost a mile long If you didn’t already know, Evanna Lynch is a huge Harry Potter fan

My favourite part was of course the fight at the end between Tom and Albus though all the other fights we depicted quite well as well. The part where Lord Voldemort possesses Harry and Harry realises that he is stronger because of all the love around him and his friends seemed to be kind of a cheap shot with Voldemort standing at the back a fake background created using a blue screen.

Overall it was a pretty nice movie. After the movie I hung out with a few friends at Center One
When I thought that was all the HP I’d have for the day, I was in for a surprise. At night, I saw a telecast of ‘Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone‘ on HBO I hadn’t seen it all that well the first time (when I caught it on Pogo a few years back 8-))

Not to mention the fact that the last book in the series, ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows‘ is going to come out this in less than a week’s time. I just hope that my friends read it quickly so that I can have a crack at it asap I’d rather read it myself that have the story told to me so I’ll probably stay off the internet until I get the book Not to mention that if someone randomly calls me and tells me the story, I’ll kill them

In case someone didn’t already know this, I thought its time I told the (very few) people actually reading this a little trick I use (in case they already didn’t know) to guess what’s going to happen in the upcoming book (since it is the last one :)). Always catch the movie because the movie can’t be as long and detailed as the book. They have to cut out some parts (unless its made by Peter Jackson :P). “WTF? Have you gone insane? They are showing us less things. How can that be good? ”
If you haven’t realised, here’s the secret. If they (script writers/directors/other people related to the development of the movie) cut out parts that are important for future plot lines (like unreleased books), the book writer (JKR) has to point it out to avoid problems.

What you must know about movie #5 is that in the initial script, Kreacher was left out. JKR has been quoted to say “You know, I wouldn’t [cut him] if I were you. Or you can, but if you get to make a seventh film, you’ll be tied in knots.” Needless to say, Kreacher was added back into the script albeit for only 2 scenes.
Now all you Potter-maniacs should be out trying to figure out all the things you thought were important/unimportant in the previous books that weren’t/were included in the previous movies and form your own theories about the final movie
Happy spell casting
