Went to watch Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix today. Have been waiting for the movie ever since i saw the trailer earlier this year as i am a fan of all the previous movies & books. The 4 predecessors were quite good so i expect this new movie to be as good if not better than the rest but to my disappointment, this newest installment was quite a disappointment, maybe perhaps i read the book beforehand and thus knew the plot well enough to notice so many of the parts being scrapped off in the movie... But effects wise i guess the movie was not bad and seeing the characters being in a world full of adventures and dark magic makes me fantasize myself as 1 of the characters :p
As all Harry Potter fans would know, this fifth series was about the start of the rise of Lord Voldemort and the prophecy of Harry Potter. Several parts such as the role of Neville Longbottom in fighting Voldemort has being cut off (poor neville) and scenes like the romantic fling between Cho and Harry and the most anticipated one between Ron and Hermonie are just being briefly brought through... But the scene of the fight between Dumbledore and Voldemort is quite exciting for the special visual and sound effects really makes one feel the intensity of the fight. Throughout the movie, the demanding and mean ways of Dolores Umbridge in Hogwarts also added a sense of humour in this story full of dark magic..
Although the movie fell a little out of my expectations, i guess it is still a must watch for Harry Potter fans having already finished all the 4 movies and the 6 books. Right now, the 7th and last installment of the series is coming out soon! Don't think will buy it just yet but still am excited over how the story will end and most importantly, will Harry defeat Voldemort? Will Hermonie and Ron be together? And who will Harry eventually be with? Hmm..anticipation... :)
