MOVIE REVIEWS:
Harry Potter and the Order Of The Phoenix
We all went to the midnight showing. THAT was an experience, didn't know there were that many Harry Potter fans in Aurora--with costumes and wands! Hannah brought an eyeliner pencil and I drew little lightening bolts on our group's foreheads (About 40).
The movie was probably one of the best of the series. It did follow the book with a few exceptions. I liked this director's style much better than the last one. Harry is evolving into a leader finally. Neville is finally getting into the storyline. Not too much of Malfoy, he's still a follower. Snape has more lines this movie.
Favorite Character: Even though she is pure evil, Delores Umbridge does a GREAT job in portraying what and how a teacher shouldn't be like. And it's all done with a smile.
Scaryest Character: Voldemort and Lucious Malfoy. Uh! They scared everyone.
Holly's Scariest Character: Belletreux LeStrange, the crazy witch that put Neville's parents in the looney bin.
Favorite Room at Hogwarts: Miss Umbridges Office. Meowing cute kittens all over.
Sarah's Favorite: Poor Dudleykins. He's turning out to be a bully until the dementors get hold of him. His facial expressions were priceless.
Joe's Favorite Part: Voldemort and Dumbledor's fight, cool special effects.
Holly's Favorite Part: When Hermoine found it fun to break the rules. And Holly loved the whole movie.
Emma's Favorite Part: When it ended. She was tired and wanted to go to bed.
Overall, I'd see it again, even buy it. BUT.... it's not for the little ones. It was pretty intense and during the wand battle, someone dies. Hannah and her friends cried. There is one kissing scene in the movie. It doesn't elude to anything after..... That's the only "steamy" part in the
film. No bad language that I can remember, Emma did hear a new word though, "What's snogging, mom?" I told her it was kissing, was I right? Gross
I hope I didn't ruin any parts of the movie for you...I tried not to give anything away.
We got home at 2:30am this morning---I'm extremely tired but need to work on Hannah's college quilt.

Thanks! I was wondering if anyone went during the night! When you say not for the younger ones, what about age 12? DJ really wants to see it. We wouldn't let him see the last one since it was PG13, and he was so excited to hear this one was PG.
DJ would love it! I was thinking of the 8 and younger crowd. Has he read the books?
Yea, all of them. That is why it was killing him we wouldn't let him see the last one.... The movies scare me... I don't like that kind of stuff... so Don is looking forward to seeing it with him. Probably once it comes out on video. :-)
oooo, Thanks for the review, we can't WAIT to see it!
We've just barely introduced the boys to #1. And severly edited at that. Now Harry Potter is on the list of superheroes.
