Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

July 25th, 2007

Last tuesday night I went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix with my wife and cousin. I was a little leery going in because I was such a huge fan of this book, and because this book was the biggest so far. So I was also filled with anticipation to see how well they put all the information in the book into a 2 1/2 hour movie.As expected it was not as good as the book but none of the movies have been. It was beautiful and fun but went by way too fast. Because of the huge size of the book the movie jumped from one big event to the next. The movie covered all the important points but was seriously lacking compared to the book. It moved so fast that the movie could have been a little longer to incorporate some of the finer details that made the book so good.

The bottom line is that the movie is worth seeing, whether you have read the book or not. If you haven’t read the book then you won’t know what’s missing and if you have read the book it will inspire you to read it again to remember all those details.

ENJOY.
