welcome to my world

We went to watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix last Thursday, 12 July 2003 at the Shangri La Mall. I can’t really recall if I watched movies there before but the moviehouse was of good quality. It’s really important when you’re watching a good film and with lots of fun CGs on it.

If you’re an avid reader of the book, somehow you would be disappointed with the storyline. As always, a lot of events weren’t included in the movie. But then again, you’d have to expect this coz the movie is just 2 hours long.

Also, Ron’s character wasn’t given that much focus in the movie. He only said a few lines and didn’t really do anything extraordinary.

Good riddance to Cho Chang’s character, as well, even if the movie deviated from the book’s events. It wasn’t Cho who squealed about the organization; it was her friend. I said good riddance to Cho’s character coz the actress playing Cho hasn’t given the role that much justice.

Valdemort wasn’t as scary as he seemed to be. He lacked that evilness that he projected on the book. More makeup, I think hehehe

On to the good parts…

I say GREAT JOB! on the casting. They really chose their characters well. The two characters that really stood out in this movie are Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton) and Luna Lovegood (Evanna Lynch).

Staunton really brought Umbridge’s character to life; motherly yet annoying. She has this really irritating laugh that got on everybody’s nerves. Lynch, on the other hand, was the perfect Luna; dreamy and lost in her own world.

As usual, hurray for Dumbledore, Sybil Trelawny and Snape.

And my, how the main characters have grown and the old-timer children ^_^ Was kinda sad Harry isn’t as cute as he was when they first started out. But Hermione, tsk tsk tsk, that’s a different story. She’s one hot chick! ^_^

All in all, the movie was fun. We had a great time watching it ^_^
