Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Movie
July 17, 2007After much anticipation the 5th installment of the Harry Potter series was finally shown. I watched it last week and i know there a lot of reviews out there but oh well I still feel this need to air out what i've got to say. Well for those who have religiously read the books, the movie was a bit dissapointing. Books are always better than the movie and there are only rare occasions when the movie actually capture the essence of the book…just like the LOTR series, I read the book and I loved the movie versions. Of course i wasn't expecting that the movie would depict all the scene from the book but i just didn't like some of the portrayal of the scenes and characters. Here are some of them:
-
Dolores Umbridge should be ugly, somebody you would hate at first sight.
-
I didn't like the fight scene at the Ministry of Magic, it was a bit overboard, it should have been simpler with emphasis on the spells.
-
Cho Chang should'nt have been portrayed as the traitor. They made it look like Harry dumped her because she betrayed the DA.
-
The cleaning of the Grimmauld's living room should've been shown because it is where they had the first encounter with the locket which turned out to be the Horcrux.
-
I was most dissapointed with Fred and George's grand exit from Hogwarts, it should've been more grander.
There are still some but I forgot to take notes during the show.In fairness, the show was entertaining…maybe I just set such high expectations.
