Movie: Harry Potter and The Order of Phoenix

Watching the Weasleys were certainly becoming nice treats, they're really growing into such a handsome family. Look at the twins! ...Nice... ;-p

It's funny how my eyes instantly ignored Radcliffe or Watson, and went straight to Grint whenever they appeared together.

Radcliffe sure was looking the part, though, looking like a drug addict *grin* (so skinny, and is he shrinking or everybody around him just seemed to grow taller?).

He certainly gave us the feel on how someone would look like if you have a dark lord after your life in every 1 of 3600s. No wonder people of the wizardly world thought his loosing it.

Sirius Black was looking as handsome as ever, really brought me back to the time when he was playing as the Count. Ooh, I also loved the way Fiennes hold his magic wand, so cool and character's detailed. And what do we have here? Helena Bonham Carter? Gee, I guess the British really unleashed all of their power here! She always can take my breath away...

Speaking about the new joined casts, I enjoyed Imelda Staunton's Dolores Umbridge. The all-the-way pink outfits and the pink office and the whole wall of cats pictures were simply LOVELY, dear (said it with a thick British accent, please ;-p). And also Luna Lovegood was definitely stealing the screens away. Cho Chang was like... "Who? Which one is her?" While she actually had a kissing scene with Potter, poor girl...

I guess the challenge to stick into the audiences minds grew bigger now, with all the characters competing.

As for the story, I'm glad it has been 4 years (was it?) since I read the fifth book of this series. My friend, who just finished reading it again--after she didn't even know now for how many times--two weeks ago, complained a lot about the details that weren't there.

I said to her, "Hey, never expect too much from the screened written works. Just treat them as a completely different work if you don't want to get disappointed."

And that way of thinking sure has saved me again from the complaints, I was very at peace with my thoughts. I simply enjoyed the movie, which was kind of a great entertainment, as a matter a fact!

PS. Trivia: You may have noticed that in the Griffindor's Common Room, there were some tapestries that resembled the Lady and the Unicorn tapestries. Cool...!!
