Count me as another HP non-reader and fan of the movie series. We saw Order at a matinée today, and other than the family that brought the crying infant into the theater, it was an entirely pleasurable experience.

While my favorite movie so far was Azkaban (I think), this was also lots of fun. I think I enjoyed this one because the "villain" for most of the piece was bureaucratic paranoia, which resonated just a bit with us newspaper readers.

Heather and I had a conversation after the movie (which we are wont to do), and it occurred to us that they really didn't mention in this flick what would happen to the world if Voldemort actually wins. Yes, I'm sure they discussed it at great length in previous films, but it seems that as a non-reader it would make sense if they would at least toss in a line or two about the dire consequences that the world would experience should Voldemort vanquish our hero.
