Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (SPOILERS)

[Gemini Cricket]

I saw HPATOOTP tonight. I loved it.
I think it ranks second for me with Azkaban being first.
Imelda Staunton is wonderful in this film. Sweetly evil.
The Weasley Twins' rebellion scene is fantastic. Well done.
I really have no big complaints about this film. They skipped over the business with Sirius' mom's portrait and the whole statue thing in the Ministry but I liked it.
What bugged me with the story (which is from the book) is that they never really explained the archway very well and what it was or why Black is now dead because he fell into it. Or maybe they did explain it and I don't remember... I don't know.
One thing I kept thinking was how amazing it would be to be on the set when they shot the Trelanwey's expulsion scene... Emma Thompson, Maggie Smith, Imelda Staunton and Michael Gambon on set all at the same time. What heaven that would be.

And the Weasley twins were cute cute cute. Rupert Grint is a cutie too.


I teared up a couple of times during this one, too. When Sirius called Harry "James" it made me all misty eyed.
