Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (SPOILERS)

Yeah, that did not have the emotional wallop it should have. I don't know why. They set up Harry and Black's relationship just fine, I thought. The audience seems to like Sirius Black. The muted-sound Harry screaming reaction was trite, but somewhat tried and and true. I just don't get why it wasn't more of an ooomph.


Perhaps if they'd portrayed the gateway more as it was in the book, and had Sirius slip through it without being killed first ... I guess there would have been the same uncertainty in the movie as in the books about his death, but I believe there would have been more of an emotional reaction to his mysterious disappearance than there was to his actual murder.

Count me in the ranks who haven't read the books but generally enjoy the films.

I agree with the questions about the arch. It didn't seem to be explained as to what it was. I have no idea of its significance.

I really liked the actress' portrayal of Luna.

It's not really explained in the book either, but you get the feeling it will be.

What, you mean like Harry is gonna jump in there and retrieve Sirius? I guess that is a possibility.
