Hopefully, this film will continue the wisdom of departing from the book in major respects, and find a way to tell a story of dark and evil wizardry with the fun that such a tale calls for - despite what may be happening plotwise.

I'm with you. Order of the Phoenix was the hardest book for me to get through. Frankly, I was tired after I read it.

The trailer looks good, though, still dark, but I hop eplenty of good action. The Hallway of the Ministry looks very much like I imagined it would.

Order of the Phoenix was the hardest book for me to get through. After Goblet of Fire. Before Halfblood Prince. I think Rowling developed Anne Rice syndrome, convincing herself and those around her that every invention and wrinkle merited inclusion. Either that, or she started writing with one eye on the camera.

The OK Corral ending of Order of the Phoenix was tedious reading. I imagine it will look lively in the movie, though.
