Unbelievable

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2007)

I have not read any Harry Potter books, whatsoever, except for PoA. But the movies are just as good. They may not include every detail in the book (and may leave out a lot of things), and as my sisters said, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix did just that.
But you know what? It didn't matter.
The movie was spectacular! It brought all the characters we know and love to life. It transformed Hogwarts into a massive castle-like school with elaborate entrances and amazing scenery. The area surrounding Hogwarts is absolutely incredible. Everything looks so real and is so well-done.
The story-line was good no matter what people say. Sure, it's much different from the book, but if they included every single detail from the book, the movie would be 15 hours long! 2 hours and 18 minutes gave me enough time to watch the movie and enjoy it the whole way through.
The acting was absolutely spot-on. I particularly like Imelda and Evanna as Umbridge and Luna Lovegood. They did amazing jobs portraying what J.K. Rowling would want to see. Daniel Radcliffe did amazing job with his role. It seemed as if he was more "alone" in this movie than the others, even though he has new friends. The other characters did great jobs, also. But I wanted to see more of Malfoy in the movie.
My favorite scene was the battle with Harry, Dumbledore, and Voldemort. Incredible graphics made it look real.
I'm not going to say anymore, so go see it for yourself. It is unbelievable!
