Why the long face, Mr. Potter?

Rating: 8/10 (30 July 2009)

In the Summer of 2007, I went to Europe. I had recently grown a huge obsession with Harry Potter.Ever since the first film, the Potter films kept getting better and better. THe Goblet of Fire and The Prisoner of Azkaban were amazing films. THe day I left for Europe, the fifth film was released and I couldn't see it. I had high hopes for the fifth installment. Many weeks later I saw it. I was a little disappointed. The fifth book was the best book. The fifth film wasn't the best. It wasn't exactly the worst either, it was the Potter film that was in between. THe problem with it was that Umbridge lady. She was so evil...she was like Dick Cheney. She was even more evil than some of the other witches in the film. All she was was some British woman walking around wearing pink. The other problem was that Harry (the usually good Daniel Radcliffe) just walked around the school getting into arguments with people. I don't think I saw him smile once throughout the entire film, no exaggeration. I liked it the least for a long time. Then recently,before I saw The brilliant Half-Blood Prince again, I thought I'd watch them in order. Then I saw Order of the Phoenix again and was more impressed by it than ever. The cast was impressive. THe movie was impressive.
