I love the Harry Potter books and movies (who doesn’t?!) so much and Harry Potter and the
Order of the Phoenix is no exception. I still thought it was a little crammed and rushed though. There were tons of things that were left out but since I haven't read the book recently, it wasn't really that fresh in my mind so I didn’t really miss too many of the side plots in the book and was
able to enjoy the movie a lot more.My one pet peeve about the movie is; as I said above, it’s rushed. A lot of characters have minimal scenes (even Dumbledore) and I understand that they were trying to make it mostly about Harry and his emotions (friends, love, anger, etc.) but for heaven’s sake! In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince I hope the make it a little longer and
put an intermission in between or something.With the way I’m talking it makes it sound like I really didn’t enjoy the film. I did! I really did! I cried like I did with the book, my stomach was clenched up in a knot for half of the time, and the movie
was just plain cool. The visual effects alone are worth the price of admission (as usual). I’m truly looking forward to watching this on DVD and seeing what ended up on the cutting room floor.Official Site

Aha! Finally caught this Saturday afternoon. It's been several years since I've read the book. Yes a lot was dropped, but man, oh, man this movie rocked. I LOVE these movies. So awesome. I need to go see it again. Blew me away. They softened up Dolores Umbridge's character a bit. Only thing I noticed.
