Took my kids and some of their friends to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
I won't post any spoilers, but I will say that I enjoyed this movie much more than the last two and almost as much as the very first one. It is a bit darker than previous movies, but I would highly recommend it.

I heard that the new book has been leaked on the Internet via bit torrents. How desperate do you have to be to read it that way?
not a potter fan here - the children have also banned it from the house - too dark.
i told them a few years ago in order to watch or read potter, they'd have to make a trade with me - they have to watch or read something i choose that shows the pros and cons of the series. they agreed and asked to get rid of hp.
caryl matrisciana (sp) has a wealth of info on the subject if you ever want to check her out.
we do, however, love the series of unfortunate events - i'm stuck on book the eleventh. they're nonsensical and harmless.
This is the darkest movie of the series, but I have to say I loved it.
Then again, I've always dabbled in
the dark side ;-)
My kids loved the unfortunate events series too, but hated the way it ended.
I hope it doesn't foretell a bad ending for the Potter series.
I have much I'd like to say about darkness of the series... but this post is about the movie.
I loved it, too, cube. I thought they did what they needed to make it a good film. Not too far from the book; changes where it made sense. And the IMAX exp. was fantastic.

I just can't get into HP. :/
I guess it's just too fad for my tastes.
I do like the SoUE, very funny!
I just read that the NY Times published a review of the book before it's even released!
Leaking secrets, big or small, is their only hope at grasping for readership.
They are despicable.
Glad you enjoyed the film Cubicle.
I noticed that lots of critics have panned it, showing, for the millionth time, that the opinion of professional critics is worth diddly-squat.
The Narnia chronicles ended with all of the children being neatly killed off in a train accident. One way to stop speculation about a come back.
caz: It's just a matter of taste. I think if you have memorized the book, the movie might disappoint.
I have only read up to book #3, so I didn't have that problem with this movie.
I was just grateful that HP5 didn't have the interminable school dance sequence of HP4. I didn't like coming of age crap when I was coming of age!
