Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix!
Just got back from OotP and here are some
Two Slytherins and a Ravenclaw. We girls just have to much fun dressing up for this stuff. :)
Very comfortable in my Ravenclaw duds.
I am so much smarter than yoooou...
Well, duh...
Givin the camera attitude.
As far as the movie itself, well, I had my complaints, but since this is my absolute favorite book in the series, that's not a surprise to me. The whole thing feels a little rushed, some of my very favorite parts are glossed over, and some stuff I thought was important was left out. I would have liked another 30 minutes of movie and more attention to the THEMES in the book, because as far as Order of the Phoenix goes, subtext is EVERYTHING. What I can say for the movie was that it was very stylistically pleasing, great music choices and all of the characters were well dressed and well lit. Not to mention Luna and Umbridge were AMAZING. I feel like I noticed a tendency not to let the stories mature, the movie seems to shy away from all the very adult things that start happening in the book at this point...or rather the adult things that Harry and friends start noticing. Except, predictably enough, sex. There are only two kisses in the whole of the movie but they stand out like big huge red flags and aren't so much kisses as full on make out sessions. Maybe I'm a bit prude about the boys and girls in Hogwarts, but come on, they're just discovering eachother, don't rush them!
