Subject: BS: Harry Potter - Order of the Pheonix
I know I am going to get sent away with a flea in my ear for saying this, but I thought the new Harry Potter film was superb. I guess it's not for everyone and some folks are tired of the formula. I'm still a fan - a huge fan. I saw it with my son and girlfriend this afternoon and I was not just royally entertained - I was moved. The cinematography was as lovingly executed as always. It had the best direction ever. It was very pacy and had moments of black humour. The special effects were stunning and the performances of some of the minor characters were very moving. Ginny Weasley somehow established a strong presence without saying a word. I felt the film really transcended its genre and also came over as a strong statement about the value of loyalty and friendship. It has been some time since I enjoyed a film that much.
