A Random Monii

So. The Order of the Phoenix movie.

I loved it. All of it. Of course, I’d read a few reviews beforehand, so I was mostly picking up on what other people noticed. But I still loved it.

I loved:

• The educational decrees all on one wall (then later falling off).
• The awesome… set design? I’m not sure how to say it. I liked the Department of Mysteries, all shiny and stuff. Umbridge’s magical announcer-megaphones reminded me of Brave New World, as did the huge Fudge poster in the MoM.
• The Sirius-Harry relationship. So sad. All the hugging and angst and Harry’s question over whether he’s a bad person. He’s such a woobie.
• The fact that Rupert, Dan and Emma have improved in leaps and bounds, acting-wise. Their little laughing scene after Harry’s kiss seemed really natural and unscripted.
• Someone else pointed out Aberforth and his goat, Ron and Hermione dressing in stripes, and Minerva stealing every scene she was in…but I loved those bits too.
• I was sad like whoa for poor Trelawney. They did it so well, I wanted to hug the poor lady.
• I loved Harry teaching DADA. So awesome.
• LUNA. Loved Luna to bits <3
• The Snarky Snape… “I may vomit.” After the Worst Memory he was all angry and sad and just… awww.

And about a bazillion things more. The only things off the top of my head that I didn’t love was the fact that Snape’s Worst Memory was way way too short. And… did I hear the Half-Blood Prince’s spells being used in Harry’s DADA lessons? Confused much?

I wanna go see it again.
