Order of the Phoenix

After reading the book a second time-- i REALLY hope that the movie doesn't cut out all the nitty bit scenes and focus on the useless ones, like harry kissing Cho, or Cho crying and whining half the time!

I want to see how they portray thestrals (large winged horses visible to only those who have witnessed death) and i really hope they don't cut out the Fred-and-George-running-amuck scenes (the fireworks and the swamp), Firenze will make another appearance and i do hope i get to see Grawp (a giant Hagrid brought back from the mountains). He seems quite a handful! I'm looking forward to the gathering of Dumbledore's Army with Defence Against the Dark Arts conducted in the Room of Requirement?? Oooh! this is also the book where Ron and Hermione display traits of fights-before-falling-in-love. haha. I haven't yet finished the book a second time, so might have to do just that to refresh my ailing memory.

So with the kids trying to get through their OWLs (ordinary wizarding level) and Voldemort returning with all his death eaters escaping from Azkaban, coupled with the villians like Dolores Umbridge and Bellatrix Lestrange.... i'm sure Order of the Phoenix will prove to be an all rounded plot, although it leads to a darker Half-Blood Prince.

have u seen the movie yet? it has most of the things you mentioned. i thought it was a pretty good, almost 'frill-less' adaptation, but as usual, the book is BETTER!
