GUEST MOVIE REVIEW, by Claire AielloHello – once again I am too lazy to keep a blog of my own, but Amber has graciously let me post a movie review on hers. I saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix this weekend, and once again, it leaves me ready for the next movie!
The film was very good. I have read Books 1 through 6, so nothing in it was a surprise to me when it happened, but it still stinks, knowing it’s going to happen… and there’s nothing you can do to prevent it.
*DON’T READ THE REST OF THE REVIEW IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE BOOKS AND WANT TO BE SURPRISED*
It just kills me, that Harry finally gets to spend some quality family time with his godfather (Sirius Black), his only living relative, and boom, he dies. It just stinks. I mean, you know it’s going to happen, and every time you see Sirius giving Harry advice, or straightening him out, you know it’s only for so long. And Sirius finally looks healthy! He’s got some food in him, he’s got some decent clothing, a great smile and doesn’t look like an escapee from Azkaban anymore. I was very sad when his death happened in Book 5, and knew it was coming when I saw the movie Sunday but it’s so hard to see it on screen. You really come to love the characters and the actors who portray them. Gary Oldman was really great as Sirius.
And another thing. How do you get to be in a painting at Hogwarts? These old schoolmasters, or historic figures get to be alive in a painting, talking with the students any time they want. Why can’t Sirius get to be in one of these so Harry can still visit with him?
Okay, I got that out. The movie was very good, and it was neat to see the Ministry of Magic come to life. I thought the cinematography was fantastic, especially with the scene at the end between Harry, Dumbledore and Lord Voldemort. Of course, the movie ends and leaves you wanting for more.. so I’ll have to wait another year or two for “Half Blood Prince” to be released in theatres.
I’m also looking forward to Book 7, due out this Saturday. I just hope Harry keeps his title as “The Boy Who Lived.”
