Shall there be Potter
Oh man, I love how I never post here. I love that my posts from 2 years ago are still in the first page. And everybody I knew who had LJ pretty much never write anymore. Anyway, time to review/recap Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. This post is for champions, and friends. Or if you must, my "HP" friends, just because nobody else would have the patience.
Ok, so you are a Potter head. Watching the midnight showing (obviously), excited as if you just got a job promotion. Lights go down, music starts, Warner and Potter logo, audience going crazy... I LOVE being in fandoms :D. Harry Potter is going through his emo phase and his cousin is still a fat pain in the ass. Dementors fired from "Scream" appear outta nowhere, Harry and his cousin run, the camera runs too. Yes, the camera runs. And right there I knew this was gonna be my favorite one.
Petunia is horny, Vernon wants Radlciffe in Equus, you blink and the Order of the Phoenix (including our favorite Puff, Tonks) is in Privet Drive. Squeee. Wait... I don't see Lupin. Where is Lupin? I want Lupin! Lupin/Tonks interaction!!! Order flies over London, number twelve appears between eleven and thirteen. What, no "I love magic" this time, Harry? Ok, the... I SEE LUPIN!!! And Sirius!!!! And useless Kreacher. The audience goes crazy again. Hellooo there, Mr. Grint. Looking good. And Emma, please stop moving your eyebrows and over-doing your scenes? I won't bother mentioning emo Harry or that would be all I'd do. Hey twins... hey Bonnie!! Harry hugs Sirius, every spoiled person goes "awww". Harry learns Voldemort is gathering his followers, goes to Ministry.
Ok, I love Arthur Weasley, I'd hang out with him in the Muggle world anytime. Ministry looks huge. Hittler's Fugde's giant portrait is a hint: politics in the Wizarding world are messed up right now. If you didn't get the memo, the Minister is talking to a Death Eater and you have now ancient people providing Mr. Potter a full trial for a simple use of underage magic. Audience cheers again: Dumbledore in the house. He mocks and instigates in old Dumbledore fashion. I don't care what most fans say, I actually like Michael's Dumby. He saves the boy-who-lives and then ignores him (muahaha).
Time to go to Hogwarts. Not before Sirius goes emo too, tell us war is coming and that it's time for the new generation to fight. Draco is still a pathetic kid, Voldie looks sexy in a suit, Cho... who cares about Cho. Hi, Neville. Ok, now I squee for the second time. Cause folks, they now give us... LUNA! I don't know if I continue squeeing or if I start laughing, since Evanna Lynch clearly (as everybody expected) IS Luna. I hope there's pudding too. Puuuudding, puuudding... ok, this is HP not OC.
Imelda's Umbridge is also perfect. And her song is perfect. You struggle.. do you kill her or do you laugh at her? I think I'd laugh at her, then kill her, then laugh a little more. But before I do that, time to punch Seamus and his stupid mother. Or maybe drool over Ron. Sidekick, canon, loyal Ron. Nobody believes Harry, nobody wants to believe Voldemort is back. How typical. And that means if you voice the truth, you're screwed and can get nasty scars on your hand.
Harry is feeling an outsider while Ron and Hermione are busy flirting. I can't help but have a little crush on Rupert, but I won't talk about it, cause I'm no fangirl. Some scenes to fill the movie. And that is actually a great break, we get to see more Luna and funny scenes with Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman. Yeah, yeah, yeah... everybody knows I'm in love with Alan Rickman, sorry to upset you, but I already said I won't go fangirlish here (he's just so amazing!).
Turns out the Umbdrige character is getting serious, she attempts to ship Emma Thompson off. Too bad master!Dumbledore won't let her. Still, the woman goes power crazy and the students decide to form Dumbledore's Army so they can learn how to defend themselves and flirt a little more. What I loved the most was Ginny. I love OotP Ginny. She's independent she's powerful, she's down to earth. I wish Harry would see that and fall for her back then, instead of in HBP. But since he's an idiot, he kisses pretty Cho Chang (for two centuries). Oh well.
Now everything starts getting more and more creepy. Harry sees Arthur getting attacked in one of his dreams. It's time to close his mind or Voldemort could use him. I'll take any excuse for more Alan Rickman scenes. Arthur is fine, by the way, and is back for Christmas. Ron and Hermione flirt some more (ahaha, sorry, I'm such a shipper). And Sirius share with Harry a very touching scene about feeling lonely and about choosing to act on our good feelings. Great music, I admit I felt something in my throat.
Back to Hogwarts from hell, D.A. becomes a little bit about friendship... we learn a bit about Neville's feelings. The Room of Requirement is a good escape, but Umbdrige finds them. Dumbledore takes the blame and gives the Ministry a reason to send him to Azkaban... Only that he has no such desire, so he takes off with his beautiful phoenix. Oh well, you may not like him, but Dumbledore's got style (YES, THEY LEFT THAT QUOTE IN!! Audience laughs and claps).
Hogwarts is now a nightmare, so scared Hagrid decides to share a secret, just in case: he's got a giant brother that gives Ron and Hermione another chance to flirt (teheee, sorry, I'll stop). Meanwhile, we get more hilarious Snape scenes. As much as I'd love Alan to be part of my memories, he scared the hell outta me showing up at Harry's, but then he made me laugh "Feeling sentimental?", "I may vomit". We see Snape's worst memory. Harry's mother is not there. Fans go mad. Why!? I actually think they decided to save that footage for Deathly Hallows. Besides, you can't really be mad when they give you the twins escape. But Harry party pooper Potter decides it's time to fight Voldemort, cause unlike Hermione, he thinks Voldemort actually has Sirius in the mysterious Department of Mysteries, full of... mysterious balls and doors. So they use their brains (even Ron) and have the centaurs catching Umbitch and get some thestrals. Harry doesn't have to do all this by himself after all.
By this point, my heart is freaking me out, as I think it will come out of my chest. They are in a dark place, desert really. Harry listens the classic prophecy. Neither can live while the other survives. O-ow... Death Eaters. Bellatrix is mental. And we love Helena for it. I really wish I could watch this thing in 3D. Ginny blows the entire place up. They are now in the veil room. The order is here, they are white fog. Tooooonks!!! Crazy duels going on. Avada Kedavra. WHAT!?!?! There's NO AK in the book whatsoever!!!! I scream "that's ridiculous!!!!". I even forget I'm watching Sirius' death. Sorry, movie is not book, I get it... but DON'T change something as big as Sirius' death!!!
Ok, Harry runs behind Bellatrix, only to find Tom Riddle. Before they have a chance to play "Expelliarmus versus AK" Dumbledore is there and crazy shit happens. That's some really powerful and old magic right there. Loved the 4 elements stuff. Fudge's painting breaks to a million pieces. Voldemort gives up and possesses Harry. Flashbacks, Harry fights Voldemort with love (did you say cheese?). "You are the weak one, and you'll never know love, or friendship. And I feel sorry for you." Wow, that's beautiful, I really did want to see the original one with Daniel screaming "KILL ME!", but I'll take that. Voldemort leaves Harry's body and calls him a fool, just as the Minister sees the Dark Lord and goes "He's back!". What a genious, brains like that he could be a Death Eater... or the president of the US of A!!! Now Dumbledore says he loves Harry too much and that's why he ignored him :-D. Yes, I see and agree with your reasoning, Dumby. And oh yeah,by the way, you will have to kill Voldemort, good luck with that. At least now he knows love is worth fighting for.
Credits. Honest applauds. Really canon one, most well acted one... my favorite. I won't use perfect, but it's nice to watch Harry Potter and be pleased, I nearly forgot it was possible. THANK YOU, David Yates. I wish you wouldn't have to work with Kloves for HBP.
