i suspect it's the nargles
I just got back from watching Order of the Phoenix at midnight (really around 12:30, after previews). Basically: Wow. It was insane. I love Harry Potter dorks. The audience was fantastic. The movie itself was pretty good. The directing was awesome, and I loved the whole "fight back against the Ministry!" feel. I didn't like the book much, but I still felt like the ending of the movie left out a lot. I usually don't even care about that stuff, but I admit to feeling disappointment with the Dept. of Mysteries and the recap meeting in Dumbledore's office. It was, like, two sentences. I can't quite explain it. I was just left wanting more. The whole movie just flew by. They did a superb job condensing Umbridge's take-over plot, but there seemed to be less and less of everyone else. The adult actors really were underused in this movie. And I found myself missing Malfoy! Maybe he wasn't in the fifth book that much...Oh, and Snape's memory was way too effing short. It was basically "James is a bastard." And they didn't even show Harry grasping with the fact that his dad was indeed an asshole to Snape. But Order of the Phoenix is still a great movie by all means. Very entertaining. I LOVED Fred and George, Luna, the whole D.A. thing. And they actually threw in hints to the 6th book! Very little delusional H/Hr love for me :( But Ginny was kickass, Cho was a little bitch, and R/Hr was really cute. Ermmm, yeah, that's pretty much it for now. I need to see the movie a second time or discuss it with everyone else tomorrow. Maybe I'll have more thoughts then. Now to get 3 hours of sleep, then go to my grandparents' and get 2 hours of sleep. Stupid ridiculous system. I wish my parents would just let me stay home alone.
In closing, I love love love Harry Potter. And happy 7/11 Day! Don't forget to get your free Slurpee!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that we were SECOND in line. Thank you SO much, Kathryn! If it wasn't for you and your friends, we would have been something like tenth - fifteenth. It was crazy being at the front and screaming and cheering. We did that right before the movie came on too. Someone led the audience in a wave and scream match haha.
