I agree 100% with this review. Someone I saw it with mentioned the Cho change up, but introducing another cast member would have been a big mistake. My only complaint was that they used Cho's mistake as the reason for her and Harry's break-up rather than Cho's depression about Cedrick and general annoyingness.

I have to say that I really enjoyed the dueling scenes with the adults. I consider it a nice change of pace from the usual "Teen is smarter/wiser/stronger than ALL the adults and therefore saves the world while keeping their adorable snarkiness" storyline. There is no doubt that Harry and gang are a bunch of talented kids(I might even say they have more energy), but to be honest the adults should be setting the bar. They are the ones with more fighting experience and therefore should handle situations like the Ministry battle as they are less likely to make mistakes. I loved how the level of magic escalated when the order arrived and you see more intense dueling. Thats what I liked about the fifth book as the adults are calling more of the shots. Maybe they arent always the best shots(see Umbridge), but I'll take a Tom/Dumbledore battle anyday over a "stupefy".

My only problem with Cho/DA is the fact that it screws up the relationship between Cho and everyone else. It just annoys me.

What also annoyed me was the lack of prefects. WTF?
