Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

I havent read the books either and I cant stand the films. So much of it seems random and disjointed. Whenever I question someone on it they always say, "well they explain it in the book..." The problem is that it's a film...not a book. Two totally different mediums. Its like saying, "I didn't like that picture of Michelangelo's David...the sculpture was better". Don't mean to vent, but I used to be a film critic for a newspaper and get a little irritated with the constant film to book comparison.

That and I dont feel that acting is anything worth noting either.

Dang - you got here before me.

The kilt is seen briefly - about long enough to realize it's a kilt.

I also agree - Luna was very well cast.

The movie does seem a bit choppy, but when considering the size of the source material, I don't have any objections to what was eliminated.

Now - I just need to reread book 6 before book 7 comes out.

Glad I'm not the only one! I'm happy to say I have not read any of the books, and only saw part of the first movie.
