♥ The Order Of The Phoenix ♥
Woohoo!! I’ve watched Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix!! It was sooo cool!! The special effect was really superb!! The music played really bring out the emotion of all the scenes effectively.. There’s one drawback though. The story was changed a bit.
The first thing that they changed was how Dumbledore’s Army was caught. In the book, a student who revealed about the secret society was hit with a curse. The parchment that all members of the society wrote their name on was equipped with a curse which will be placed on to whomever who doesn’t noe how to keep their mouth shut. In the movie, it was Cho Chang who was unwillingly told about the society. Ironically, she didn’t get any curse.
The second thing was that Cho Chang was supposed to be crying when she was kissing with Harry. In the movie, there were no tears at all.
The third thing was how the twin Weasleys created havoc before their departure from the school. It was not during the OWL (Ordinary Wizarding Level) examination. There was supposed to be a mess at one of the corridors that was irremovable but it was not made into the scene. That was supposed to cause Flich (caretaker) and Professor Umbridge (Head of Hogwarts after the abrupt departure of Albus Dumbledore) a lot troubles.
The fourth thing was that in the book, Harry was interviewed and his side of the story was printed in The Quibbler (wizard magazine). The story created an uproar in the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts. Again, they omitted this part from being made into the scene in the movie.
The fifth was how Harry and Cho Chang broke up. In the book, they both broke up during a date on Valentine’s Day. In the movie, they broke coz Cho Chang revealed the location of the Army’s training ground.
There a lot more differences that u muggles can see if u’ve been reading the book. There were 2 scenes that were so funny that the whole auditorium filled with roars of laughter.
It was after Dumbledore’s escape from being caught. The way he escaped was so cool. One of the Minister’s bodyguards who secretly was on Dumbledore’s side, Kingsley Shacklebolt said, “Well, you’ve got to admit that he’s got style..” It made not sound funny here but u’ll be laughing when u watch the movie. The way the actor said it was so hilarious.
Then there was this part when Harry tried to tell Snape about his premonition. Then Snape turned around and give this face that was asking for a tight slap and said, "No idea". The face was quite funny sey.
There was also this sad part when Voldemort mentally tortured Harry. It was so sad that I was on the verge to burst into tears. The sad music didn't help either. But must tahan lah coz got my friend with me.
Overall, I would rate the movie 3 ½ stars just like the critics. The movie focused more on Harry than what was going on around him. If u got extra money n is a die-hard fan of Harry Potter, u surely got to watch it. No regrets. Peace!!
