Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix

Harry Potter Years 1-5 (Widescreen Edition)
$49.98
Since getting the collection of HP years 1-5, I've been able to watch each movie and understand the saga a bit easier. Occassionaly on tv a particular channel would be having a HP weekend special, but I wasen't always able to watch. Now that I have the DVD's I can view and review however often I desire.

OH MY GOSH!! How does this happen! How does a series start off wonderful and then become this fast moving train we have here. Half the time I couldn't tell what was going on! Thank goodness I read the book or I wouldn't have understood half of the halved halved scenes. Again discrimination against hous elfs, "Hermione where are you!!! Again Dobby's contribution to the movie is taken over by who els but the incompetant Neville who somehow finds it by strolling past it once when you're really supposed to walk past it three times thinking what you want it to become. Hermione somehow knows of the room already but I too lazy to find it. Kreacher, the cause of Sirius' death gets barely a minute on screen so why may I ask is he even in here, just so the moviemakers could say he was there. Also when harry was training in Occlumecy he did reflect Snapes Legilimency spell but he didn't see that scene becaus all you see from unfocused Legilimency is fragments of scenes. Again the makers are too lazy to bring in the pensieve and do an entire scene. When Harry sees the scene in Snape's head he decides he doesn't care and runs away. Also the issue with Cho Chang, the love affair with her started out fine but it ended with no explanation with them not even going out just POP! apart. Dolores Umbridge has been transformed from a toad like woman to a skinny pink clad cheery woman. There really aren't enough scenes to really hate her and I would have felt sorry for her if I didn't have the many more numerous things she does in the book! Anyways I've lost hope for this series. I wil be seeing the Half-Blood Prince but just to point out to my sister, who has not read the book, what's missing. Chris Columbas please save this series!

I am 31 years old and just started reading Harry Potter a few months ago. I never understood why people liked this story and why my friends read these books, they're for teens for goodness sakes. But I decided to try.... I read Sorcerer's Stone and thought it was ok, but someone told me to stick it out.... boy am I glad I did! I am officially addicted to this series. I LOVE Harry. I am about to start book 6, but hesitate to do so because I don't want the series to end! I want to take the last 2 books as slow as possible but I have a hard time putting them down they are so good. I liked Order of the Phoenix, it answered a lot of questions for me. I can't wait to get started on the last 2! If you are considering this series, do it, and stick it out too!
