Order of the Phoenix

I saw Harry Potter last night, and I'm not afraid to say so...

I thought it was great, maybe the best so far. The pace was a bit rushed at times, but that's the nature of this beast - condensing Rowling's increasingly rambling novels will be more and more of a challenge as the series goes on. It was fun, it was funny, and even the final fight scene managed to engage me, though I'm usually bored by action.

I felt actively ashamed reading some of Book #6, bits of it were just that badly written. If things continue along these lines, the Potter film franchise might soon surpass the books for quality...
