| | |  Early Order of the Phoenix Movie Preview!
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was previewed in Chicago this past weekend with a running time of 2 ½ hours.
*SPOILER WARNING*
Some of the main highlights are: Quote:
- The Dementors are more skeletal than in PoA
- The Dursleys are in the film for 10-15 mins, then Moody etc come to take Harry to Grimmauld.
- The twins do bust out of Hogwarts like in the book, but they don't cast the swamp spell. "It is one of the more memorable scenes in the movie. Incredible effects."
- Very little foreshadowing between Harry and Ginny - they share a look that book fans will recognize and appreciate.
- Dumbledore's escape was spectacular.
- The Black family tapestry is "lush and detailed" as Sirius explains it to Harry.
- The film centers on Harry and the DA on the whole.
- There aren't any "invented" scenes; it's all from the book.
- Dumbledore was "calm and inventive" during the Voldy battle, which was "great"; no curse whirled Herimone's way.
- On the cinematogrpaphy: "This film feels, cinematically, like a film from the 50's filmed in Cinema-Scope. A wide aspect ratio with tons of shots that have a lot of movement in them. The kind of thing that will be killed in P/S format on television. The scenes with the DA are all wide with few closeups so we can see everyone practicing. The walls are mirrored so it gives you the sense of a dance studio/martial arts training center. It makes for a great visual.
- Ron, Hermione, Luna and Neville are held by Death Eaters during the last battle.
- There is no St. Mungo's
- Sirius has a lot more screen time.
- The DA lessons "begin awkwardly," and are among the most memorable. One particular duel is going to "blow up the forums" (relating to shipping - as Emma Watson has said in the past that at one point she pins Ron against a wall, this is probably that duel).
- Mr. Weasley's attack is in the film.
- Bellatrix is "mean, no doubt, and lets Neville know he's #1 on her list." She doesn't interact with Harry much.
- No Quidditch, and no kiss from Hermione to Ron.
- The twins do sell their wares in the film.
- No Quibbler article, but Luna is reading it in the carriage pulled by the Thestral.
- Moody's broom is supposed to be fun/funny
- The Room of Requirement is discovered by Neville and explained by Hermione. No boggart. Ron never makes the film!Ron scared-face.
- Aunt Petunia's Howler is not in the film.
- The possession of Harry by Voldemort is in the film and supposedly very well acted.
- Lily does not stick up for Snape in the Worst Memory part.
- The "Snape's Worst Memory" scene is "much easier to bear" than in the books; it's not as humiliating in the film. It's 3 or 4 minutes long. No underpants, just hanging in the tree.
- No lion hat on Luna.
- Kreacher is featured and is a big jerk (lol). He's a sinister Dobby.
- Draco isn't in the film much, though he does well when he's there.
- Prefects are not appointed as in the book; the appointments are not mentioned.
- Aberforth is in the film for a quick second as is one of his goats.
- Flitwick is still the "new" Flitwick from movie four.
- No Phineas (though his line is in the Dumbledore escape scene)
- Ginny's patronus seems to be a phoenix; Luna's is a hare. (NOTE: The film people would never make this up; there's a 99% chance this is canon approved by Jo.)
- No Mundungus
- Black family tapestry is enormous
- Cho is the Snitch, but she was Veritaserumed into it. Though Harry gives her a very cold look.
- Cho does not get "sneak" on her face.
- Harry ignores Cho for the whole film after she is the sneak; the whole DA gets detention.
- Harry writes “I must not tell lies” on his hand, and it’s a “brutal scene. The entire D.A. is subjected to this later in the movie, except Cho.
- The worst memory scene is NOT a Pensive scene; it's Harry practicing Occlumency and getting into Snape's mind. Snape stops the lessons because of things.
- The statues don't protect Harry, he is just pinned to the wall.
- DD helps Harry being possessed by reminding him of the differences between him and Voldemort.
- No brain room or locked room, but the Prophecy Room and Veil Room are there; in the veil room, Harry, Luna, Neville (and perhaps Ginny) are drawn to it, and Ron and Hermione aren't.
- The Christmas at Grimmauld is there but brief.

I read this article just before I got on SS, thank you katiebell, I like your better than the one I read. Now on, I wish they had more Draco, he is kinda important. And I wish Cho was not the sneak, in the book it was her friend. And I really wish Fred and George had made the swamp, that was just great in the book. But all in all it it does sound good, I will see it of course, it's Harry Potter!

3-4 minutes? I guess I'm ok with that. I was afraid it would be like, 30 seconds! Not as humilating for Snape? Pity. | |

Since there's no St. Mungo....I guess no delerious Lockhart?
And Snape's Worst Memory isn't even like it was in the book...Wha?
And Ron's a MINOR?! He can't be a minor character...he's part of the Golden Trio...
I don't think I'll like this movie much...but I guess it's okay...and what adds to that list for me is: Dan's hair...
I agree. Sometihng says this movie may look good but it idnt going to be good. Cho/ WTF she didnt say anything she was all for it in the book. No ron and hermione kiss/ that sux. What about grwap

I am kind of disapointed because they left out a lot of major scenes that alot of people were ,looking forward to like Ron is Harry'd best friend so he cannot be a minor character thats just craziness. Like no quidditch that is basically the whole reason as to why fred and george leave coz they have nothing left for them at school, and mr weasley does get attacked but there is no st mungos how is he suppose to get treated? that just does not make any sense and the quibbler interview is like the whole basis of the story that makes umbridge hate harry even more, but i am still looking forward to it i hope it is better then the fourth one  | |

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I feared this so much! Arggg! They should be leading him up for his big roll in the 6th movie!!!!!!!! No Ron?? What?? He's like the best one of the trio! Cho: the snitch? I guess that's ok but I was not expecting it. No prefects? No quidditch? RoR discovered by Neville? Snape's Worst Memory should be exactly like in the book. Hum... I'm not sure whether I'll like this movie very much. I hope I do, don't get me wrong but there are a lot of changes that I don't like. But there are a lot of awesome stuff too, I suppose. | |

at least it stays true to the movie for the most part. it was getting annoying in the last two movies. but i can't wait till it comes out. wish the movie preview happened in DC. why does nothing ever happen in DC?

Even though it's SPOILER WARNING, it gives lots of facts.

Yea! Quote:

Awesome! Darn! Darn! Darn! Quote:

Aahh!

Oh! Quote:

Haha! Quote:

I love them!
[/QUOTE]- Harry writes “I must not tell lies” on his hand, and it’s a “brutal scene. The entire D.A. is subjected to this later in the movie, except Cho.[/QUOTE]
Everyone? Quote:
- The Christmas at Grimmauld is there but brief.
Well, it's there at least.
More from other site. Quote:
- Harry does have his "shouting and throwing" scene in Dumbledore's office.
Shouldn't but does giggle. Quote:
- Carlos says the film will be "less disappointing to fans" than others.
Good! Quote:
- Imelda is "just the right amount of cruel."
Hmmm, we'll see! Quote:
- Ron is minor in the movie.
What?! Quote:
- The movie moves quickly, but the scenes last as long as they are relevant.
Thats good! Quote:
- Natalia Tena as Tonks was "great and funny," and there was no real Tonks/Lupin interaction.
Yay For Natalie! Quote:
- Harry's kiss isn't actually funny; it's the description later that is.
Can't wait to hear that! Quote:
- The death is well acted and well shot
I'm gonna cry, no matter what. Quote:
- Ron and Hermione have roughly the same amount of screen time.
Really? Quote:
- The "I disagree with Dumbledore on many counts..." line is in the film and is a great crowd pleaser.
Cool. Quote:
- The Weasley antics are huge and bright, just like in the book
Quote:
- On Emma: "Emma is a consumate professional which is to say that she's picking up all the good acting habits from the fabulous talent and hundreds of years of combined experience from the actors on set. I wouldn't be surprised to see Emma break out and become a real movie star in the future. She's got the chops and you don't just develop that over time. Don't be surprised to see her at the Academy Awards some day. When she's done with the potter series, you'll be amazed at what she is capable of. I really mean this."
awesome! Quote:
- The DD/V fight "rocks the house"
Yeah!
. Quote:
- Harry acts as a leader, with Ron and Hermione more like sidekicks than in other films.
Sidekicks? Quote:
- Harry and Hermione go with Umbridge to the forest, as in the book.
Can't wait for that! Quote:
- "The Weasleys are the script's whipping posts."
Yeah!
- Quote:
Hermione instead of Ginny introduces Luna. Ginny has very few lines, but does cast some spells, and is shown to be powerful.
Few Lines= Bad. Shown powerful=good Quote:
- It's a "Krum-free zone"
Thank you VERY much! Quote:
- Hermione doesn't challenge Umbridge in the same way as the book, but does challenge her.
Wants to see that!
. Quote:
- Gary Oldman's performance is subdued, as in PoA.
Arg! Quote:
- The ending is not cheery.
Not a good thing! Quote:
- The last line is about having "something worth fighting for," with the sextet going home for the summer.
Sounds awesome Quote:
- Right now the running time stands at two hours, thirty minutes.
Wow! Long but that's a good thing!
Sorry, I HAD to comment on lots of things!

I am at least happy that the twins get their triumphant exit, though I wish that they didn't make cho the snitch. I don't like that. But i still think I will like the film, no I will LOVE it.

Aw No Luna's lion hat, no Marietta, no Sneak, No Quidditch, No Ron and Hermione Prefects, No Quibbler article, no Lily sticking up for Snape, and no Howler. 
Other then that it seems like a pretty cool movie.
