So has anyone else seen it yet? I was really disappointed. I felt that the first 4 movies did a really good job at staying true to the books while keeping it a manageable length for a movie. This one just got me angry from the first scene. I understand that they have to cut things, but they changed all sorts of things that I don't think they should have changed. The whole thing felt kind of disjointed and rushed.
Ironically, Order of the Phoenix was my least favorite book, so I don't know why I feel so loyal to it. Probably because I just re-read it (and book 6) in anticipation of the movie and Book 7, so everything is fresh in my mind.
My youngest DsD saw it three times this weekend! She saw it Friday night with her mom, Saturday with DH and other DsD. I was disappointed that they went when I was working so she said she'd go again with me tonight. She loved it! I tried to keep my disappointment to myself.
Oh well - just 7 more days until the real highlight of the summer - and then the low point when I've finished reading and it sinks in that it's all over!
