A Series of Thoughts on "Order of the Phoenix"

Yes, I finally got around to going to see it.  I'd been waiting for my sister to get back into the country, and she came home last night, so off we went as soon as I got off work.

I thought it was quite good, actually.  I did have a few complaints/suggestions/rants, though, as well as some notes of commendation.

1.  It was too short.  Now, having the longest attention span in the world, I often say that after movies.  But in this case, it was particularly true.  OotP is the longest book, yet it has the shortest movie?  That doesn't make sense.  I did think they did a good job of editing, though--they didn't cut out anything completely necessary; they cut out the right bits.  Except...

( I guess the rest can be considered spoilers... )

So, yeah.  These are my ridiculously long-winded thoughts.  If I'm thinking this hard about one of the films, imagine what my mind's going to be doing on Saturday!
