I think I blasted through that one the fastest even though it was the longest. I loved, as you said, how serious everything became. The showdown at the ministry of magic was one of my favorite parts of the entire series.<br /><br />I'm so apprehensive about seeing the last one. A new Harry Potter just seems like routine. I can't believe that everything has come to a close.Nick Sawatskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04130962383291895870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082987302867144074.post-13574460977015795862011-07-16T15:08:31.056-07:002011-07-16T15:08:31.056-07:00**BIG not bug...hahaha**BIG not bug...hahahajillybeannnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15326551510827795546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082987302867144074.post-8715256998024538912011-07-16T15:07:01.279-07:002011-07-16T15:07:01.279-07:00I love the Order of the Phoenix as a book, but I k...I love the Order of the Phoenix as a book, but I know what you mean about the angst. What I love about it is the fact that Harry realizes what he really is in for. In the four books before that there is a pattern of problems where we eventually learn it has to do with You-Know-Who and blah blah blah and then Harry faces him, wins, ends up in the hospital wing and there is a happy ending to the school year.<br />But, finally, the Order of the Phoenix really breaks that when we find out that there is a connection between Harry and Voldemort and that there is much more going on. We get the prophecy and learn that "neither can live while the other survives" and that something really bug is going to go down. I just love that. And I love and hate the scene where Sirius dies. It's tragic but beautiful at the same time. <br /><br />My favorite movie was this last one though, but I won't say too much because you're waiting to see it :)jillybeannnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15326551510827795546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082987302867144074.post-1801321671379092072011-07-16T12:38:30.039-07:002011-07-16T12:38:30.039-07:00My plan is to not watch them again for at least te...My plan is to not watch them again for at least ten years. By then a layer of mist will have settled over my recollection and revisiting the series will reek of nostalgia, which is magical within itself.<br /><br />As for the books, I am constantly reading new material and very rarely re-read anything, but I see myself making an exception some time in the future.Nick Sawatskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04130962383291895870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082987302867144074.post-66867886057712110082011-07-15T17:29:30.135-07:002011-07-15T17:29:30.135-07:00Harry Potter (the books) have changed my life.

I love the movies for sheer entertainment, and I think I'll be lost without knowing there's always a new one to look forward to :/Melissa (i swim for oceans)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06840790603713851746noreply@blogger.com
