Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Admittedly, I am not a Harry Potter fan - even then, I think someone ought to take this trend of fleecing children and their parents in the name of entertainment seriously!

While the previous movies at least had some novelty, some excitement, and some story in them to justify spending the money on the trip to the theatres, this latest offering is a complete disaster. The visuals, though interesting, are just repetitions of what we have been fed a lot of times before, and the story really, really disappoints - all through the movie, you wait for the showdown, the fight, the real stuff to begin - and the curtains come down, leaving you wondering whether the authors forgot to finish the book!

My take aways: Emma Watson, pretty as ever, and the moving photographs, pretty cute!
