So today Order of the Phoenix was finally released here. Just got back, so here are my first reactions.
( Random thoughts behind the cut - long and contains movie spoilers )
I'll be getting the DVD of course, if only for getting a closer look at the Snape's worst memory scene, and I don't exactly regret seeing it on big screen - there was plenty of eye candy, and lots of good performances, etc... I wish it had been done a bit better though. Less checking off random points on the list of "this was in the book, we should include it" and more tones of grey would have been nice. I wonder if there are deleted scenes and if so, what they are... maybe some things would have been explained a bit better in a longer version, but I am not really sure.
