| | |  Early Order of the Phoenix Movie Preview!
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was previewed in Chicago this past weekend with a running time of 2 ½ hours.
*SPOILER WARNING*
Some of the main highlights are: Quote:
- The Dementors are more skeletal than in PoA
- The Dursleys are in the film for 10-15 mins, then Moody etc come to take Harry to Grimmauld.
- The twins do bust out of Hogwarts like in the book, but they don't cast the swamp spell. "It is one of the more memorable scenes in the movie. Incredible effects."
- Very little foreshadowing between Harry and Ginny - they share a look that book fans will recognize and appreciate.
- Dumbledore's escape was spectacular.
- The Black family tapestry is "lush and detailed" as Sirius explains it to Harry.
- The film centers on Harry and the DA on the whole.
- There aren't any "invented" scenes; it's all from the book.
- Dumbledore was "calm and inventive" during the Voldy battle, which was "great"; no curse whirled Herimone's way.
- On the cinematogrpaphy: "This film feels, cinematically, like a film from the 50's filmed in Cinema-Scope. A wide aspect ratio with tons of shots that have a lot of movement in them. The kind of thing that will be killed in P/S format on television. The scenes with the DA are all wide with few closeups so we can see everyone practicing. The walls are mirrored so it gives you the sense of a dance studio/martial arts training center. It makes for a great visual.
- Ron, Hermione, Luna and Neville are held by Death Eaters during the last battle.
- There is no St. Mungo's
- Sirius has a lot more screen time.
- The DA lessons "begin awkwardly," and are among the most memorable. One particular duel is going to "blow up the forums" (relating to shipping - as Emma Watson has said in the past that at one point she pins Ron against a wall, this is probably that duel).
- Mr. Weasley's attack is in the film.
- Bellatrix is "mean, no doubt, and lets Neville know he's #1 on her list." She doesn't interact with Harry much.
- No Quidditch, and no kiss from Hermione to Ron.
- The twins do sell their wares in the film.
- No Quibbler article, but Luna is reading it in the carriage pulled by the Thestral.
- Moody's broom is supposed to be fun/funny
- The Room of Requirement is discovered by Neville and explained by Hermione. No boggart. Ron never makes the film!Ron scared-face.
- Aunt Petunia's Howler is not in the film.
- The possession of Harry by Voldemort is in the film and supposedly very well acted.
- Lily does not stick up for Snape in the Worst Memory part.
- The "Snape's Worst Memory" scene is "much easier to bear" than in the books; it's not as humiliating in the film. It's 3 or 4 minutes long. No underpants, just hanging in the tree.
- No lion hat on Luna.
- Kreacher is featured and is a big jerk (lol). He's a sinister Dobby.
- Draco isn't in the film much, though he does well when he's there.
- Prefects are not appointed as in the book; the appointments are not mentioned.
- Aberforth is in the film for a quick second as is one of his goats.
- Flitwick is still the "new" Flitwick from movie four.
- No Phineas (though his line is in the Dumbledore escape scene)
- Ginny's patronus seems to be a phoenix; Luna's is a hare. (NOTE: The film people would never make this up; there's a 99% chance this is canon approved by Jo.)
- No Mundungus
- Black family tapestry is enormous
- Cho is the Snitch, but she was Veritaserumed into it. Though Harry gives her a very cold look.
- Cho does not get "sneak" on her face.
- Harry ignores Cho for the whole film after she is the sneak; the whole DA gets detention.
- Harry writes “I must not tell lies” on his hand, and it’s a “brutal scene. The entire D.A. is subjected to this later in the movie, except Cho.
- The worst memory scene is NOT a Pensive scene; it's Harry practicing Occlumency and getting into Snape's mind. Snape stops the lessons because of things.
- The statues don't protect Harry, he is just pinned to the wall.
- DD helps Harry being possessed by reminding him of the differences between him and Voldemort.
- No brain room or locked room, but the Prophecy Room and Veil Room are there; in the veil room, Harry, Luna, Neville (and perhaps Ginny) are drawn to it, and Ron and Hermione aren't.
- The Christmas at Grimmauld is there but brief.

Aww, I was looking forward to seeing Luna's lion hat! And no St. Mungo's, that's a real bummer - but I suppose considering the how long the book is, it sounds like they've done quite well with fitting everything in.
I'm getting more excited about OotP than any of the other movies, and the more I hear, the more I can't wait

YAY! I actually like how it sounds and it fits together very well! Kreacher! Glad to see a house elf again even if he is a mean Gollum wannabe.

No Quidditch?  Oh well, you can't have it all ><
It does sound amazing though I can't wait to watch it! *squeals*

No brain room? NO! I was looking forward to Rupert doing that...oh well, it means my dear Ronnikins isn't attacked by evil brain thoughts... It all sounds excellent! A few minor (okay, MAJOR) changes to different aspects of the plot, but overall it's sounding mighty fine to me! I'm even more eager to see it now...I like the idea of Harry ignoring Cho for the rest of the film and sharing a "look" with Ginny...*squee* And Hermione and Ron in the DA...pinning him against the wall? I can imagine it now...*goes into shipping fangirl mode* EDIT: Quote:
Ron is minor in the movie
Say WHAT? completely unfair...

That's not fair. Ron is a MAJOR character! He can't be a minor in this movie!! And ooooh...there are going to be a lot of things that I'm going to be complaining about after I see this movie.
I can't believe this. The things that I read that ARE in the book and movie, I'm glad they're in it. But no brain room?! That sucks!!
And Cho isn't the Snitch in the book!! I think it's Marietta, Cho's friend. That's ridiculous. She can't be the snitch!! She just can't!!!

SQUEE!
Quote:
- The Dursleys are in the film for 10-15 mins, then Moody etc come to take Harry to Grimmauld.
Wha –? O_______o
Too long, me thinks.
Quote:
- Dumbledore's escape was spectacular.
Hehe. I was hoping it would be, but I’ll have to see for myself to be sure.
Quote:
- The Black family tapestry is "lush and detailed" as Sirius explains it to Harry.
OMG!  That scene. *sigh-my-Sirius-sigh*
Quote:
- The film centers on Harry and the DA on the whole.
Well, the book seems to centre more on an angst, moody and harshly-treated Harry and the Prophecy.  And my Sirius. =[
Quote:
- There aren't any "invented" scenes; it's all from the book.
Perfect. *appreciates*
Quote:
- Dumbledore was "calm and inventive" during the Voldy battle, which was "great”
That’s great. I was afraid we might see GoF’s hustle-y bustle-y Dumbledore again. *shudders*
Quote:
- There is no St. Mungo's
Oh well, that’s understandable. They probably had to fit the whole book in an hour or two movie, so yeah. =)
Quote:
- Sirius has a lot more screen time.
YAY! That’s by far one of the most awesome sneak peaks I’ve read about. XD
Quote:
- The DA lessons "begin awkwardly," and are among the most memorable. One particular duel is going to "blow up the forums" (relating to shipping - as Emma Watson has said in the past that at one point she pins Ron against a wall, this is probably that duel).
Tee hee. 
Quote:
- No Quidditch, and no kiss from Hermione to Ron.
What? No Quidditch?  That’s stupid. I mean, really, Quidditch plays quite an essential role in the books.
Quote:
- No Quibbler article, but Luna is reading it in the carriage pulled by the Thestral.
I can’t believe they cut out that article! I was looking forward to that scene. =[
Quote:
- Moody's broom is supposed to be fun/funny
*anticipates*
Quote:
- The Room of Requirement is discovered by Neville and explained by Hermione. No boggart. Ron never makes the film!Ron scared-face.
O.o
That is so not right. No Ron? And the RoR being discovered by – Neville Longbottom?
Umm .. yeah. :emr:
Quote:
- Lily does not stick up for Snape in the Worst Memory part.
No fair! But I guess it has to be that way, because many haven’t read the books and don’t really know the whole “story” behind James && Lily’s relationship.
Quote:
- The "Snape's Worst Memory" scene is "much easier to bear" than in the books; it's not as humiliating in the film. It's 3 or 4 minutes long. No underpants, just hanging in the tree.
Understandable.
Quote:
- No lion hat on Luna.
Aww, too bad. *really wants to see Luna in lion hat*
Quote:
- Kreacher is featured and is a big jerk (lol). He's a sinister Dobby.
Grrr, he always was, that one. 
Quote:
- Aberforth is in the film for a quick second as is one of his goats.
O_______________o
Quote:
- Ginny's patronus seems to be a phoenix; Luna's is a hare. (NOTE: The film people would never make this up; there's a 99% chance this is canon approved by Jo.)
Interesting. I hope Jo tells us whether it’s cannon or not, soon. =]
Quote:
- Cho is the Snitch, but she was Veritaserumed into it. Though Harry gives her a very cold look.
What? I don’t get that.
Quote:
- Cho does not get "sneak" on her face.
But she never did. Wasn’t it Marietta Edgecomb?
Quote:
- Harry ignores Cho for the whole film after she is the sneak; the whole DA gets detention.
When exactly was Cho the sneak?
Quote:
- Harry writes “I must not tell lies” on his hand, and it’s a “brutal scene. The entire D.A. is subjected to this later in the movie, except Cho.
Umm, I’m not sure I like this. =[
Quote:
- The worst memory scene is NOT a Pensive scene; it's Harry practicing Occlumency and getting into Snape's mind. Snape stops the lessons because of things.
Well, seems kind of wrong to me. Since when did Harry get good enough at Occlumency to stir up such a well-locked memory of Snape’s? *raises eyebrow*
Quote:
- DD helps Harry being possessed by reminding him of the differences between him and Voldemort.
Oh.
Wow, long post. But I just had to comment. The movie seems . . . okay, I guess.
*ish not too pleased*

No Mundungus?!
-What?
And there isn't a lot of Draco? No Quidditch? Alot of things are so different.
They're changing the way Alfonso did the dementors.
Cho? She never was the sneak...it was her friend. And that "I must not tell lies" thing...besides Harry...the whole D.A? Except Cho?
Since there's no St. Mungo....I guess no delerious Lockhart?
And Snape's Worst Memory isn't even like it was in the book...Wha?
And Ron's a MINOR?! He can't be a minor character...he's part of the Golden Trio...
I don't think I'll like this movie much...but I guess it's okay...and what adds to that list for me is: Dan's hair...
