Life gets in the way

Ok, so like I haven't posted anything to my blog in six months. And, I've hardly gone to see any movies. Actually, I did see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix a couple of times. Like Goblet of Fire, I liked the move better than the book. Although I think HPatOotP didn't have to be the shortest of all the movies so far. The music was good, especially the theme for Professor Umbridge -- played wonderfully well by Imelda Staunton. I'm not sure I like what they did to poor Cho Chang, making her the betrayer, but Professor Snape did make it clear that she was under the influence of veritaserum. Evanna Lynch did a good job as Luna Lovegood. Has anyone noticed that Neville has taken on tasks that Dobby did in the books? In GoF he comes up with the gillyweed solution and in OotP he finds the Room of Requirement. There were also those lingering looks from Ginny (that girl has quite a reducto curse!). The DVD is supposed to be out on December 11th. I'll have to watch it again then.
