October 11, 2006 - Word comes today, via the latest edition of the official Harry Potter email newsletter, that the preview for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will hit theaters on Friday, November 17th, exclusively attached to the CG-animated Warner Bros. comedy, Happy Feet.http://movies.ign.com/articles/738/738377p1.html
Potter devotees will have to wait until July 13, 2007 to see Phoenix on the big screen in its entirety.
The fifth installment in the boy-wizard series follows Harry as he returns to Hogwarts and learns that much of the wizarding community is in denial about his recent encounter with Voldemort. Fearing that Hogwarts' Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, is lying about Voldemort's return in order to undermine his power and take his job, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, appoints a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher to keep watch over Dumbledore and the Hogwarts students. But Professor Dolores Umbridge's Ministry-approved course of defensive magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the dark forces threatening them and the entire wizarding community, so at the prompting of his friends Hermione and Ron, Harry takes matters into his own hands. Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name themselves "Dumbledore's Army," Harry teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts, preparing them for the battle that lies ahead.
Order of Phoenix will be a godawful movie if they keep adapting the books like they have.
They should just rename Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE.Agreed.

Yeah, it's not really a book that I see translating to film very well. The books have been getting worse and worse, as well. That hack writer has finally outhacked herself.
Goblet of Fire stood the best chance of being the best overall film of all the books, especially since it had an actual villain. Instead of making it a great film, they used the ADAPT-A-POTTER-BOOK formula from the previous films and made an absolutely boring movie.
I like fantasty books so what. LOTR, Narnia, Harry Potter, whatever. They make me feel like a kid again, under the sheets reading an epic story about magical worlds, brave heroes, and terrible villians

Oh please, be real. You know you touch yourself at night. Who has time to read? :P

Wow, you just keep striking out.
With The Dark Knight, there is no worry. That's going to kick as much (if not more) ass than Spidey
What kind of sane adult watches fuckin' Harry Potter?
Emo music actually means something. Harry Potter doesn't. End of story. Go cry or something, but I'm right, you're wrong. Period.What kind of sane adult watches fuckin' Harry Potter?
Don't you listen to emo music? Go cut yourself
Lots of adults like Harry Potter. It's not really a children's book, and the movies are getting pretty dark. Watch Prisoner of Azkaban and get back with me
How aboutNo one asked you to come to this board after opa-ages went poof. kthx

The sixth book is an amazing piece of fantasy for the series. After five books, Rowling finally decides to detail Voldermort. We learn about his childhood, and the events that made him the evil man he is. Like OOTP, HBP introduces many side stories too. But perhaps the most interesting parts of the book are Harry's adventures with Dumbledore. The book is perfectly constucted, and when all the pieces come together the picture is quite easy to see. The Hocruxes bring a whole different point to the books. After reading HBP, little details from the previous books become huge clues (IE the locket...). And while everyone is aware of the big spoiler of the book, few understand the actual meaning of it. The "Snape kills Dumbledore" quips cloud the issue, which is much bigger. Is Snape really a bad guy, or is he still a double agent (as the book clearly suggests imo)? Who is RAB? Is he Sirius' brother (as the books suggest)? Will Harry return to Hogwarts (yes imo)? And what will happen to Malfoy?So having no story and all cliches is good? This is honestly the worst book I have chosen to read and I was just about to give up in the last 100 pages. Read Wicked (prequel to Wizard of Oz) or A Wizard of Earthse to see what good real fantasy is supposed to be like. Artemis Fowl is also much better, in fact I can't think of any major fantasy story that is worse then Harry Potter. It's pure wannabe writing that is impossible to enjoy without a few grams of Ritalin.
No story? Are you crazy? It details the evolution of Voldermort and slowly builds up to a giant attack on Hogwarts. How is that not story?See that's what I call not having a story or a morsel of respect for your reader. NONE. Pure shit on paper. I'm going to burn that book actually because it's so much pure shit.
The sidestories are also good. Harry Potter bagging Ron's sister had me cracking up and sighing like I was on the Oprah show
HP has a deep story but most people gave up after the initial craze of SS & COS. The book took a DRASTIC turn after those simple mystery stories of book 1 and 2.
:lol
You're such a nerd, PhoenixDark.
OotP was disappointing as hellWTF? :(
I'm only 20 and I got the first book when it first came out. I did not feel like a little kid. :lol
And no one asked for you to come here either. kay tee aetch exHow aboutNo one asked you to come to this board after opa-ages went poof. kthx

No matter what any delusional fanboy says, HP is most definitely a by-the-numbers, cliche ridden book. Honestly, how many times do we need the standard "mysterious beings attack Hogwarts, everyone blames Harry, he turns emo, emo, emo, Voldemort, Dumbledore being mysterious, ooooh Snape, emo emo" crap? The only reason I was able to stomach Book Six was because it didn't fall into that tired mold.*yawn*
PD, go read some real fantasy -- COMICS MOTHERFUCKER. :punch

While it is my least favorite of the modern books it had my favorite moment in the entire series. The Wesley Twins departure. That whole mess was fantastic. If the movie ruins that or cuts it I will be so pissed off.QFT
