September 4, 200619 yr lol, i cant remember harry beat up malfoy either :rolleyes: and i really liked the 6th book, it was very intresting!!! Actually, most ppl agreed that the 5th sucked and the 6th was awsome.... oh well, there's an expression in hebrew that would sound weird in english so im not gonna translate it lol :P but it basicly means that everyone has his own taste in things and there's no point in argueing over it :P it there something like that in english too? :thinking: :thinking: Hmm...well there's a saying: "to each his own" and another one "he follows the beat of his own drum"- or someting like that. I didn't mean that the 6th book was complete crap, i found it a little boring. And it kind of had a cliffhanger ending and I don't like those...
September 4, 200619 yr yea... it is.. that's why it sounds so stupid what was the show with the guy that said "what u talkin about willis?" called? i forgot.... (lol, im very forgetful lately....) anyway, in hebrew it's called "over taste and smell"- like it's taken from the expression.... dunno why :thinking: The show you are talking about is called 'Diff'rent Strokes.' It's the show with Gary Coleman in it. Gosh, how the hell do I know that? :thinking:

July 8, 200719 yr *Thread turns into the official thread for the 5th film* So is anybody looking forward to it?
July 8, 200719 yr Me and my mate booked tickets for Friday night, having found a showing where the seats available weren't rubbish :laugh3: Main problem it starts at 21:00, so it won't be finished until at least 23:40.
July 9, 200719 yr I joined a mailing list (group) for Harry Potter fans here and we're going to have an event where members of the group will gather to see the movie together in one studio. The event is on 15th July and we got 370 members to participate. I'm so excited! Can't wait! :dance: But before that I will see it on the premiere night, of course. Yeah, I'm such a Harry Potter freak. :laugh3:
July 9, 200719 yr Reviews: The Order of the Phoenix The first reviews in the world's press of the latest Harry Potter film have appeared in the world's press, and it has generally been well received, deemed as the darkest movie in the series so far. British film maker David Yates directed it and it opens in many countries around the world later this week. Here is a selection of the comments which have been published so far. DAILY TELEGRAPH (UK) - Charles Frederick [Harry] is a bundle of adolescent anxieties: conflicted, often isolated and sometimes murderously angry. And that much-anticipated kiss with his fellow pupil Cho might put people off. It lingers just a bit too long and there is not enough chemistry. Yet the film is dark enough to engage adults, familiar enough to reassure us and fast-paced, as 766 pages are packed into two hours and 18 minutes. And who can watch Harry and friends flying in formation along the Thames and not dream of being able to join him? EMPIRE MAGAZINE (UK) - Helen O'Hara It won't win new fans, but as Potter movies go, this is the most filmic of the lot, suspenseful and action-packed... Strikes and duels whip past in a flurry of physical and mental blows, with combatants piling into the fray, and one juicy match-off the franchise equivalent of Yoda's light-sabre duel. Amid cackling baddies (especially Helena Bonham Carter's crazy-haired Bellatrix Lestrange) and heroes teetering on the brink, there's a moment of revelation. Potter isn't just for kids - this is a proper, grown-up adventure. And that bodes well for the films to come. TIME MAGAZINE (US) - Richard Corliss Precociously wise, Harry also seems prematurely tired, a wizened wizard at 15. And [Daniel] Radcliffe measures up to his character; his bold shadings reveal Harry as both a tortured adolescent and an epic hero ready to do battle. All of which makes Potter 5 not just a ripping yarn but a powerful, poignant coming-of-age story. HOLLYWOOD REPORTER (US) - Kirk Honeycutt This is a movie that feels like a reunion in a train station, in which even more characters get introduced and old friends revisited. [it makes] for a bewildering array of personages to keep track of even for those paying close attention. Then there is the fact that this book - and movie - is a watershed of backstory, revelations and plot clarifications before heading into the two remaining chapters. So while Phoenix is a necessary film, it's quite possibly the least enjoyable of the lot so far. SYDNEY MORNING HERALD (AUSTRALIA) - Garry Maddox From the first scene in a bleak playground, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the darkest movie so far in the hugely successful series. The young wizard has turned into an angry teenager, haunted by nightmares after confronting Lord Voldemort and seeing Cedric Diggory die in the previous instalment... [David] Yates makes sure there is plenty of humour - often centring on banter from Ron Weasley and his livewire brothers - and examples of magic at Hogwarts. But while this instalment is a must-see for fans, the sheer weight of plot might have less enthusiastic muggles checking their watches. ROLLING STONE (US) - Peter Travers All the actors excel, notably Gary Oldman as Sirius Black and Alan Rickman as Severus Snape. But it's the tale itself that hurtles the movie along. That momentum carries you over the film's few rough patches. Order of the Phoenix, the best of the series so far, has the laughs, the jitters and the juice to make even non-believers wild about Harry. THE TIMES (UK) - Leo Lewis The film, a necessary digest of the 800-page book, leaves us faintly annoyed that the true denouement of the cycle is now two movies distant. The chief problem, though, is not really a fault of the film but the near universal Potter-literacy of its prospective audience. Most Potter fans are now laser-focused on the release of the climactic seventh book... and its promise to bring together the countless loose ends. As the waiting for the final book grows unbearable, there are moments when this otherwise enjoyable film, though nicely-made and through no fault of its own, feels like a chore to be got through before the main course. NEW YORK MAGAZINE (US) - David Edelstein This is the best Harry Potter picture yet... In some ways, it improves on JK Rowling's novel, which is punishingly protracted and builds to a climactic wand-off better seen than read... This is not a family movie. It's not even a borderline gothic horror movie, in the manner of the third and fourth (scary) Potter instalments. Directed by David Yates, Order of the Phoenix is Orwellian. The palette is grainy and dank, the faces dour, the hero's alienation beginning to fester. Story from BBC NEWS: http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/1/hi/entertainment/6284222.stm
July 11, 200719 yr I've been waiting for the movie's release ever since the book came out. And that was in like 2004. And the movie did not disappoint at all. :nice: The end was very exciting/emotional. I like this new director!:dance: And he's going to do the 6th movie as well!
