This month is all about Harry Potter, isn’t it? Sorry for the late write-up. I suppose all is said, has been said. So I will dedicate this blog posting about three characters.
Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) – He has grown up to be a fine young chap, and as the series move forward, the maturity and character development that he portrays is indeed charming and respectable. At certain times, I would like to place his emotional depth at the same league as Anakin Skywalker and Peter Parker, but decided to wait to the final two to place my judgment. His first kissing scene as somewhat awkward, and not very sweet unfortunately. Better things will come.
Luna Lovegood (Evanna Lynch) – Move aside Hermione (SORRY!). Luna has replaced you to be my favourite character from Harry Potter. Somewhat quirky, somewhat loony, somewhat honest, somewhat dreamy, Luna may not be an instant likeable character, but she adds a breath of freshness to the dark piece. Rowling has often said that Luna is the "anti-Hermion”.
Dolores Jane Umbridge (Imelda Staunton) – In her fluttery voice, girlish pink outfit, and repulsive laughter “hem hem”, she is someone everybody hates to love, and loves to hate. This installment is not about Voldemort, or Bellatrix, or Snape, McGonagall or even Dumbledore, it’s all about her sinister smile. She stole this show hands down. Shall look forward to more of her.
Though most would say The Order of Phoenix lacks action and fantasy and is all talk, it is a necessary transition movie for better things to come.
