Harry Potter.

Today I am going to talk about Harry Potter And The Order Of The Pheonix the movie and Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows the book.

First of all, the movie.

Of course with the recent release of the book Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, Harry Potter 5 the movie wont be the biggest recent thing in the Harry Potter series. But I'm still going to talk about it.

I have seen 4 of the Harry Potter movies and to be completely honest, that was the worst of all! I haven't read the book, seeing as I was a young to understand the difficult words when it came out, but the movie turned me away from even doing it at all! Basically it was just Harry being attacked Dementers at the start, than everybody waiting for Voldemort, or "he who must not be named" and when he came they had a 5 minute fight, then Harry's godfather gets killed for no apparent reason. Of course there was the arrival of the new teacher that stopped them from learning combat, but that was kind of irrelevant, because they wouldn't be learning moves like stun and other things like that in their 5th year at Hogwarts anyway. The special effects however were fairly good. The cinema was alot less full then I would have imagined would be on the third day after its release. I would not reccomend it as a must-see movie.

I think most people out there have a very different opinion on the movie, so let me know what you think, whether you agree with me, or if you think I must have been sitting the wrong way in the cinema and watching the wall for 2 hours. Comment me!


There has been alot of questions about Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, but all of them have been answered in the book. Who dies? Does Harry live? What fate does Voldemort have? Will Hogwarts ever be at peace? In my understanding there are three ways to find out the answers to all of these questions. A, read the book. B, get a friend to tell you how it finishes. C, look it up on Google. I am currenting reading Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows and I am up to about page 75 or so. It's not that I am an incredibly slow reader, I just have been busy for the past couple of days and I have had holiday homework (it was SO boring). I plan on reading alot more during school time and in the afternoons. The book so far has been really good. I would tell you what has happened, but I dont want to spoil the surprise, although it's nothing exciting. Nobody has died yet, we'll just have to read on for now. And if you have read the book, don't comment me to tell me who dies. I already know, one of my friends told me. :P Just dont spoil it for everybody else.

I have to disagree with you about the movie, I definatly thought it was the best Harry Potter movie out so far.
If you look back and watch the first one it's crazily different.

So far my favourite book would be the Half Blood Prince, but I haven't had a chance to read the Deathly Hallows.

The last book, in my opinion, should always be the most exciting, because theres always something revealing going to happen at the end, and it just makes you want to find out even before it's released.

Anyways, great blog!

I havent seen Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix so i wont say anything about that.

Ive already finished the book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (i finished it on the Sunday after it was released) and am currently rereading the others. Ive skipped over 1,2 and 3 (found the books too boring and had seen movie during holidays) and have read number 4 and 5 books and reading half blood prince atm and still deciding which books better, but the whole series put together is great and i believe that the whole world who have read the series from beginning to end should give J.K. Rowling an enourmous around of applause.
