Movie Review: Harry Potter and the WRONG Order of the Phoenix

I have just finished viewing the Order of the Phoenix like 2 hours ago and I cant wait to blog the things down!!! As the title said it all, the movie has some scenes that mixed up the order and even have alot of missing scenes!!! *SCREAMS*

WRONG Order / Scenes:
- I thought the attack by the dementors were in night time
- Vernon didn't left the house after Dudley was carried home due to Dudley not feeling comfortable. I thought it should be due to the Best Lawn Competition (Scam)
- The dudes from the Order of Phoenix flew very low while travelling to Grimmauld Place
- The dream Harry got at Grimmauld Place travelled too far into the Department of Mysteries
- Harry saw Lucius Malfoy BEFORE the hearing, should be AFTER
- Divulging the secret of DA is by Cho Chang's friend, not Cho Chang
- The number of Educational Decrees increased to 90++
- No interruption of OWLs due to Fred & George
- The other side of the Veil below the arch is supposed to be pitch black

MISSING Order / Scenes:
- Did not show how angry Harry was for losing touch with his friends while at the Dusleys
- Did not receive the 2nd letter from the Ministry of Magic and from Dumblydore
- Vernon didn't show how irritated he was with the owls
- Did not show how Tonks helped Harry to pack his luggage
- Did not show the luggage being attached to the broomstick while flying to Grimmauld Place
- No badge for visitors into the Ministry of Magic
- No staying in Mr. Weasley's office before realising the changed timing of the hearing
- No showing of Quidditch
- No showing of Umbridge confiscating Harry's Firebolt
- No showing of Hermione casting a charm on the namelist of DA members
- No showing of visiting of Mr. Weasley at St. Mungo and coincidental meeting of Longbottom
- No showing of the swarm caused by Fred & George
- No showing of Flitwick not helping Umbridge to clear the swarm
- No showing of Minerva McGonagall being attacked by the Inquisitorial Team outside Hagrid's
- No showing of the DA members trying out different doors before reaching the room with the prophecy
- No showing of the golden statues in the Ministry of Magic helping Dumbledore out

Of course there are still some more but my tired brains only allow me to rememeber until here.

Generally, I feel that it is a movie for people who have read the book because for those who didnt, it will be very difficult for them to know who is who and how all these happened. Changes in scenes may also be confusing for some. Many parts whereby David Yates can emphasise on even more and not employ a touch-and-go method. If you love Harry Potter that much that you must see the movie, like me, ask a Harry know-how to go together.

The thing about movies is that although most people has already expected in cuts in the storyline, at least make up for the lost with excellent graphics which I find room for improvement in this movie. Emotions provking parts such as Harry Cho Chang kissing scene, Occlumency lessons with Snape and the fight between Dumbledore and Voldemort *shudders* can be more well done, at least with more thrill and build up.

But people always says love is blind, thats why people will still go for the movie no matter how lousy the reviews are. I am not saying its not nice, but just lost focus during the movie. You know, that inelastic demand thing. HAHA!
