That's a great idea, tinydancer! I have my two-year pocket calendar that I carry in my purse - I'll put it there! (How sad that it'll be my FIRST entry for 2007?!?! )

From the official Harry Potter movie site...

Joining the stellar cast are Imelda Staunton (Nanny McPhee, Vera Drake) as Dolores Umbridge, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher; George Harris (The Interpreter, Black Hawk Down) as Kingsley Shacklebolt; Helen McCrory (Casanova, Enduring Love) as Bellatrix Lestrange; Natalia Tena (Mrs. Henderson Presents, About a Boy) as Nymphadora Tonks; Kathryn Hunter (All or Nothing, Orlando) as Mrs. Figg; and 14 year-old newcomer Evanna Lynch, who beat over 15,000 hopefuls at an open casting call to win the role of Luna Lovegood, a Ravenclaw student who becomes an important ally of Harry, Ron and Hermione's.

Wasn't there a change in the actress playing Bella? Awhile back I read that Helena Bonham Carter was replacing Helen McCrory because Ms. McCrory pregnancy prevented her from contiuning filming.

I didnt care for it nearly as much as the previous 4, it seemed to jump around way to much and leave out things entirely. The wrong people were doing things as the book depicted and it just seemed like David Yates didnt really know what was going on. There were no smooth transitions and though the dialog did have times where it was word for word from the book it just seemed to lack the luster the other films had. I did enjoy the very end of the movie with the big fight scene inside the Ministry of Magic, but other than that I found myself wondering whether or not I had wasted my time to even go and see this movie.

It just seemed like Yates didnt know what to do with Order of the Phoenix, he took an 800+ page book and turned it into the shortest movie yet, I mean it is acceptable for a 'good' movie to last close to 3 hours, so what was wrong with this movie lasting a little longer than 138 minutes? It just seems like with the extra time more effort could have at least gone into smoother transitions from scenes and actual ideas from the book. I sincerely hope that they search for a new Director for Half Blood Prince, there was too much vital information in Order of the Phoenix that just shouldnt have been left out, and if Yates is left in charge of the next movie, then it is likely it wont be as captivating as it should be either.

Another thing that slightly bothered me was no Quidditch, I mean we are talking about one of Harry's comforts, and that wasnt even offered in this movie. It just seems like a shame to me that this movie didnt turn out better.

Oh and Helena Bonham Carter was magnificent in her role as Bellatrix LaStrange

That is my biggest peeve with it: there was no Quidditch, hence no subplot with Ron. What happened to the Percy thing?! I was looking forward to that angle. I felt like a lot of the little things were left out.

But ITA that the fight scene at the end made up for it.
