If you are not a Harry Potter fan than you can probably skip this post. I know that HP books and movies are controversial in the Christian and Homeschool communities but please don't make this a debate.
We have a strict rule in our house about the HP movies; you must read the book before you can see the movie. So I took 3 out of 7 kiddos to see the midnight showing of The Order of The Phoenix last night. This is the first time I have ever done this, probably the last. We arrived to pick up our pre-purchased tickets at 10:45 p.m. and we were close to the end of the line to get into the theater! Who knew. It was fun to see several people dressed in Hogwarts costumes and such - some people are so creative.
The movie was good but once again they fail to capture the book. I suppose it would have been a 6 hour movie if they had. The kids liked it and I believe it was better than Goblet of Fire.
We are waiting for the arrival of book 7 this month with baited breath. |
