Order of the Phoenix

Peeking outside one of the Hogwarts Express trains (Scotland).
Another of the trains we rode which was used as the Hogwarts Express!

Just finished seeing the newest Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. VERY GOOD. My review is two thumbs up! It was very cool watching this film and knowing that I very recently stood inside some of the castles and rode in the trains used in the movie. It was all very exciting. The Scottish countryside is very evident in this film.
I was also equally impressed with newcomer Evanna Lynch who played the part of Luna Lovegood (A.K.A. "Loony Lovegood"), who befriends Harry in Year 5. Something else I noted this time: the scene in which Lucius Malfoy is attempting to talk Harry into giving up the prophecy was vaguely reminiscent of the serpent with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. I found that connection something to think about, as some predictions are that there will be an allegorical ending to the series.
Lots of twists and turns in this one and now I can't wait until the final installment in Deathly Hallows next week. Admittedly though, it will be quite sad when the saga is over. We've all grown so accustomed to hearing about Harry and his friends. But they still have to make movies 6 and 7, so that gives us something to look forward to for now!
