First Review of Order of the Phoenix, from Chicago Screening (Spoiler Alert)
The Leaky Cauldron ^ | 3/6/2007

Posted on 03/06/2007 5:56:17 AM PST by CholeraJoe

We have for you the first complete review and set of details from an early screening of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix that took place in Chicago. (There is also a review at Ain't It Cool News here.) A review is below, followed by a VERY long and VERY detailed set of answers to questions that our reviewer has been giving in the comments. They are very spoiler-heavy.

Another reader noted that the movie looked like it had about 70 percent of special effects finished, and called it by far her favorite HP film. Reader Carlos's review is below, and he's been answering questions in the comments (and we'll keep adding his answers to this massive list of details). He gives the movie 3.5 stars and notes it's currently about 2:30; highlights, he says, include Evanna Lynch's turn as Luna and Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix. (If you went to the screening and want to share, email us!)

Please be reminded that SPOILERS abound in this description (not too many, actually, but we warn you just in case)...if you don't mind that, continue reading... (and if you're on the text only site, better close the window now).

LOL!! It just runs dementors down!

That would make a good thread topic, "What's your Patronus?"

Is FR going extremely slow for anyone else?

It's the Libby live thread slowing it down.

Ooh, that would be fun. I had a great horse, I wonder if that would be it. Or maybe a lion because my family always calls me Leo (my name is Leah) the lion. Hmm.

"Who's your daddy?"

"nothing in the movie that's not in the book"

That is a relief! Lord of the Rings should have followed the same advice.

A baby's sex is determined by the father and Dumbledore had auburn hair before he went gray.

So, you think that Mrs. Weasley was stepping out on her dear husband, and doing so with the Headmaster of Hogwarts?

Wow, thanks for that mental picture! (Now, excuse me while I go poke out my mind's eye.)

If she isn't Arthur's child, she isn't a Weasley.

Do we know Mrs. Weasley's maiden name? I guess she could be related to Dumbledore, somehow.

I could settle for Dumbledore and either Mr. or Mrs. Weasley sharing a great-great-grandparent. It would make things interesting -- and it might even be something that the Weasleys might not even know.

Molly was a Prewett. Her brothers, Fabian and Gideon, both members of the original OOTP were murdered during Voldemort's first rise to power.

Molly was also a cousin of Sirius by marriage. Sirius' Dad, Orion had an older sister, Lucretia who was married to Ignatius Prewett, who must have been Molly's uncle.
