So I went to see the new Harry Potter flick this evening. I have never read the books, so I didn't even join the crowds queuing to get the last Harry Potter book at midnight.

To be honest I wasn't that impressed with this new film. It didn't seem to capture the spirit of the earlier films. Although I liked the Prisoner of Azkaban a lot because it was a much darker film.

This one almost sent me to sleep. I could feel my eyelids closing many times - in between almost fitting with all the flash/strobe lighting for a big chunk of the film.

Apparently the book for Order of the Phoenix is the largest of the Harry Potter books in terms of pages and is quite slow paced. In that respect, the film followed the book accurately then.
