harry potter

ok, so......we went to see harry potter V after lunch......and i was not disappointed.....the director did a credible job of distilling down an 800 page book into a 2 hour movie.....without losing much of the essential plot points......i could see it again, i suppose...or just wait until the dvd comes out at christmas and watch it over and over.....dolores umbridge as played by imelda staunton was over-the-top...in her pink chanel boucle and her sweater sets....her office, done in scores of moving/purring cat plates set against pink walls....even the sugar she stirred on her tea was pink......and her smile was quite saccharine...for one so very very evil.....and luna lovegood was also cast well....by a pale-haired actress who really did seem to be as offbeat as luna is supposed to be.......the usual suspects are growing up quickly before our eyes....and each and everyone remind us just how well-cast they were in harry potter I......2 more films before it all ends.......and the last book out saturday........
