Harry potter and the disenchanted fans - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Reviews

I remember back when the countdown for this movie was over 400 days away, and how anxious I was to see my favorite book in the series come to life on film. I'm not naive..I mean, I knew they would nip bits and pieces out of the book to translate it to another medium, but c'mon!!!! Where the heck was the emotion in this film? For that matter, another review brought up an even better question..where was the order of the pheonix!? The greatest dissapointment in this film was that the viewer did not get to truly understand, or feeel for that matter, the emotional angst going on within Harry's mind and spirit as the reader of the book would. Oh, and once again the viewer was ROBBED of an emotionally charged end-confrontation between Harry and Dumbledore in the latter's office. That was when Harry and his mentor finally reached a peak in their relationship, with revelations being made and such.. but nope...not in this movie. I read book 5, and love it perhaps more than any of the others, purely because of its emotional depth and the growth of the characters. On screen, OOTP was dreadful, plain and simple. I left the theater shaking my head and saddened. Honestly, after movie #3, I thought they could do no further harm to the novels... I was wrong.
