At the movies with Thing One: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
by Thing One
Editor’s note: This year’s Very Cool Patent Lawyer Client Appreciation Event was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Thing Two did not attend but enjoyed playing with the goodie bag contents afterwards. Goodie bags included glasses, leftover Triwizard Tournament decals (We scored Hogwarts and Beauxbatons but couldn’t find a Durmstrang one), and light-up wands. Accio Milk Duds!
Last Saturday I saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. We got free goodies, including a triwizard card, Harry Potter glasses, a wand, and 2 books, 2 about the history of broomsticks, and Harry and Ron’s book on magical creatures, which Ron and Harry wrote in. where it showed the classifications of animals. Ron or Harry wrote next to the most dangerous types of the animal “or anything Hagrid likes”.
In the movie, Harry saw Sirius Black’s house. When Harry, Fred, George, Hermione and Ron were listening to an Order of the Phoenix conversation, Hermione’s cat grabbed the extendable ear and played with it. I also liked when Professor Umbridge (Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher) interviewed Snape and asked “So you were unsuccessful getting the job of defense against the dark arts?” and Snape said “Obviously!” and she said stuff cutely and her room had cute kitten pictures.I also liked when the Weasely twins barged in the great hall and set off fireworks shaped liked dragons and shattered all the rule posters.
I think the movie would be scary in some parts for younger children, in the end, especially.
