How freggin awesome is this movie going to be. David Yates has really seemed to put his heart and soul into keeping this movie as real as possible. Sure there's no quiddich/Weasly is our king or Dobby, but what is going to be in there is going to look absolutely breathtaking. I can't wait another 200+ days!

I know! It looks awesome! I'm particularly impressed with Sirius - he's really sexy! He was sexy before, but now! cool.gif I can't wait to see him in this one. And inevitably, every time I think of him, I get a little sad. I am going to cry my eyes out, I know it.

Luna is the one who has surprised me the most - and a very pleasant surprise it was too! She looks and sounds perfect. She has a definite air of unconventional wisdom about her - as Luna and in real life - which is great. Umbridge looks like she's going to be a lot of fun too. I just love Imelda Staunton.

Helena Bonham Carter looks great, of course. That snippet of the fight between her and Sirius looks brilliant! (... eeek.gif ... ) But anyway, I am so glad they've cast her!

Harry Potter has done a lot for British actors, hasn't it? I mean, these people were all well known already, but they weren't household names except mostly in Britain and in the homes of movie buffs. But it's wonderful that we get to see all these absolute legends in one film.They are exceptionally talented, and they really add a lot to the credibility of the films. The kids are great, but it's the older cast that keeps me coming back.

I can't wait for some snippets of footage of the fight between Voldemort and Dumbledore. But I hope they don't show us too much of it before the film. That is going to be a kicking scene, if the rest of the fighting is anything to go by. I'm so excited!

AARRRRGGGHHHH!!!! OMG!!!! I am *so* beyond stoked!!! woot.gif

OMG, Sirius is stunning!!! That duel looks awesome!! Oh wow, I'm booking July 13th off work right now because I think I'm going to be absolutely unbearable to be around when that film comes out!! It looks absolutely brilliant!! Might very well supercede CoS as my fav film!! OotP was always my favourite book anyway, and this film is just...wow!!

I do have to say one tiny little thing that is irking me slightly though, and that's Bella... I love Helena's look, and she is exactly who I wanted to play the part, but I don't know... There was something almost cartoon-ey villain about her, if you know what I mean. I was hoping for a little more GoF-ish edge...mean and nasty, cruel and cold...not Caeser Romero as Joker kind of evil, you know? I guess it's kind of hard to tell from rough cuts like that, so I'll reserve my judgement... But my eyes will be on the absolutely delicious Gary Oldman in that scene anyway, so...tongue.gif Oh what I wouldn't give....*sigh*

Oh, BTW, for those who are looking for the clips.....

The Duel

Sirius

The Order

PS -Hey, is it me, or is there no Lupin to be seen?! Where's David?!!! sad.gif

LMAO!!! I thought of you when my eyes popped out because of Sirius, Louise! tongue.gif He is unbelievably sexy! I've been watching that Sirius clip shamelessly over and over and drooling and being hopelessly fangirly.

I'm rather ashamed of how excited I am about the film - I normally don't like the films. tongue.gif I'm a proud book fan, but my brother and I have already pledged to go to the midnight screening, and my computer wallpaper is the bottom part of the poster that says 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, 07/13/07'. I never thought I'd reach that point, and it's mostly thanks to a growing Alan obsession and Gary Oldman.

I wondered about David too. It would be really stupid if he didn't feature (and it certainly looks like that's the case), but I'm hoping they just haven't got around to showing his clips. Maybe they're afraid that if he featured too much it would confuse the audience about Harry's relationship with Sirius? I can understand that because this is Sirius's big film, but I want to see David! tongue.gif

I know what you're saying about Helena though. I hope it's just the limited footage, because it would be very sad if she made too much of a caricature of Bellatrix. Not that she isn't one, but there's a real sense of danger about Bella that I hope comes across.

The fight though! It looks terrific! My brother used to say that he hoped they make the wand duels look like sword fights, because that's the role they fulfill in the wizarding world, and it looks like they've done that! happy.gif It's an art, a skill - you know, something you can be good at, and it looks like they're doing it justice.

Hehe, I'm dying to see the film, and they haven't even started showing clips of Snape's Worst Memory - I can't wait for those!

I'm exicited as well, I have a feeling this will be my favorite film thus far, even though I'm not a giant fan of this book. CAPSLOCK! Harry gets on my nerves a little to much. And I'm also hopeful they'll find some sort of compensation for Ron since there's no "king."
I love that Hermione takes him down after Ron tells her, with sincerity, that he'll hold back.
I love the way Helena looks, the crazy hair and the super pale skin, she looks really kind of insane. I like her as a villian, other than Draco, I think she's the most interesting. I, like the rest of you, hope she doesn't become to cartoonish, because she's powerful and evil.
I like that the wand fight between Sirius and Bella looks like a sword fight, and I'm again, exicited.

Well, I can only add to the general excitement about the clips! I am *so* looking forward to this one! I cannot wait for this onhe to come out... Perhaps I should follw's Louise's lead and book off that day right now and put a reminder in my Outlook so I don't forget? Somehow I doubt I'd forget... Perhaps I'll just be Old School and go with the "Giant Red X on a wall calendar" instead...

I was pleasantly surprised with how the characters come across in the clips. Sirius is bang on, of course. How could this be otherwise with Gary Oldman playing him? The Trio has grown looks as good as ever. Bellatrix, I'll admit, does seem a little manic and crazed, but that could simply be her "mad with power" side coming out. Have to wait and see, as I don't think Helena would play her that psychotic all the way through. It might be that she was putting on her "berzerker" look in those duel clips?

The sets look amazing, as well! The clip of the Weasleys at Christmas looks exactly, and I mean exactly as I had pictured it in my mind's eye. It was almost deja vu when I saw it this morning!! Luna does look spot on, too.

I was also wondering about Lupin. Wonder where he's gone to in the clips? Even those of the Order didn't really show him... I tried to loo closely just now and I can see Peter, Sirius, Dumbledore, James, (I think) Severus... I also saw Mad-Eye, Tonks, but no Lupin... Strange...

Any road, I'm certainly looking forward to more of these little clips!!
