Alright, so I just returned home from seeing the midnight showing of Harry Potter 5. For loyal fans - the ones that actually read the books - you should thoroughly enjoy the movie. Even those folks that just check out the films but don't read the books you should enjoy the film as well.

Despite leaving out large chunks of the film - I understand the book was HUGE - but some great things were overlooked. The battle in the Department of Mysteries could have been extended. The Weasley Boys also made a swamp - not a firework show. But, in all it was great.

The surprise highlight of the film though is LUNA LOVEGOOD. She's great. Perfectly cast. Evanna Lynch is superb! When she was just 14, Lynch beat out 15,000 other girls at the open audition in London.

I give it three thumbs up!

In the "darkest book yet" J.K. Rowling recently confirmed that in the next book a major character will be the victim of date rape. Rumors abound on who OR what will the culprit. Check it out and come up with your own theory....
