This is not a review!!!
This time it's the order of phoenix that thrills us!
When compared to book:
The movie is awesome... Most of the events were covered... No quidditch though :(
The book, which is the bulkiest, was not satisfactory (for me)... The movie was not that boring...
My favourite scene in the book would be Peeves obeying fred and george's words... Awesome.. Unfortunately it was not in the film... Imelda Staunton, an oscar nominee, has done her job perfectly... The exact expressions and behaviour as said in the book...
Overall rating - 8/10
I liked it!!
When compared to other movies:
When compared to other movies, this movie is not that good... I will place it between "prisoner of azkaban" (which is my least favourite) and chamber of secrets.. fourth place out of five films...
The first thing i didn't like about the movie was the editing... i could have done the job better!!! There were some good ones though like "the fire (after sirius's visit through it) changing into snow"...
Second thing is the music... "Hair-raising" effects and BGM for, for.. for..
HOGWARTS???? Sporadic!
Overall rating 6/10
I didn't like it!
Worth a mention:
David yates, the director, ha done his job with no par... Some great scenes:
1. Dementor (even though i didn't watch it!!! I Went late for the movie :P)
2. The dream (The one which harry has...
3. Fred and George "cracking"
4. The fight at the ministry (ministry was shown to us for the first time.. It was simply magnificent)
5. The fight between You know who and you know who!
6. DA
It's definitely a must watch for those who read the book... It's a good movie for those who doesn't notice both the Patils (Padma is in Ravenclaw) in gryffindor common room (This is a secret that can be shared within sisters, eh?)

I was wondering How would "the friends" react for what happened to me at the ATM... The result is this post... (for those who dunno wat happened to me at the ATM please read the previous post)
Read it with the exact expressions in your mind for maximum "fidelity of communication" :P
Firt comes joey...
Joey: How could they do this to meeee!! He's mean...
Chandler:yeah that's sick... Why were you at the ATM anyway?? Getting invisible money???
Joey: Nah! I forgot my PIN number!!
(It's 53639 :D)
Next comes Phoebe..
Phoebe:That's not nice.. That's sick... That's, That's WEIRD...
Oh my god, I LIKE HIM!!!
Me: I was speaking for him and he scolds me!! This sucks!
Chandler:It totally sucks!!
ME:How could he.... How??
Chandler:I remember my teacher saying "SOUND DOESN'T TRAVEL THROUGH GLASS!!" and i believe that it's right!!
Now its your turn... try with the other three.. Gellars and Rachel...

My greatest antipathy
(A Post on friday the 13th)
Everybody in this world has their own aversions... Some people (Well most of them) don't like what they have... Some people dislike maths, some don't like Kamalhasan... But My dislike is towards certain kind of people...
It was nearly seven in the evening... I was on my motoscooter with my friend... We were going to a place where machine gives you your money... Tiny little drops of a liquid that brought life into existence were falling from heaven on my skin bringing the soothing chillness to my body which was tired after a long and very smooth basketball match... Good climate, good match... It was a good and consoling day...
My eyes were searching for it.. I couldn't find what i was looking for... After sometime the metal board finally fell on my retina... It was looking weird... there was two of them at either side of the road bearing the same word "PARKING"... I dunno where to park my DIO... A closer look at the board triggered my brain and I saw six words seperated by five commas below the "parking" sign.. JAN,MAR,MAY,JULY,AUG,OCT,DEC...
A sudden happiness... A voice inside me said "Hurray! You don't have to search for sign boards for parking henceforth.. You have to do it once and never again!! Yay"... With all the happiness I crossed the road and reached the ATM centre with a bunch of vociferous people...
The rain accrued and i can't feel the chillness anymore.. It was raining harder... After some minutes we went into the ATM centre... My friend was a bit slow.. I said "seekram... people are waiting outside". "Be ready to collect the money and the slip... We should leave as soon as we get the money... lot of them are waiting"... My friend, with a smile on his face, replied "ok ok... I will do it asap.. you dont bug me"... Suddenly there was a knock on the door. I was wondering why would a person knock on a door in an ATM centre.. He said something which i couldn't hear! Then he did a gesture which was processed by my brain as "come out soon".. I turned to my friend. He had collected the money and the slip.. I opened the door and the man said "Everybody is waiting here and you two are inside for ages!!"... I dunno what made him think such things.. We could have won the guinness record for "The fastest money transaction in an ATM"...
All my happiness was shattered... The tiny neurons in my brain which had the memories of a good day were destroyed... There was only one question "When people see two juvenile persons, Why do they always think that they are gallivanting or chaffering??" I was speaking for the people waiting outside and he thinks that i was clavering?? Did i do anything wrong?
