Phoenix Rising

Last night I saw the new Harry Potter movie, The Order of the Phoenix, and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I really hated the last one, Goblet of Fire, so I wasn't sure how this one would turn out. I have already written a full review for my Toon Talk column, which should be posted later today and I'll link to it from here.

I will say this, I loved the new character, Luna Lovegood (where does J.K. Rowling come up with these names?), played by Evanna Lynch in her film debut. Luna is very loopy and kinda spacey, but she sure holds her own with a wand. Keep an eye on her, she's a lot of fun in the movie.
