Movie and Icon Request

I saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix last night. It was awesome. I felt it managed to transcend the book in some ways, but then OotP is my least favorite book of the series so far (wangst! more wangst! Oh look, those crazy wizard kids are emofighting again!). Not to say there is no teenage angst to be had in this movie. o.o Anyway, I highly recommend it, though the Potterheads out there don't need me to. :)

In other news, can anyone make me a properly face-of-evil icon of Delores Umbridge? I go mentally between wanting to claw her creepy smiling face off and running in terror. Whoever played her in the movie managed to capture my frightened loathing within seconds. Bravo.

I liked the movie overall, but one thing irritated me so much it was hard to focus on the good after movie was over: they severely truncated the most important scene in the series.

It was like trying to make three films out of the Last Herald-Mage series and truncating Vanyel chosen/Tylendel death scene. It just won't work.

we saw it on Saturday at Universal City Walk...I love it, and agree about the running in terror from DU...
