Nothing really seemed to happen in the latest book (except for the Big Action Setpiece near the end, of course). It seemed to lack the energy that the other books had. And it was repetitive... like Harry's trips to Dumbledore's office, and Dumbledore having to spell out the meaning of the pensieve images
every fucking time. Pissed me off.
But that said the fourth book was rather good. Probably my second favourite (behind Azkaban).
I hate the movies to death though. There are only three reasons I'm planning on going to this latest one. In order of importance:
-Brendan Gleeson as Mad Eye Moody (this man can honestly do no wrong)
-Jonny Greenwood and
-Phil Selway from Radiohead, in cameo appearances as the Weird Sisters band.
Still, should be mildly entertaining. Doesn't open here for a little while though methinks. Oh well.
