No. He isn't. And he's not into Cho either anymore. If you haven't read the books, you'll see in the next one who he ends up with (and IMO will stay with unless a death seperates them)

Ginny.

Uh.... the spoilers are supposed to be for the Order of the Phoenix, Ozzy. I suggest a freaking spoiler box for your post for those who have not gone farther!

Are the high rises you see at first Canary Place?

Yep.

Originally posted by lord of the mark I assume they are going out of their way to minimize detection by muggles, coming on over the river and spending less time over land. Of course its hard to believe the muggles on the river boats wont see them.

Except they're the other end of the river. Surrey is South West of London. They must have gone East, and then West back past the Houses of Parliament. Though I get the need to do it in the film.

Then again, in the book, he was taking care not to be seen. Flying at even below rooftop altitude is hardly the way to do so.

In order not to be seen, you don't fly into the most densely packed part of the UK, if you can avoid it. They went into Central London, then out again.

Saw it tonight. It was OK. I wish I could have forgotten the plot, though. There wasn't much suspense, was it? But it was fun to see what the artists did with the Potter material. Umbridge's office was spot on, IMO. The woman playing Umbridge was great, too.

The best movie and book so far remains the third one, IMO.

Saw it this week, and liked it very much. It's the best film after Azkaban, IMHO, and it does a better job than any of the others at portraying the urgency of the fight against Voldemort -- not just in the final battle scene, but throughout. I also think it was nore coherent than most critics have given it credit for; almost everything going on is explained, but briefly (in other words, we're not hit over the head with exposition, which is a vast improvement from most of the movies -- and the books fo that matter). Umbridge didn't match my memory of her from the book -- I remember her as clearly loathesome and despotic from the very beginning -- but Imelda Staunton did a great job with her. And Luna was brilliant. All in all, way, way better than I expected.

I haven't read a single book. So it isn't a spoiler, I was just guessing.

I guess you confirmed it though...

According to Lupin (or was it Sirius?) he was arrogant, but that was his 14 yo immature self (sorry Ozzy) and he grew out of it.

Incidentally, haven't seen the movie yet, and I was just wondering:

Does the locket make a brief appearance, like in the book?

[Kuciwalker]

Nope. No Mundungus at all.
