These people egged us on, so we went with them to see [tag]Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix[/tag] at a 12:01 showing.

It’s mercifully short of house elves, but sadly, also short on [tag]Alan Rickman[/tag]. I thought it was a fine movie (Alan Rickman’s long absences from the screen notwithstanding) but can’t remember enough of the book now to make any meaningful analysis.

Mercifully few house elves. I think that’s all you really need to know.
