Movie: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

I saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix a fortnight ago because I knew enough to wait for the wife for the third Bourne movie.

I haven’t read all the Potters (though the boy has, several times), and I can never remember which of the previous movies I’ve seen. This one was fine, but I’m not invested in them. Metacritic weighs in with a combined 71: makes sense to me.

One side note: despite a comment from my friend Sean to the theater owners during the early part of the film, the entire movie was shown out of focus. I might not have noticed before, but I’m starting to pay attention — and it’s really distracting once you do. Ignorance is bliss!
