Potter’s not tardy

The fifth HARRY POTTER flick, THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX, is supposedly where things get “dark” for young Harold. Ooooohhh.

They’ll be getting grim a little early this time — Warner Bros. has just superstitiously shifted official release away from the original Friday, July 13th slot to that Wednesday, July 11th. There’s not really another major movie hitting that weekend, so it’s apparently to give the kid another couple of days to work the moneymaking magic. The movie features Harry once again facing noseless evil and difficult exams.

Never really got into the Potter books or movies myself — Cuaron’s was the only film in the series to hold my interest throughout. Anyway, instead of the usual crusty wizards or the leading trio of wand-waving students, here’s a pic of the cute little Asian chick. She doesn’t get enough attention.
