Sadly, given my luck THIS will be my one "Harry Potter" prediction that comes true...
Reviewing "Harry Potter & The Order of The Pheonix" yesterday, I wondered aloud about the likelihood that the same "conservative" film critics who tried to claim "300" and "Transformers" as "part of the family" would make a similarly silly jump in the the direction of Hogwarts based on the film's "Harry forms paramilitary squad" storyline. As it turns out, said jump-of-silliness was taken today by one "Dirty Harry," resident-reviewer over at the pachyderm-enthusiast Liberty Film Festival "Libertas" blog, (whom I will say for the record, though I find his premise in this case to be kind of a reach, is a generally fine critic in his own right and author of an immensly readable how-to film production series at the same blog,) in his review of the film: http://www.libertyfilmfestival.com/libertas/?p=5846#comments
Money-quote from the review: "The bottom line is that Harry’s readying his troops for war here. The word “war” is even used. They’re going to fight evil even if the Democ– er… Ministry of Magic won’t."
