Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film)/Fridge
Fridge Brilliance
- I was always wondering why Luna was shot from either knee or waist height, or from a distance so that her feet were out of focus in the film adaptation of Order of the Phoenix. Upon rewatching the film, it hit me that the only time that the camera showed her feet clearly was when she and Harry were in the Forbidden Forest, surrounded by the Thestrals, and Harry asked why she was barefoot.
- No doubt to spare Evanna Lynch the need to go barefoot in every scene.
- Harry sarcastically comments to Dudley, "Five against one, very brave," in reference to Dudley and his friends beating up a ten-year-old. Later, not counting Harry and the Order members who arrive, it's five against one, and yes, it truly is very brave. Instead of five or six large teenagers picking on a small kid, it's one large man doing far worse than trying to beat up five teenagers, and the teenagers try to fight back, not just out of self-preservation but to help the one singled out.
