Order of the Phoenix

Last night I was watching the movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which is the fifth of the movies based on the Harry Potter series of books by JK Rowling. I actually really do like the books, and the films. They are really entertaining. I was kind of put off reading the books for quite a long time because they were children's books, but they do appeal to all ages. The sixth one is in the cinemas at the moment. I haven't seen it yet, but I'm thinking about seeing it tomorrow.

I got into work really early today, at about quarter past eight, which meant that I managed to leave early, so that was really good (our work operates on a flexitime system). When I got home I had a microwave chicken chow-mein meal, which was really nice.

I've been reading the non-fiction book Public Enemies by Bryan Burrough recently. It was adapted into the film of the same name starring Johnny Depp. The film is different to the book, in that the film concerns itself almost entirely with John Dillinger, whereas the book discusses a whole range of the American gangsters and bank-robbers who were active between 1933 and 1934.
