yeah, really her only identification is when moody introduced her, and she got pissed and said 'dont call me nymphadora'. this may foreshadow that she has a reletively small role.

I was kinda disappointed with the Order's initial rescue of Harry. It took all of 30 seconds. It's like, the door opened, then they were outside, and then they were flying on brooms.

Where was the luggage? And why were they flying so low and close to boats? A flying car can be seen but flying broom sticks can't?

I know it's minor and done for effects but it kind of bothered me a little bit.

Anyway I've realized I've gone a little off topic. Yes I think Tonks should have had a bigger role, and would have had the rescue scene been a bit longer.

Wotcher is a British slang for a greeting. Tonks says it to Harry throughout OotP and HBP. The first time she says it is in OotP on page 47 when she first meets Harry.

i hate it when some characters are given like, what, 5 lines only when they obviously have more... 10 at least would be decent enough. bella as well only has 6 lines... but she did her role well.

Tonks and Belltraix were great in what they were given,that's for sure. So I think it makes me wish they had even more.

I think Ginny got shafted the most!
She had a semi big role in Ootp and in the movie she had like 3 lines.
Reducto twice then the question to Harry.
Im disapointed a that

Yeah, all she had was a few jealous looks thrown at Cho.
The first time she did the reducto spell was awesome, but the second time... it almost killed them.


I beginning to realize that none of our favorite characters really got enough lines for us... sucks, doesn't it?

She should've had a more prominent role in the beginning of the film, but I do like the fact that they gave her a touch of clumsiness, like she is the in book. That made me feel a little better about the situation.

I was really surprised in how little of a part she had ): I loved her character in the books.
