Is JK Rowling happy with the Harry Potter Movies?

About Order of the Phoenix, she explained she does 'get a kick' out of seeing the Warner Brothers logo and hearing John Williams' 'Hedwig's Theme' music at the beginning of a movie.

She said she was ever so nervous upon entering the cinema to see Philosopher's Stone pleading to herself 'Please don't (let the producers) have taken great liberties with the plot'. She concluded this statement with very lightly saying 'I liked it'.
