The flying abilities given to the Order of the Pheonix and Death Eaters in Harry Potter is one of the strangest decisions on the part of the movie director. I wish they would have stuck with the book's plot.

The default admin orb is not an add-on, you won't be able to find it.
It's contained in one of the base/server/ files, which aren't readable.

Just find another add-on that overwrites it and copy it.

Apparate.

And that doesn't work for admin orbing purposes.
I was going with the movie death eater thing, but I, of course, could not possibly make the actual skeletal shapes inside the dark blobbities.
I could throw in a bone or two, but that would just look stupid.
Very stupid.

Given that the book including them blowing things up by moving through them, the film version of this seems logical. Anyway, Black swirly thing is better than instant teleportation.

This comment is not logical.
I mean after all, its a movie about wizards battling a pasty bald guy with no nose who talks to snakes and his minions turn into black dust and fly around.

In the book battles are legit - it's like a gun fight with wands. (and some projectiles make explosions)

The way that they approached creating the battles in the movies became illogical with the introduction of flying capabilities to all. In the 7th, Voldemort could fly and became much more feared for it. In the movies, if everyone can fly they could just fly behind the people they're battling. Also Mad Eye wouldn't have been left for dead when Mundungus fled - he could have just boogied the heck out of there. Anyways... I just think it less epic when they go to such states of unrealism.
