Genre:

Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simmering with jealousy but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

    Despite the changes to the plot this was possibly the most entertaining and best acted of the films so far. Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint put in amazing performances but for me Emma Watson still lags behind slightly. Of the young cast special attention must be bought to the amazing Tom Felton who gave audiences a superb performance which was strong, convincing and stuck to the character of Draco the most. Overall a visually pleasing film with some fine performances but not a perfect film.

    Was really looking forward to this one and was really disappointed by it. Parts of the movie didn't make sense. Characters just introduced for no other reason but because they were in the book. Could have been so much more.
