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.

    By far the best film of the series so far. Great supporting cast. Jim Broadbent was perfect as Horace Slughorn. Plenty of laughs. Plenty of serious bits. It seems like Radcliffe and Watson can actually act at this point and for a 2 and a half hour film it really didn't feel like it. I'm actually looking forward to the next one now

    I'm not sure how anyone would class this as good. I've yet to see a valid reason. It, to me, had no storyline bar one event (which I won't ruin for anyone who plans on seeing it) I felt it had no definite start or ending... whereas the other films did. It seemed to all be "middle", like watching a prologue rather then the main movie. Completely disappointed. David Yates is an awesome producer and it's all filmed quite well. But with the way it pans out, I'm one Potter fan who thinks they'd rather not've watched this movie. (And yes I realise this particular book was one of the books with very few dramatically exciting parts)2 stars for trying. And I'd still reccommend people see it and decide for themselves.

    possibly the best entry in the series. Great drama, strong peformances and utterly spectacular effects. The teens hormonal activities are concentrated on a little too much and the emotional finale isnt given enough screentime but given the expansive size of the source material the filmmakers have done a brilliant job. Roll on The Deathly Hallows!
