Why you might like it: · Best of the bunch so far · Daniel Radcliffe rapidly becoming a leading man · The film hits the ground running in what turns out to be a fine suspense thriller · Dark fantasy more in the vein of The Lord of the Rings or the third Potter film than it is like the first two in the franchise · Many, many superbly played supporting roles, including a sterling turn by Brendan Gleeson and an a gleefully evil small role by Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort · Excellent production values, including costumes, visual effects, and stellar musical score
Why you might not like it: · Some things in the book did not make it to the screen · You’re sick and tired of Harry Potter
