Best of the Series!!!

Rating: 8/10 (4 April 2008)

OK, the majority of these movies aren't too good (Order of the Pheonix & Goblet of Fire being the worst). But this one really outstrips the others. They included the majority of the things in the book (but not the DeathDay Party or the Hand of Glory - but the thing that grabbed Harry's hand was good enough for me).
The Basilisk & Dobby looked (and sounded) just like I thought they would. The flying car sequence was excellent...although Harry falling out the door and dangling over the train was a bit much for me. The Acromantula attack was incredible, and fighting the Basilisk was INSANELY cool! Unfortunately, I'm a villain fan, and I was very sad when the Basilisk was killed. Riddle's death was well-done too.
Overall, the thing that sold this for me was, once again, John Williams' fantastic score...buy "Fawkes the Pheonix" off iTunes, it's excellent! I truly miss John Williams' work in these movies.
Don't pay ANY ATTENTION AT ALL to those dunderheads who say this movie sucked. It didn't. At all.
