Darker than previous. Stories of adolescents and adolescence.

Rating: 7/10 (3 December 2005)

The kids have begun to discover sexuality. The boys sitting next to the adorable Hermione, wondering which female to invite to a dance, then Ron sees Hermione and says "Your a girl," but lacks the correct presence to elicit a delighted 'Yes!'
Rowling gives a story which creates believable characters with dark secrets. Why does that curse make Longbottom quiver? {Yes, I read my writing, but that last might scan unnoticed}
The school kids told me that this movie seemed rushed. It certainly is quickly paced with little room for sentimental reflection. Cheers of triumph turn to despair. Harry is constantly looking for betrayal from those he loves and who love him.Some side stories are pared to focus the movie on the essential story. As usual, the photography is beautiful and detailed. My heart is full.
Tightly edited and crisp. The only people who will be disappointed will be those who want to be.
