Absolutely brilliant , where do I begin . Loved the three main adolescents with Daniel Radcliffe rapidly improving. Outstanding though was Emma Watson as Hermione . Playing a young girl of this age as they are,moody, emotional,but caring ,growing up faster than boys , and beginning to show a serious interest in the other sex , whilst Harry and Ron stand on the perimeter's of manhood , showing a Lukewarm interest in girls , but retaining many childhood charachteristics Brendan Gleeson is tops, although there are also Brilliant performances for Ralph fiennes as Lord Voldemort , Roger Lloyd Pack as Barty Crouch , Miranda Richardson as Reeter Skeeter and so on The only weaknesses for me were Frances De la tour as Madame Olympe Maxime and Hagrid ,which to me was the only weak storyline. My favourite scenes were when Harry is selected for the tournament , the Maze the Underater scenes etc,even at 41 I found some parts of the film quite scary . Best of luck to David Yates who's directing the Order of the Phoenix , but this will be a tough act to follow.
