To be Oohed and Ahhed Over

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 2005)

Hoorah! The best of the lot. For all you Harry Potter fans out there, readers of the series and non-readers alike, this is the absolute best Harry Potter movie. This new film comes to me as renewed faith in the Harry Potter series after what I considered a horrible turn by Alfonso Cuaron in Prisoner of Askaban. I know fans were divided on "POA" and I was definitely in the "hated it" camp with the reason being how many important elements were left out, and not just nitpicking little items but key ingredients.
Enough reviewers here have told you about the plot and my, my how the kids have grown but what I would like to add is that this latest Harry Potter film really captures the humor of the books. JK Rowling's humor is one of the key ingredients to the success of Harry Potter and it's nice to see it fully demonstrated here.
This is a truly wonderful film. Can't bless it enough!
