Best Potter yet

Rating: 8/10 (10 October 2007)

At least for me it was ... and I don't know jack about the book(s), so I can't tell you what's missing etc. etc. etc. But what I can tell you is that the direction has gone "darker". For a family friendly wizard, that is quite an accomplishment.
By now (assuming you know the other movies and/or books) most of the characters have been established, with Sirius Black being one of my favorite, because Mr. Oldman can play "against" type (he's so often casted as a bad guy it's nice to see him play someone good for a change)! What's also nice is that you can see a development and a story continuation (although for some it might be too slow) ... but then again, it's all in the book(s), isn't it? (that's not a rhetorical question ... I Sirius-ly don't know ... sorry had to do it ;o) )
