Harry Potter... You will lose... everything.

Rating: 6/10 (12 July 2007)

I actually got the opportunity to see this today and was mesmerized by the increasing maturity of the movies in the series. It actually was more of an adult film that the previous ones and makes me think that we are in for a treat with the next two.
The usual gang is back, and there are some great performances. I particularly liked Richard Griffiths (Vernon Dursley) in his brief appearance; Natalia Tena (Mrs. Henderson Present, About a Boy) was the first really attractive adult in the films; Gary Oldman (Sirius Black) was also excellent; Alan Rickman (Snape) is a favorite; and, of course, Ralph Fiennes as Lord Valdamort.
I really liked the performance of Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange. I am looking forward to seeing her again. And the addition of unknown Evanna Lynch as Luna Lovegood was brilliant casting.
The ending fights were spectacular and worth the price of admission. This was definitely the best yet and makes me anxious for number six.
