The best Potter by far

Rating: 9/10 (17 July 2007)

Finally! A Harry Potter film that actually gripped me. There is a tense atmosphere through the entire film and actually a real sense of danger which was missing from the previous installments. The effects are truly excellent and the score by Nicholas Hooper is superb - much much better than the ones made by John Williams, who off course built the scores foundation. I especially like the Irish/Scottish take on the score. My only problem is some of the slapstick scenes - a bit too childish (but then again I'm 33 years old).
Very effective film. A big cadeau to director David Yates, who obviously is more bold than the previous Potter directors. Highly recommended!
