Best Potter film to date

Rating: 8/10 (17 July 2007)

It's dark, it's the most faithful to date, and it has the best plot as of yet. The starting minutes are a bit on the bad side, suffering from the same thing the ending the last of the Potter flick suffered, which is it felt a bit rushed. Nevertheless, these minutes are brief, and as soon as Harry arrives at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, things start to get good. New characters such as Loona Lovegood or Dolores Umbridge are expertly represented, and old characters (mainly Harry and Hermione) have never been represented better. The movie doesn't take everything from the book though, and it shows, however, it usually doesn't take very important parts. The ending is something to admire, because it is one of the parts were it is actually better than the book.
I've never really loved the Harry Potter movies until now(fan of the books though), but this film is how it should be done from here on out. Excellent.
