A good Harry Potter movie, part of the series.

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 2007)

OK, look, I'm a 62-year-old grandpa, and long ago gave up keeping track of all the story lines in these movies. I enjoyed the first one most, because it introduced me to the characters and the fantasy world that they are in. So I no longer try to keep track of everything, I just sit back and enjoy what I see on the screen.
Daniel Radcliffe as most of us have come to see is the embodiment of Harry Potter, the fictional character. He has matured and now has the opportunity to take a leadership role among the young wizards, to fight off the evils that seem to be invading Hogwarts school.
Emma Watson is back as Hermione Granger and Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley. The two of them along with Potter make up what is most fun to watch. The rest of the characters, to me, are just there to allow the story to unfold and for Harry, Hermoine, and Ron to save the day.
I enjoyed it, but I suspect only die-hard Potter fans can get the full benefit of the movies anymore.
