Let me just say that I have been constantly impressed with the work that is done by the Harry Potter movies' cast and crew. Their improvement has shone brightly throughout the saga. I was especially impressed with the scene at the Ministry of Magic where Sirius is killed. Daniel Radcliffe's emotion is fantastic and the music and sound editing is spot on. I love how its in slow motion and mute for part of the scene, and then transfers smoothly into sound and movement. I also was impressed in a scene shortly after that where Harry is being possessed by Voldemort and he is laying on the ground, watched by Dumbledore. Yet again, Daniel Radcliffe provides emotion and dynamics.
I was thrilled by the choice of Imelda Stauten for Dolores Umbridge. Her sickly sweetness is overcast by her love for torture and hate for children. Yet again, a spotless performance.
I am also continuously impressed by the music soundtrack. The songs add dimension and feeling to every scene.
All in all, i feel that the great legend of Harry Potter is perfectly portrayed in its movie counterparts.
