The third film darker, but better

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2005)

I'm a big fan of all of the harry potter films, but I have found this one to be the best of all. First off I would like to mention how much I admire Michael Gambons performance as Dumbledore. I think I admired it because he didn't try to duplicate the late Richard Harris's dead on creation of Dumbledore. He instead showed how he perceived Dumbledore to be and while it is not quite as perfect as Harris's it is his own.
The film was also much darker but I liked that. I feel like the films are getting darker because Harry is maturing while facing dangers that get darker as each book and films goes by. I also liked how the film wasn't a perfect carbon copy of the book, and that some liberties were taken.
I feel like the actors really know their characters now, and have grown in talent as well. You have to remember that for the three main leads these movies pretty much are their whole list of movies they have acted in. They are getting better with each film. In particular Emma Watson has made her character into the strongest of the three.
I see great things to come in future films and I eagerly anticipate Goblet of Fire coming towards the end of the year. As for this one I say darker is better(and yes there were light-hearted moments to lighten the mood)so keep it going.
