Not as strong as the first two installments

Rating: 6/10 (6 August 2019)

Potter film #3 starts to get a bit dark. The plot isn't as riveting, the kids aren't as "cute", and the special effects start to get too "digital". And the magic isn't as plausible.
As a fan of Robert Hardy, it was nice to see him as Fudge, even if his role was minor at this point. We knew Mark Williams from the "Father Brown" series, and liked him in his red hair! And I think I prefer Gambon as Dumbledore.
So while not as strong as the first two films, not as depressing as the ones that follow.
