Better than the first two

Rating: Null/10 (29 October 2004)

The best film of the three definitely. Harry, Ron and Hermione actually act like real teenagers in this film as opposed to the first two (the tension between Ron and Hermione is especially endearing, and Draco Malfoy seems to be acting more like an actual bully in this one (he seemed much too sweet in the first two movies) ) Daniel Radcliffe's acting has improved immeasurably. There were a few cringworthy moment in the film (Harry flying the Hippogriff over the lake and having a 'Titanic' moment) but generally this is a fantastic film. A lot of things in the movie made me laugh intentionally- Malfoy's "You'll regret this and your bloody chicken." Ron's disgust over Malfoy playing up his injury to get the attention of a girl then later on doing exactly the same thing with his own injury to gain Hermione's sympathy (right down to both of them claiming the limb would have to be amputated!) I loved the Snape Boggart and thought despite this film being the darkest of the three it was also the funniest.
