The beginning of the end

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2004)

There isn't much else to say than that this movie was awesome. Cuaron's vision and dark tones was the perfect setting for what is the beginning of Harry's dark, downward spiral to the end of the series. I loved the 1st two movies that Chris Columbus directed because they set the scenario and established the characters for the viewers to understand and fall in love with. HPPoA is a dark book and therefore needed to be a dark movie. The actors have grown into their characters and all of the new characters had only nominal face time; with the exception of Prof. Lupin and Sirius Black . These two characters, Black especially become as important to the series as Harry, Hermione and Ron. I look forward to seeing the next installment,Goblet of Fire.
