Rating: 5.0
The BEST of the series
This is the best film of the series, period.Interestingly, though, the first two films suited the ages of the protagonists. The third was an unfortunate misfire, but this one is a mature film, combining the best of scoring, acting, effects, editing, and story line.Michael Gambon is a casting win, since his acting alone should have earned him an Oscar nomination. No one else in recent memory delivers the intent of the lines with as much substance and nuance as he does.Also key to this film's success is its ability to draw the audience into the story more than any of the others. The book may be a good inspiration to the screenplay, but in the final analysis is not relevant to the merits of the film, since the film delivers on its own, as it should.There are very few movies that deserve 5 stars. This is one of them.
