I've seen the whole Harry Potter series with my kids and I have to say...they just keep getting better! This latest installment maintains that feeling of darkness that has been overtaking the lives of Harry, Hermione and Ron. The sense of urgency and "time running out" is created by Dumbledore's nightly meetings and travels with Harry. All of this darkness and brooding by Malfoy is tempered by the love antics of hormonal teenagers. The climax (obviously the tower scene!) is rightfully dramatic and viewers finally accept the fact that even Hogwarts isn't safe anymore. Dark magic, long-hidden secrets and pursuing a quest that seems impossible for 3 teenagers...can't wait for the next installment!
