Daniel Radcliffe has grown as an actor, and by far - in my opinion - this is his best effort yet. I am terribly disappointed in the anticlimaxtic ending. The death scene involving a major character is there, but what was dropped was the battle at Hogswort between the Deatheaters against the students, teachers, and members of the Order of the Phoenix. Why bother to have the Deatheaters in the school at all? In the film, they encouraged Darco to murder and then escorted him off the grounds. The producers dropped the ball on this one. That fight scene had set Harry up as the hero and showed the audience that this was war. Still worth seeing, but be prepared for the underplayed ending.
