What can I say? Another great Harry Potter book brought to life with wonderful special effects and more mature performances from the title characters! What a treat to see these young kids, now young adults, grow in both stature and performance over the course of the films. This film had more humour, together with very dark, moral themes--a great combination. There was less reliance on the special effects--they were used in just the right places and as an audience we just expected them as a normal part of the Potter world. Whoever did the initial casting is brilliant. They saw something in these fresh, young actors that has definitely made these books come to life!
