Brooding, Fantastic, Spellbinding

The Potter trio is all grown up and better than ever in the newest film. Radcliffe, Watson, and Grint have really come into their own this time, carrying a storyline otherwise lagged by a misty plot. They continue to battle dark wizards, the loss of loved ones and home, and most importantly they're plagued by their own fears and doubts, never truly knowing who is enemy and who is ally, if there any of the latter. Great acting by the three main characters is accompanied by fantastic visuals in scenes of wizardly duals that would have Merlin's heart racing. The stakes of these duals is more than just detention with Umbridge.
A slowed middle of the movie is brightened by light humor, another touching Christmas moment (7 for 7!) and the trio's ability to carry stagnant dialogue as well as make mild mystery connections seem like "wow" moments to the audience.
As the movie winds down, it's clear that the last 20 minutes are an intense pre-cursor to what should be one of the most epic and influential movies in years. As the good guys lose more and more, the bad guys gain one last piece of the puzzle to become more powerful than ever. Is there a magic incantation to skip to July, Harry?

Yes, I recommend this movie.
