![]() Thewlis puts in his best turn yet I reckon. The returning actors are fantastic as ever and newcomers Gary Oldman and David Thewlis are very good indeed, although the former a little underused. The hippogriff and the werewolf, in particular, are fine. Meanwhile there are all sorts of new and weird things happening, like Pam Ferris turning into a balloon and books that bite your fingers off, pretty much like the Luggage from Pratchett's DISCWORLD series.Īdded in for good measure are some excellent bonding scenes, tons of humour, a little romance here and there, and some wonderful new creatures animated by computer. Seeing how the kids have grown up is a little alarming, however! Things are pretty unpredictable, with Harry fighting off the monstrous (and excellent CGI-animated) Dementors, wraith-like ghosts which literally suck your face off. Hats off to Rupert Grint's Ron, the most hilarious character on screen and a wonderful acting performance. Things I noticed in this film were improved acting all around and plenty more humour than in the last two, but thankfully the humour is actually funny for a change. ![]() It's just as great as the last two (if not better – I think this is my favourite of the three) and despite the over-lengthy running time, the interest doesn't let up. The third HARRY POTTER film (still gotta get round to reading the books) and definitely a step in a different direction, with more unpredictable narrative – thank god Harry doesn't have to fight a clichéd monster at the end – and better direction by Mexican Alfonso Cuaron, who makes it look darker, gloomier and more magical. Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 9 / 10 Best of the Harry Potter film series The Dementors I felt quite terrifying, a lot more chilling than they were in the book. Timothy Spall I felt was a little odd for Wormtail. The real treat lies in the newcomers though, namely David Thewlis as Lupin, Emma Thompson as Trelawney and Gary Oldman as Sirius. The three leads are still likable, and they are given solid support by Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman and Robbie Coltrane. Richard Harris, the first and better Dumbledore, had died, and although Gambon was good, Harris suited the character a lot more in terms of looks and sincerity. The only real quibble i had with the movie was Michael Gambon as Dumbledore. His scores to Star Wars, ET and Home Alone are better. In all three movies, it is very good, but not Williams's best work. In my reviews on the first two films, I forgot to mention the music by John Williams. But based upon a truly excellent but complex book, it is a very good film nonetheless. This is certainly darker than the first two instalments, and not as funny. Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 8 / 10 A valiant effort bringing a truly complex book to screen! Little does Harry know that by the end of this year, many holes in his past (whatever he knows of it) will be filled up and he will have a clearer vision of what the future has in store. To worsen the conditions for Harry, vile creatures called Dementors are appointed to guard the school gates and inexplicably happen to have the most horrible effect on him. However, he soon learns that a dangerous criminal and Voldemort's trusted aide Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) has escaped from Azkaban Prison and wants to kill Harry to avenge the Dark Lord. ![]() Initially scared for using magic outside the school, he is pleasantly surprised that he won't be penalized after all. He runs away after using magic to inflate Uncle Vernon's (Richard Griffiths') sister Marge (Pam Ferris), who was being offensive towards Harry's parents. Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is having a tough time with his relatives (yet again). ![]()
