Customer Reviews

Voldemort's back, and you are going to be in trouble.

Mr. Riddle has returned, and the Minister of Magic (Robert Hardy) refuses to believe this. Of course, everyone sides with the minister against Harry and his closest friends. Dudley (Harry Melling) practically gets sucked to death, and the Dursleys (Fiona Shaw and Richard Griffiths) get a new flat-screen TV. The story plods along and leaves out key information revealed in the book. Every character stares at their feet and counts from one to ten before making their calculated statements. The film carries the story forward, but does little to contribute other than a prophecy, which takes all of five minutes. I do have to say that there was one good exception: Helena Bonham Carter made a believable Bellatrix Lestrange, the crazed dispatcher of Neville’s parents. In place of story and acting, we have lots of CGI filler. The graphics are on par with today’s technology, except for the department of mysteries; that location looked so phony that you would think you were watching Saturday morning cartoons.
