Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn’t counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates! And then there’s Hermione, simpering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again. –© Warner Bros

Kate says – 4 stars   I loved this movie.  It marks a return to the feel of wonder and magic that we saw in the first Harry Potter movie (and something which I feel has been missing since then.)  The cinematography is  beautiful  and a lot of attention is paid to detail.    It’s long, 2 hours and 33 minutes,  but not too long. It’s  full of excitement and fun and magic…and quite a few laughs.  I say “Go see this movie!!!”  Only one caution for the very small or sensitive,  the creatures in the water are pretty dang scary.

Ebert -  3 stars

Reelviews – 3 stars
