5Dark and beautiful  Jul 27, 2010
Rabid fans of the novel will be disappointed at what's left out - for everyone else, this is probably the best of the Potter movies so far...fantastic art direction and cinematography, that help build up the sense that unstoppable Darkness is approaching Hogwarts... wonderfully poignant glimpses of the Hogwarts kids as teenagers who may be great at magic but don't know what to do with their hormones... though this episode is one last stop, before the two-part finale, it's deeply satisfying in its own right, as we see the wrenching end of the beloved characters' innocence -the last dark glimpse of Hogwarts before the Beginning of the End.

5Second best film of the series so far -- excellent transfer for difficult cinematography  Jul 26, 2010
I was not a fan of director David Yates's adaptation of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", which was a disjointed mess that got neither the feel nor the substance of the book correct, so I was not optimistic about this sixth film in the Harry Potter series. The return of series scribe Steve Kloves seems to have made a big difference, because this movie does a great job of keeping all of the complex character interplay intact even as large chunks of plot are lost along the way. These characters felt like the characters I'd read in the books, and I care a lot more about that than having every scene from the book reproduced, however fleetingly. This is probably the least action-heavy of the movies so far, but if you don't care about the characters by now, why are you still watching?

The cinematography for the film went through a belaboured process. Cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel originally intended a very dark, very monochrome -- almost black and white -- look for the film. After seeing how far in that direction Delbonnel had gone, they panicked and ordered the unique look scaled back, with the color saturation boosted back up considerably. The result is a beautiful looking film, but NOT a natural looking film. The picture remains very dark, with a lot of detail lost to the shadows that there's no way of getting back. The midranges are anemic, because there simply wasn't that much detail to bring back in the first place. This is how the film looked in theaters and is NOT a fault of the Blu-ray presentation. It's how the movie's supposed to look, even if that look isn't everyone's cup of tea.

1Pass on this one  Jul 18, 2010
I really didnt like this movie, this series just keeps getting more boring and long. My husband insisted we get this to continue his set of the series, but he wasnt interested in the movie either

The movie came quickly to my house and in pristine condition. I'm very happy with my purchase.
