    I just love Harry Potter. sorry, I'm biased. Ok, I will say this: you need to read the books to really enjoy the films. That is all.

    Another worthy part of the series, although it didn?t seem to up it's game any. It shows how much the three have grown since the beginning of the adventure but probably the least enjoyable so far, still pretty entertaining though.

    It's a fun, magical movie. Nothing amazing but, you know, it's just a sweet spot sort of thing.

    This is the only Harry Potter movie I really like. The others are scary and slow. This one not only has eye candy Rob Pattinson in it but its exciting and adventurous.

Kurt Loder, MTV

In the book this is a wholly engrossing story -- an epic tale of good
and evil and loss and yearning. Transported to the screen, however, it
has sustained a few dinks and dents. full review

Anthony Lane, The New Yorker

[Newell] cannot do much about the slightly tired sadism that is creeping into the cracks of the Potter franchise. full review

David Edelstein, Slate

It's always a treat to see what big-studio-franchise cash can produce in the way of top-flight British (and Irish) actors. full review

Edward Havens, FilmJerk.com

What was a sneaking suspicion after the first three movies has become irrefutable proof [here]: if you are not a fan of, and intimately familiar with, the Harry Potter novels, you're not welcome here full review

November 17, 2005
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Though the special effects in this film are often breathtaking, the real drama is here is exactly where it should be: in a young man's frightened but resolute eyes. full review

November 17, 2005
Claudia Puig, USA Today

It's scarier than the previous three movies and more poignant. full review

November 17, 2005
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

Before the final credits roll, the Potter saga has transformed into a fully matured allegory of elemental struggle, a knock-down drag-out between opposing forces. full review

November 17, 2005
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

It balances the exhilaration of independence -- one of the great joys of growing up -- with the sobering realization that being a grown-up means there's no one around to protect you. full review

November 17, 2005
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

[Newell] balances delicately between whimsy and the ominous, on the uncertain middle ground where Harry lives, poised between fun at school, teenage romance and the dark abyss. full review

November 14, 2005
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

It's hard to resist. full review

    mkaay don't get me wrong i love the harry potter movies. but i guess the books r a LOT better then the movies and any real HP fan would agree. They leave too much of the important details out.
    but anyway its a good movie.

    All of these movies have dramatically changed the way that I look at films, I want to thank J.K.Rowling for what she has made and also thank her for making one of the most looked at and famous movies in the world, good on ya, Joanne! And the actors and actresses that have worked for this movie and the people who have created it, I would like to give them the biggest clap in the world!

    You Rock!
