July 14, 2009This chapter is maybe the weakest so far, it still looks amazing and the general imagination on show is still brilliant in every department but it just seems alittle flat.

November 19, 2009My absolute favorite film in the series. It is a great adaption and has some of the best performances in a children's movie.

In Cuaron's hands, the world of Harry Potter doesn't feel like a synthetic movie theme park anymore. It's almost real, Hogwarts and all. full review

The third Harry Potter movie is the first one that actually looks and feels like a movie, rather than a staged reading with special effects. full review

March 16, 2008Cuaron is one of HP's best directors..he had good camera angles and the sensitivity for details/emotion without being melodramatic.
His style is haunting,yet,infused with lightness and comedy.
Harry looks good here,hermione is all girl power and ron is the cool side kick. -
