Color me impressed! So far, the third movie held the benchmark for the series (a fun mystery, fantastic camerawork, and the series' first turn toward the darker aspects of its story) but I think this one might just have it beat. It's certainly darker (tell me the opening doesn't remind you of 28 Days Later), moodier (Voldemort is finally starting the feel like the Sauron-esque boogeyman that everyone says he is), and much more subtly paced. Sure, it loses a lot of the fun that the earlier entries have, but in its place are a genuinely powerful performance by Radcliffe as Potter, a deliciously forboding atmosphere, and the feeling that all the chess pieces are really sliding into place for the series' big finale. Wonderful stuff!

How can you say that a movie that glorifies witchcraft and encourages young children to be involved in it is delightful?
I saw an interview with a satanist witch, and she said that no one under the age of 18 should be involved in witch craft.
I don't know if you know it, in the Old Testament witches were condemned by God and killed.
I pray the your eyes will be opened and you will see the truth about witch craft. It is serious--not a game to be played. The consequences could be demonic.
