It's getting dark out there
4/4 stars

The Harry Potter francise continues in this fifith installment, which really sets the tone for what's to follow in the upcoming books/movies. Due to the enormous text (nearly 900 pages), this movie is really the cliff notes version of the book, so a lot of secondary plot lines that worked well in the book simply don't exist here. What you will see is what matters to the final, inevitable showdown of the series. Great effects and casting, particularly Imelda Staunton as Dolores Umbridge, who embodies the character brilliantly.
