I'm generally not a fan of the HP books or movies, though I've read the books and watched all the movies. They're entertaining enough, but not my bag. That said, I was also a big fan of the direction Cuaron took the franchise. He really did make a more mature movie than anyone before or after him. The scene with the ride on the phoenix was an amazing example of how to portray the wonder and exhilaration that a young person would feel if they were ever able to ride a fantasy beast like that.

The movie (and novel) in which Harry stops being a child and the narrative becomes a lot darker. The novel where Rowling finally puts everything in place for the remaining novels.

Thoroughly enjoyed both the movie and novel. One of my favourites. Love almost everything about the movie, except aunt Margot blowing up. That looked a bit amateurish compared to the rest of the movie.

I came here to say the same. It's definitely my favorite Harry Potter movie.

It seems to be improving every film. I'm getting into it by the abc Harry potter weekend and i like it.

I tell you guys if your up for talking about Harry Potter and his world
