The fifth film, and the worst so far. A disapointment. 2007. Director: David Yates.
Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) are troubled by the horrible memories of poor Cedric's death. Dudley (Harry Melling) is pretty mean to him and after Harry pulls his wond to Dudley's throat, dark clouds gather above them and they can feel hat something bad is about to happen. They run to a tunnel and then the frightening Dementors enters and starts doing their thing. Harry manages to save himself and Dudley and returns to the safety in the house of his aunt.
For using a Patronus charm in the precence of a muggler, Harry is sent to the Minestry of Magic to be questioned for his actions.Ron's (Rupert Grint) father Arthur Weasley (Mark Williams) comes with Harry to give him confidence, even if he doesn't do so good at that part. Harry is fortunatly allowed to return to Hogwarts after Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) enters and helps his student.
Poor Harry suffers from psychologically troubles. Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) and Harry seems to have more in common that anyone thought, even Dumbledore. Snape (Alan Rickman) tries to train Harry to defend his mind from Voldemort who'll soon realize that he can use the connection between them to control Harry's mind.
Meanwhile, the awful Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton) from the Minestry, has come to the school and makes a lot of bad changes. She even tortures students, but says that it's their own fault. Can she have anything to do with You-know-who, Voldemort? The time is short, and Harry has to find out the truth about him and Voldemort. What is the secret of this power between Voldemort and Harry?
This film is good, but not so very good still. I was very disapointed when I saw it in the theatres and think that so far, if Deathly Hallows part 1 and 2 isn't worse, is the worst Harry Potter film. David Yates doesn't do an especially good job here. It doesn't feel so magical like the other films and everything is just blue, grey and dark. That's the look of the story too, but it just feels wrong in the picture. A disapointment, easily.
Daniel Radcliffe starts looking to old for playing the young Harry. He's fifthteen in this one, but Radcliffe if a few year older, which is easy to see. Alan Rickman and Maggie Smith are both very good as usual. However, this film just don't reach the peak and stays closer to the bottom then the other films.
Two of five. It's not directly bad, but a disapointment and the magic feels lost. That's the trouble.
