The latest chapter in the saga is to a certain extent beyond criticism as by now people are in one of two camps - either you are or you are not a fan of the books or the films.
Being most definitely in the former group I always eagerly look forward to a new instalment in the series.Whereas the first three films were fairly faithful to their respective books the last three have omitted huge chunks of the narrative owing to the sheer volume of the texts.Notwithstanding this in this film there are two fairly substantial sequences which were not in the book,which is something of a departure.Acting honours as usual go to Alan Rickman for his note-perfect interpretation of Professor Snape and the wonderful Emma Watson who simply is Hermione - the performances are very good all round.
I also think there should be a special mention to Evanna Lynch who plays Luna Lovegood - a genuinely charming portrayal.More adult themes this time as our heroes and heroines discover love and all its ups and downs.
I went to see it twice and enjoyed it even more the second time.I did think however that the major event depicted here was something of an anti-climax,but maybe that was just me.Attention now shifts to the last book which has been shot in two films so nothing will be left out.Visiting and immersing oneself in JK Rowling's world is always a sheer delight.8/10
