What's The Story?
Lord Voldemort has returned? Eh, who's going to believe that? The Ministry of Magic says to shun anyone who even suggests such a thing - folks like Dumbledore and Harry Potter. Well, maybe those jerks should be a little more vigilant, because there's going to be a hullabaloo at Hogwarts. Good thing Dumbledore is forming a secret resistance, training our hero Harry his mates for a wizardly battle. But how can Harry concentrate on magic when he's also trying to be a teenager? Rebellion, romance, and raging hormones make for a memorable fifth year at school.
Three Good Reasons
1 You live in a home with someone under the age of 12 and you won't hear the end of it if you don't go.
2 Director David Yates is new to the franchise. His last film, The Girl in the Cafe, was a thought-provoking drama. Can he add some more depth to our beloved wizard?
3 They keep finding more eminent British actors to add to the cast. This time, it's Oscar-nominees Helena Bonham Carter and Imelda Stuanton.
Bet You Didn't Know
This is the first film in the franchise not written by Steve Kloves. Fear not: screenwriter Michael Goldenberg is no stranger to adapting books where characters fly. He co-wrote the screen versions of 2003's Peter Pan and 1997's Contact.
