Verdict: As good as these actors are, nothing prepares you for the malevolent force that is Lord Voldemort and the brilliance of the actor playing him, Ralph Fiennes. Inventive visuals and funny bits abound here in this latest Rowling installment, and Newell definitely puts his own stamp on the franchise and delivers the best Potter movie yet filmed ... in our humble opinion, of course! Further, this new film is exactly what fans are looking for, offering eye-boggling spectacle and lots of well-executed action scenes. And yes, it may well be the darkest 'Potter' yet, but it's also (as already pointed out) the best!
