There is no doubt that the new entry in the Harry Potter series is well acted and well crafted. Even so, though, it is the worst in the series so far. The Ministry of Magic is growing concerned on Harry's claim that that the Dark Lord (Voldemort) is at full power again. They try to wart off Harry's claim by trying to get him expelled, but they end up failing to do so. So they decide to send one of their workers (Dolores Umbridge) to take a job at Hogwarts. When she arrives, she begins to take over the school and makes the students read about magic other than use magic. The students begin to fear that they won't learn how to protect themselves using magic and look up to Harry to help them learn to do so. So Harry and his friends begin to train the school secretly and everything begins to start off just fine, but Harry is having dreams about a room in the Ministry and begins to see terrible things (like Mr. Weasly being attacked by a snake). Then Dolores finds out that the students are learning magic without her approval. Once she finds out so, she takes over the school as head master and Ministry tries to take Dumbledore to Azkaban. Then Harry has another dream that his uncle (Sirius Black) is being attacked in a room at the Ministry by Voldemort who wants him to get something in the room. So, Harry's friend and him go to Ministry to confront Voldemort and find out whatever Voldemort wants. I don't think that the problem with the film is that it is too dark or that the characters seem more older, but that it skips some info from the book. The movie is too short (even though it is about one-hundred-thirty minutes long) and some viewers may not understand stuff in the movie if they have not read the book (even though they should have read the book). Overall though, it is a good movie and think fans will enjoy it. Overall: B
