8 / 10
As a huge fan of the book series, I can easily say that "HP3" is the best film adaptation so far. The movie manages to be hilarious, deep and sad, and scary at the same time, in a way that may appeal more to the older fans like myself than the younger ones. - Alexander Kardelo

In the end, it is still Alfonso Cuarón's direction that impresses the most. Hogwarts has never been as dark and enchanting. - Robert Börjesson

Negative, no rating
Since Cuarón lacks Rowling's class understanding - on the contrary, his films take place in a kind of classless illusion where humanity is a single solidary lump and where everyone lives hand in hand unaffected by the power structures of society - he completely lacks the ability to find the violent and destructive in the good or the quiet and peaceful in the evil.

"HP3" suffers from a lack of something essential: emotional magic. - Helena Lindblad
