A troubled teenager

"You are a fool, Harry Potter, and you will lose everything". Voldemort is at his highest point of wickedness in the fifth part of Harry Potter, that starts to put some distance from wand fighting and gets deeper into the battle that a troubled teenager has to put up with inside of him.

The last 20 minutes are spectacular. Chasing and fighting as only can happen in the magic world, covered by a veil of mistery and evil that increases from the first minute of film.
The performances' qualities have improved greatly, has it had happened with each new film and the growing of the actors. The only one that disappoints since Richard Harris died is that of Michael Gambon in his role of Albus Dumbledore. The Headmaster moves with too much energy and shows too much his emotions, wandering away from the real character of Dumbledore, the best wizard of all times.

The movie has ambiguous changes of humour, the music being guilty for many of them. And, even though this soundtrack is one of the best from the series, it doesn't fit with the sad and lugubrious tone of the story.
