Harry (Radcliffe) faces expulsion, as the Ministry Of Magic tries to quell claims that Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) is back again.
I considered giving it four stars but then it occurred to me, why? It's enjoyable and very well made and the nearly annual event of seeing the continuing saga of these characters or really just Harry, is an enjoyable occasion but are they really that great. I always get the sense of being told the synopsis of a book, which I am. I haven't read them and am really a LOTR guy (not that I suppose you can't be both) having read it back in '86. The LOTR movies are near masterpieces but they still lack some of the richness of the Tolkien trilogy and some of the Harry Potter books are as big as the whole LOTR.
