Goblet of Fire captures the absolute best of the essence of Potter. Okay, it's not as dark or grown-up as Hallows 2 ,but this series was never meant to be The White Ribbon. Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011) But Harry's having disturbing visions via his connection with Voldemort that leads him to hunt down a prophecy linking the two. She stops the gang learning defence techniques so Harry and the rest form Dumbledore's Army and teach each other. Just as well, since things at school are a bit shady after Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton) is hired – a razor-blade-wrapped-in-candyfloss of a teacher. Harry has found a true ally in his godfather Sirius Black, who's actually a good guy and wants Harry to experience some positive parenting. It's possibly the most tragic of the films simply because Harry is given a tiny glimpse of hope for once, only to have it snatched out of his hands. The first of the Potter movies directed by David Yates, who manages to make a thrilling film out of a slow, overstuffed book. Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 (2010) But the general feeling is that the third film will have to up its game. Eddie Redmayne has a firmer grip on his role as Newt Scamander, bringing a bit more life to the awkward magizoologist, and Jude Law makes for an incredibly likeable younger Dumbledore (though fans hoping for explicit acknowledgment of his sexuality will be left wanting). There are plenty of revelations to delight hardcore fans, and a beautiful, magical aesthetic. Still, Crimes of Grindelwald is not without its charms. Our heroes act out of character for the sake of the plot, and those less acquainted with Potter lore may struggle to follow the ins and outs of the Paris-set search for Credence Barebone's true identity.
The second instalment in the new Fantastic Beasts five-part prequel series suffers from an extreme cast of middle-film-itis, spending more time setting up the future movies than really delivering a satisfying story. Watch on NOW TV | Amazon Prime Video | iTunes | Google Play
