Number six in the Potter series continues the darkening of the scripts as the trio grow up and we move step by step towards the climax.I think the quality of the movies has also tended to increase along the way as well, and this doesn't disappoint. It's a movie of contrasts with the humour and lightness of touch needed to deal with the budding relationships alongside the impending doom that is clearly coming.
Michael Gambon invests Dumbledore with a melancholy that indicates that something bad is in the pipeline whilst Daniel Radcliffe enjoys himself after ingesting what is clearly the wizard-world's equivalent of a spliff! And Alan Rickman is as excellent as ever, dripping the ambiguous world that the character of Snape has inhabited over the course of the tale.
There's another downbeat ending to this film but one which sets you up with anticipation for the two-parter that will bring the series to a close.
