It is still an edge-of-your-seat adventure that people will love. The Plot In this Potter tale, ...

Disadvantages: Some dodgy effects work and plot holes in abundance.

...where in the real world Harry and his bullying cousin are chased through an arid summer landscape by faceless Dementors. He partly achieves this with his use of handheld cameras that bring a sense of immediacy to the events while adding a sense of danger.

Just remember one thing... this review has nothing ... Read review

Advantages: Great story Great animation Great lessons learned
Disadvantages: Can be quite distressing to young children
