J.K. Rowling is one of the few Children’s authors I know who is willing to kill off major characters. In this movie Dumbledore dies and Harry is left almost completely on his own to battle Voldemort, except for a few friends, the Weasleys and a handful of teachers. ( )

Enjoyable film as it all gets even darker and Malfoy in particular gets some character development. But I really wish directors would realise darker themes don't mean the film itself has to be so dark in lighting. I kept wanting to shout "turn the lights up" - why spend so much on a film and then make it so dark, the viewer is struggling to see anything? It's a common modern problem and I wish they'd all get over it!! ( )
