'This is the Harry Potter film that really stands alone in terms of how it looks and it's style but it doesn't jar with the franchise in anyway. It still stays loyal to the source whilst maintaining it's own unique offbeat quality. This is thanks to the excellent work of director Alfonso Cuaron who really leaves his stamp on the film.
Meanwhile the three lead actors have really upped their game here and they are supported as always by an excellent supporting cast joined this time with memorable work by Emma Thompson, David Thewlis, Michael Gambon (taking over as Dumbledore) and the brilliant Gary Oldman - fantastic as Sirius Black.
The story is fantastic, werewolves, time travel and Dementors! Brilliant! Maybe the best book in the HP series, and the best film!'

Check out Emma Thompson as a much nastier teacher in the awesome Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical. The whole of the Harry Potter series is fantastic and always worth a re-watch. Meanwhile another J.K. Rowling adaptation came along with the Fantastic Beasts series.
Harry Potter regulars Michael Gambon (Dumbledore), Timothy Spall (Peter Pettigrew) and Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix LeStrange), all appear and give fantastic performances in the period drama The King's Speech.
