Peter Travers Movie Reviews
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2
What an exhilarating gift to watch Harry and Company go out in a blaze of glory and amazing grace.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I
Part I is more disappointment than disaster. It merely rolls along like something off an assembly line.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
What makes Half-Blood Prince top-tier is the descent of darkness on the lives of these characters.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Order of the Phoenix, the best of the series so far, has the laughs, the jitters and the juice to make even nonbelievers wild about Harry.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Freud would have loved this Goblet. With the cast getting looser and the mind games kinkier, its hard to resist.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Not only is this dazzler by far the best and most thrilling of the three Harry Potter movies to date, its a film that can stand on its own even if you never heard of author J.K. Rowling and her young wizard hero.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
The young actors Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, Rupert Grint as Ron, and Emma Watson as Hermione exude a new ease.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone
The screen version of J.K. Rowlings best-selling phenom about an eleven-year-old British orphan who discovers hes a wizard, isnt a movie at all its an industry and should be treated as such.
