    ★★★★½

    As a Potterhead and as a fan of time-travel-related books/films, this film hits the spot. The story of saving innocent lives with the use of time-travel and Harry fighting off the dementors with a patronus charm that resembles his father James's patronus is all so wonderfully made. The confidence of Hermoine in this film as well is impressive and noticeable. I love the book and the movie, and watching the film with John Williams adding the magic into the film scoring makes it that much more magical.

    Soundtrack Selection:
    "Buckbeak's Flight" - John Williams

Although I personally preferred the first movie, I understand why people enjoyed this movie as well because it may be more relatable to teens who went through this experience. Regardless, the story, animation, and music was great.

Realizing each of them into an actual person helps the audience understand what they would have been like when they were alive, and…
