As Lord Voldemort tightens his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds, Hogwarts is no longer a safe haven. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Even as the decisive showdown looms, romance blossoms for Harry, Ron, Hermione and their classmates. Love is in the air, but danger lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.
The cinematography for the film went through a belaboured process. Cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel originally intended a very dark, very monochrome -- almost black and white -- look for the film. After seeing how far in that direction Delbonnel had gone, they panicked and ordered the unique look scaled back, with the color saturation boosted back up considerably. The result is a beautiful looking film, but NOT a natural looking film. The picture remains very dark, with a lot of detail lost to the shadows that there's no way of getting back. The midranges are anemic, because there simply wasn't that much detail to bring back in the first place. This is how the film looked in theaters and is NOT a fault of the Blu-ray presentation. It's how the movie's supposed to look, even if that look isn't everyone's cup of tea.
Pass on this one - Stephra -
I really didnt like this movie, this series just keeps getting more boring and long. My husband insisted we get this to continue his set of the series, but he wasnt interested in the movie either

Rabid fans of the novel will be disappointed at what's left out - for everyone else, this is probably the best of the Potter movies so far...fantastic art direction and cinematography, that help build up the sense that unstoppable Darkness is approaching Hogwarts... wonderfully poignant glimpses of the Hogwarts kids as teenagers who may be great at magic but don't know what to do with their hormones... though this episode is one last stop, before the two-part finale, it's deeply satisfying in its own right, as we see the wrenching end of the beloved characters' innocence -the last dark glimpse of Hogwarts before the Beginning of the End.
