A pig farmer gets stoned and hallucinates.

Gritty, scary, and gripping; a product of its time. Recommended both for real parenting and people who appreciate decent cinema. It's nowhere near the calibre of something like The Secret of NIMH - (1982 movie) or the like, but think gently in that direction.

Based on
- The Book of Three - (1964 book), by Lloyd Alexander
- The Black Cauldron - (1965 book), by Lloyd Alexander

Harry Potter works to chip away at Voldermort's base of power, while Voldermort's army holds a tight grip on the whole of the wizarding world.

Worthy of a three-part episode in a TV series. Bad writing.

Harry and friends are on the run and looking for clues to help them destroy Voledmort.

Terrible writing and it's just another episode.

The magical world cowers in fear as it's recruited or picked off by Voldemort's forces.

This rides on the successes of its predecessors while technically going nowhere itself. The writing is far better, but it's an episode. You can really feel how much this movie is milking the franchise.

Harry Potter gathers his own strength in response to Voldemort.

A little more adult than its predecessors, but still badly written; bubblegum.

A murderer somehow breaks free from a maximum security prison to break into a school to hug his godson.

It's terrible writing just like the other movies, but it's watchable.

The founder of that particular wizarding school was a dick, left, and yet still founded house Slytherin. He left a dickish trap in the school to, apparently, continue to be a dick from beyond the grave.

And stuff. Don't think about it too hard. It's watchable but childish like all the others.
