Print is black and white, movies are light and shadow. The luscious, just-believable marvel of the Harry Potter franchise is that it started out as one thing (the stilted, literal Chris Columbus entries) and has blossomed into the other—thriving with incident, vivid with detail, musical with grace notes, intimate with feeling. This is what it looks like when the state-of-the-art comes together in an old-fashioned way: seamless entertainment. I exited the theater not just giddy, but greedy—grateful that there are still two more installments left to enjoy.

I chose the exact same still as Joseph to accompany my little blurb, before seeing his post. That alone speaks to the power of this movie, of these movies.
