It’s hard to fault this film for the turgid story upon which it is based. In fact, the film actually excises a lot of the cruft. But even stripped to the bones very little actually happens to further the story.
★★★
Returning for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts, Harry is stunned to find that his warnings about the return of Lord Voldemort have been ignored. Left with no choice, Harry takes matters into his own hands, training a small group of students – dubbed 'Dumbledore's Army' – to defend themselves against the dark arts.
