— Critical consensus, summarised
Alfonso Cuarón's standalone-feeling installment is the franchise's critical high point — moodier, more visually inventive, and the first to take the series' darkness seriously. Critics still rank it as the best Potter film, with the Dementor and time-turner sequences as standouts.
