Harry Potter.. a cinemagic experience?

Since 2001, the Harry Potter films have bewitched the minds of millions from all over the world of all ages. The Philosophers stone was a spectactular launching point for the spellbinding series, jam-packed full of action ; Quidditch matches, three headed dogs and trolls.The years have passed and as Harry grew, flying cars, fighting Dragons and duelling dark wizards, the quality and impact of special effects have heightened and blown the barriers of imagination! I have also noticed that the films have been getting more sinister, portrayed by eerie music, dark colour schemes( costumes, scenery) illustrating the progressively intense, serious nature the plot develops. Alas, I believe the earlier films to be more likeable as they appeal to a wide variety of ages, as in recent films the plot has developed depth and has become more complex. Maybe this is relevant to Harry's growth? The films are maturing according to him? Regardless, once we sit in that comfy cinema chair we are instantly catapulted into the spectatular world. Who knows what the penultimate film 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1' has to reveal? 3D experience - BRING IT ON! We must just simply sit back, relax and let our minds be BLOWN.
