The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A-
"indisputably the best movie in the franchise thus far."
Austin American-Statesman: 3 of 5 stars
"(The film's) most compelling magic isn't in its muddled plot, its mermaids and grindylows, or its flying carriages or sinking ships, but in its detailed and moving portraits of Harry and his friends growing up."
The Palm Beach Post: B+
"(Director Mike) Newell fills the screen with bold, horrific images that bring the story to life with maximum visual impact."
