The features of "Harry Potter" film series are good acting, captivating music, exciting characters, wonderful special effects, dark colours and unexpected deaths.

Well, in this part most magicians and students suppose that Harry and Dumbledore are liars as they confirm the return of Lord Voldemort - it's exciting to watch how yesterday heroes must prove their title. But it's so sad that one of my favourite character, Sirius Black played by Gary Oldman, is dead... because of his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange preformed by amazing and eccentric Helena Bonham Carter. As for Imelda Staunton's Dolores Umbridge, I didn't like the character from the beginning and that was a good sign: when an actor or actress may make me be annoyed it demonstrates me a talent.

Quotations
* * *
Dolores Umbridge: Please, tell them I mean no harm.
Harry Potter: Sorry, Professor, but I must not tell lies.
* * *
Ron Weasley: Hermione, you are honestly the most wonderful person I have ever met. If I'm ever rude to you...
Hermione Granger: I'll know you've gone back to normal.
* * *
Harry Potter: This is mad. Who'd want to be taught by me? I'm a nutter, remember?
Ron Weasley: Look on the bright side. You can't be any worse than old toad face.
Harry Potter: Thanks, Ron.
Ron Weasley: I'm here for you, mate.
* * *
Rubeus Hagrid: It's changing out there. Just like last time. There's a storm coming, Harry. And we all best be ready when she does.
* * *
Hermione Granger: That foul, evil old gargoyle! We're not learn how to defend ourselves, we're not learning how to pass our O.W.L.s. She's taking over the entire school!
* * *
Sirius Black: The latest intelligence is that Fudge doesn't want you trained in combat.
Ron Weasley: Combat? What does he think, that we're forming some sort of wizard army?
Sirius Black: That's exactly what he thinks. That Dumbledore is assembling his own forces to take on the Ministry. He's becoming more paranoid by the minute. The others wouldn't want me telling you this, Harry, but things aren't going at all well with the Order. Fudge is blocking the truth at every turn, and these disappearances are just how it started before. Voldemort is on the move.
* * *
Lord Voldemort: I need that prophecy.
Sirius Black: You'll have to kill me.
Lord Voldemort: Oh, I will.
* * *
Sirius Black: We think Voldemort wants to build up his army again.
[everyone turns to look at Sirius]
Sirius Black: Fourteen years ago he had huge numbers at his command, not just witches and wizards but all manner of dark creatures. He has been recruiting heavily and we have been attempting to do the same. But gathering followers isn't all he's interested in...
[Moody coughs loudly from the corner]
Sirius Black: We believe Voldemort may be after something...
Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody: Sirius!
Sirius Black: Something he didn't have last time.
Harry Potter: You mean, like a weapon?
[Sirius opens his mouth to speak]
Mrs. Weasley: No! That's enough! He's just a boy, you say much more and you might as well induct him into the Order straight away.
Harry Potter: Good! I want to join! If Voldemort's raising an army then I want to fight!
* * *
Harry Potter: What are you doing?
Hermione Granger: Improvising.
* * *
Bellatrix Lestrange: [singing] I killed Sirius Black!
* * *
Dolores Umbridge: Predict something.
Sybil Trelawney: Erm. You... are in great danger!
Dolores Umbridge: Lovely!
* * *
Harry Potter: I'm not weak!
Severus Snape: Then prove it!
* * *
Severus Snape: Discipline your mind!
* * *
Severus Snape: It appears there is a connection between the Dark Lord's mind and your own. Whether he is, as yet, aware of this connection is for the moment unclear. Pray he remains ignorant.
Harry Potter: You mean if he knows about it then, he'll be able to read my mind.
Severus Snape: Read it, control it, unhinge it. In the past it was often the Dark Lord's pleasure to invade the minds of his victims, creating visions designed to torture them into madness. Only after extracting the last exquisite ounce of agony, only when he had them litterly begging for death would he finally... kill them. Used properly, the power of Occlumency will help shield you from access or influence. In these lessons I will attempt to penetrate your mind. You will attempt to resist. Prepare yourself! Legillimens!
* * *
Bellatrix Lestrange: Avada Kedavra!
* * *
Draco Malfoy: I'm surprised the Ministry's still letting you walk around free, Potter. You better enjoy it while you can. I expect there's a cell in Azkaban with your name on it.
* * *
Lucius Malfoy: Did you actually believe, or are you truly naïve enough to think that children stood a chance against us? I'll make this simple for you, Potter. Give me the prophecy now, or watch your friends die.
Neville Longbottom: Don't give it to him, Harry!
* * *
Harry Potter: Sirius, what are you doing here? If somebody sees you...
Sirius Black: I had to see you off, didn't I? What's life without a little risk?
Harry Potter: I just don't want to see you get shut back in Azkaban.
* * *
Albus Dumbledore: It was foolish of you to come here tonight, Tom. The Aurors are on their way.
Lord Voldemort: By which time I shall be gone, and you... shall be dead!
* * *
Hermione Granger: [after her faux pas about Luna's name] So... that's an interesting necklace.
Luna Lovegood: It's a charm actually. It keeps away the Nargles.
[awkward silence]
Luna Lovegood: Hungry. I hope they have pudding.
[the carriage starts rolling]
Neville Longbottom: [whispering] What's a Nargle?
Hermione Granger: [whispering] No idea.
* * *
Uncle Vernon Dursley: I've reached my limit, do you hear? This is the last I'm gonna take of you and your nonsense!
* * *
Dolores Umbridge: Progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged.
