Wow ----- *great* review! You covered so much of what I loved and hated about the film. Thanks! :D
I doubt I will get around to writing a review of my own anytime soon, so I'll just direct people here perhaps.
I loved Oldman as Sirius in this one, though he had not done much for me in the other films and was definitely not choice in the pre-casting days. I do wish though that there had been more of grieving!Harry (especially raging!Harry in Dumbledore's office). I thought the film rather downplayed the profound grief that Harry feels, which was disappointing. They played up the bonding and emotional connection earlier in the film, which had built my hopes up perhaps.
Anyway, thanks for sharing such detailed thoughts!
