New York Magazine (Vulture)
For all its portentousness, this is the best Harry Potter picture yet. In some ways, it improves on J.K. Rowling’s novel, which is punishingly protracted and builds to a climactic wand-off better seen than read.

New York Daily News
It's action-packed, darker, more epic and thankfully schmaltz-free. And it's the best "Harry Potter" film yet.

Time
Not just a ripping yarn but a powerful, poignant coming-of-age story.

Rolling Stone
It will hook you good and keep you riveted.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Yet, as good as it is in so many ways, there's no getting around the fact that this briefest Harry and first directed by an unknown filmmaker (David Yates) is the least substantial of the bunch.

Empire
It won't win new fans, but as Potter movies go, this is the most filmic of the lot, suspenseful and action-packed.
70
Variety
Considerably grimmer and grittier than the previous pictures.

The Hollywood Reporter
"Phoenix" might go down as the problematic film, full of plot but little fun.
