Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Probably the best of the lot so far, even though it did cut a lot from the book. Mind you, the book had a lot of cuttable stuff, so that's not a bad thing. The film stuck to the plot well. A criticism perhaps is that the adult characters weren't really explored much, and perhaps it suffered from there being a bit too much that had to be cut out. Daniel, Rupert and Emma have really matured as actors. Other notable turns, I thought, were Evanna Lynch as Luna Lovegood and Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange.

Also, The Golden Compass (Philip Pullman tie-in due out around Xmas) looks like one to watch out for.
