why is the movie going darker and darker???

Actually the fifth part was really dark. In some moments i had problems distinguishing what is happening, especially in Hogwarts

It is not the directors fault. It is the story and people loved the stoty

is it getting darker visually or you are referring to the story that gets darker and darker? If it's getting darker visually, maybe there is simply poor lighting effects... LOL! Maybe, it has to be clear as sunlight at the beginning since Voldemort's power has not yet completely risen. Well, if it's the second one, it is simply because the casts are growing older and are rightful to act darker than when they were younger. If the audience are fourteen years old and younger, they cant watch darker stories... The audience are older now than before so they can absorb the intensity of each scenes. Also, Voldemort's power is getting stronger so the movies just have to show us that. And the trio are learning more spells now, so the fighting scenes are more challenging than before. The target audience are us, the fans who grew up with Harry Potter. I'm sure we don't want to watch Harry doing nothing special or risky right?

I saw this the other day and I wondered the same thing because I thought they were done with the Harry Potter movies and just had one where he is all grown up, I don't read or watch the movies just what I observe from commercials. I thought I saw Harry Potter young again in this new one and I didn't get it because the special effects even scared me and I LIKED it but it doesnt look like its made for the audience it started with and just assumed that whoever is in charge is trying a different more adult audience to keep the ball rolling, Im no Harry Potter fan so you all probably know a lot more than me but this new one appeals to me because I like scary movies but I had a hard time buying that even 50% would be like that so Im looking to see articles to confirm what I was thinking, that it is catered toward adults, that one special effect I saw in a commercial for it reminded me of The ring.

I think we all noticed the same thing. I really wish they had kept the same director throughtout the series. It bugs me that things look so differently each movie, like Hagrid's hut. Number 3 especially had all these weird artsy elements like the big cogwheels the camera kepts shooting through. And the characters wear normal clothes instead of robes and hats. I think the directors are getting darker and darker because the plot is getting darker, but I think they've gone overboard. There's still plenty of lightness and humor in all the stories. Doing it the way they have just makes it so many younger children won't be able to see the movie, thus many families can't enjoy the movies together. If they had kept it more like movies 1 & 2, all ages could have enjoyed them. Just my opinion. Sorry for the rant.

Maybe because the plot is getting darker and darker with each book, so it's like that in the movie. It's like their way of showing how dark and deep the story becomes, visually.
