On Wednesdays, we preview all of the upcoming new wide and limited releases hitting the theaters the coming weekend. On Fridays, we’ll now tell you what you should see. We pose two questions each week to our contributors and their responses are posted below.

Wesley Lovell

1. Which of the two new wide releases would you choose to recommend above the others?
Hands-down Harry Potter. If you’ve seen the previous seven films in the theater, then you’d better check out the eighth.
2. Are there any limited release features this week that you would recommend (and why)?
My choice would be Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, but there are several films opening this weekend that could be interesting.

Peter J. Patrick

1. Which of the two new wide releases would you choose to recommend above the others?
The last chapter in the Harry Potter saga. It’s what everyone else will be seeing next week, right?
2. Are there any limited release features this week that you would recommend (and why)?
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan promises a fascinating story from the always welcome Wayne Wang.

Tripp Burton

1. Which of the two new wide releases would you choose to recommend above the others?
Both look like great family films, although Harry Potter only for families with older children.
2. Are there any limited release features this week that you would recommend (and why)?
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan could be a return to form for Wayne Wang after years of making second-tier studio films.
