With the U.S. presidential election finally over, we can turn our attention to more important things — the biggest films of 2009. And, according to the London Times newspaper, there are plenty of big ones coming out next year. Here are what the paper’s reviewers believe will be the top five movies of the year.

1) Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (July) Harry Potter fans will already have a fairly good idea of what happens in this, the sixth film in the hugely popular boy wizard film adapted from JK Rowling’s all-conquering books. It was an early script draft of this film that prompted Rowling to ‘out’ Dumbledore while promoting the final Potter book.

2) Public Enemies (July) Starring Christian Bale and Johnny Depp

3) Star Trek (May) Starring Winona Ryder as Spock’s mom

4) Watchmen (March) Alan Moore’s superlative comic book comes to the big screen

5) X-Men Origins: Wolverine (May) Hugh Jackman’s back
