Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1


Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 is the 7th film in the Potter franchise, with the very last one due to be released in July. It follows Harry, Ron and Hermione as they try and track down and destroy Lord Voldemort's horcruxes. If you don't know what any of that means, then shame on you. I can't possibly explain it all here.

It's a wonderfully dark film, and is very different to the previous films in the series. No Hogwarts for instance and there is a large chunk of the movie which just follows the trio as they move from one secluded place to another and not much else happens. I think this really helps the viewer to understand the isolation, uneasiness and loneliness that the characters feel.

There are some great comedic moments too, my favourite being in the Ministry of Magic when the trio have to pretend to be ministry staff. Look out for a brilliant animated sequence too.

The soundtrack is wonderful, the acting is great and it's just a wonderful film that everyone can enjoy. Yes, even you people that haven't read the books. Just make sure you've watched the previous Potter movies though, as you won't have a bloody clue what's going on.

10/10
