Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Are you ready for suspense? Humour mixed with dark, moody scenes? Then take a trip to watch the latest Harry Potter movie. The magic has continued with the seventh and second last Harry Potter movie. The series of seven Harry Potter books were all strong and Warner Brothers has matched the feat with a seventh strong movie based on the book.
This movie is darker than the previous movies. This is understandable with what has happened to Dumbledore, Harry’s great protector. The holy trio of Ron, Hermione and Harry must now find their own way and defeat the one who cannot be named. Things look bleak for our heroes and most of the movie is shot with dark lighting the matches the mood. Even the wedding is a dark occasion. The movie will leave the viewer hanging, and the conclusion to the book and the series will have to wait for the next movie.
Most mature fans of Harry Potter will enjoy this movie. The action is slower paced than previous movies, but some startling scenes will keep the viewer on the edge of her seat. The characters are true to the book and the movie makers have done a wonderful job of re-creating the imaginative scenery described in the book. Some sad and poignant scenes are found in this movie, which is quite a contrast from the enchanting first movie Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Viewers expecting action, laughs and enchantment will be disappointed by this film, but readers of the books will appreciate the serious and mature treatment given to the first half of the last book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
