Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 - Review.


This wasn't the first time I had watched this movie and it won't be the last. This first half of the final Harry Potter film (*cries*) was certainly emotional and entertaining. 

As Harry found out in The Half Blood Prince (film that was made before this) he has to find and destroy Horcruxes to finally defeat Lord Voldemort and he and his friends set off on a race against time to find them. They then discover the three most powerful objects in the wizarding world, The Deathly Hallows. Seeing some familiar faces as well as finding out about new characters and their backgrounds. 

(The Deathly Hallows book along with the Author, J.K Rowling.)

Throughout the Harry Potter films the directors have changed from Chris Columbus, Alfonso CuarĂ³n, Mike Newell and David Yates. I personally don't have a preference as I think that all the films are successful so far, however I do think David Yates has put a better edge on the films as he didn't cut as much out, which was good for all the fans who read the books first.

If, like me, you are a big Harry Potter fan, you won't be disappointed at this film as it lives up to its expectations and it doesn't cut as much out from the book as the others have. The film is gripping, emotional and funny at some points. It definitely leaves you wanting more and teary eyed. If by any chance you are not a Harry Potter fan then I don't recommend you see this film, as it could be confusing by the new characters and if you haven't seen any of the films before, or read any of the books, you won't understand. This film shouldn't of been broken up into two parts because I can't stand the wait until July for the second half to be released but when that day comes, I hope to see some of you queuing to get into the screening. I'll be the one in fake glasses, a cloak and a drawn on scar. 

Rating: *****
