Movie Review – Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1
The first part of the last Harry Potter novel is the darkest Harry Potter movie yet. In spite of belonging to fantasy/adventure genre with a primarily young fan following, the movie has been rated PG-13 by MPAA for violent scenes, frightening images, scenes involving blood, and also some sensuality – the famous Daniel, Emma kiss, both apparently naked. With a production budget of $250,000,000, it is one of the most expensive of the new movies to hit the cinema halls. As of January 2, 2011, the movie has grossed $283,533,215 in the US alone. Read on to find more about Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows movie review and movie plot.

Lord Voldemort, played by Ralph Fiennes, is back to his strongest and the magical world has fallen into anarchy. Young Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) along with his friends, Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and Ronald Weasley (Rupert Grint), are the only chance that the magical world has to defeat the dark forces. The ups and downs of relationships at the times of great stress and gloom are one of the underlying themes of the movie. The challenge for the trio, in this movie, is to remain unaffected by personal turmoil and face the evil forces bravely. As the prophecy goes, only one of the two (Harry and Voldemort) will survive, Harry and his friends strive to seek and destroy all the bits of Lord Voldemort’s soul, hidden in inanimate objects, to make him a mortal man.

I have read the series and this was so much fun to watch it come alive on screen. This first part of this film was great, but for those who don’t read the books, you haven’t seen anything yet! C’mon part 2!
