Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Review

Cast: Danielle Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint

Directed by: David Yates

In this part of the 2 part series, Harry Potter looks stylish and not the disheveled young kid in his earlier movies. He establishes himself as the new sex symbol in the Deathly Hallows. Radcliffe thinks , moves and does it all in style! Teen sensation Emma Watson continues to juggle between protecting Potter and hiding her hesitance to reveal her love for Ron (Rupert Grint).  Playing a possessive boyfriend is Ron (Rupert) who gets jealousy pangs throughout as he finally concludes and accepts his romantic affection for Hermione.
With Dumbledore dead, the dark forces seize the control of the ministry of magic and Hogwarts, making the Wizarding world a dangerous place to survive.  Harry Potter will now have to do the impossible. Potter will have to kill the mighty Lord Voldemort which can only happen once he destroys his Horcruxes—the keys to Voldemort’s immortality. Voldemort hides these Horcruxes in 7 places. The final one being Harry.

Will Harry be able to find this truth and take out the Horcrux and simultaneously loose the characteristics that make him very much like the Dark Lord?

Harry, Hermione and Ron will have to leave their families and homes to set out on the perilous mission. The film then captures the trio’s quest for the horcruxes, while they play hide n seek with death and Voldemort’s dark forces. While looking for the horcruxes, Harry uncovers an old tale—the legend of the Deathly Hallows and if the legend turns out to be true, it could give Voldemort the ultimate power he seeks.

How Harry Potter, ‘the chosen one’ goes about doing what he is destined to do is what the film is all about… the beginning of the final chapter of Rowling’s best selling books, Harry’s ultimate fight with Voldemort.

As the film progresses you too start solving the jigsaw puzzle. The plot is racy, characters arresting, action scenes thrilling and cinematography chilling. The twists and turns, suspense quotient, drama and fun elements all co-exist making it one of the most gripping Harry Potter films.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I meets all the expectations you had from the most awaited final chapter of the Potter films.
