However, that is merely one task on the Dark Lords agenda. Infiltrating the Ministry of Magic, his followers are able to move forward with their plans to remove all but the pureblooded from the ranks of the world of witches and wizards.

So instead of preparing to return for his seventh year at Hogwarts School, Harry’s friends are attempting to help him find a safe hiding place. Now, the death of Professor Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) has the young wizard’s life in even more danger. With each installment in the series, Harry Potter’s (Daniel Radcliffe) circumstances have become increasingly dire.

Considering the size of the book, this choice seems a good one-if not for the increased profit potential, then at least to prevent too lengthy of a sit in the theater! Fans of the series will also appreciate the extra time this approach affords moviemakers to adapt the finer details of her plot. Rowling’s franchise comes to the big screen, executives at Warner Brothers Studios made the decision to present her tale in two parts. There are things in this film which don't add anything to this film but are either payed of or are reversed in the next film which is an issue that all two part films seem to have and while I don't blame the films for this but all of them could have taken more care to make sure that the first half of the two part finale doesn't feel like set up for the second half.As the final tome in J.K. This film does suffer from the same problem that all two part films suffer from and will likely always suffer from and that's the fact that this film is nothing but set up for the next film. What made the ending so intense for me isn't the fact that we hear Hermione being tortured it's the fact that we are seeing a character that we've had a lot of time to get to know being put through this pain and that right there makes all the difference if this kind of scene happened in the earlier films it wouldn't have worked that well because we don't know the character that much but because we have had the time to get to know the character the scene is now more effective. If your going to have a film this long then there needs to be alot of exciting stuff in the film to keep audiences interested which sadly there isn't in this film it's mainly just characters walking and talking which is fine every once in a while but when it's the majority of the film then it becomes a big issue in my opinion.Īgain in what I think is a brave move they actually make this film pretty intense and scary near the end of the film i'm not going to say it's on the levels of say the original A Nightmare On Elm Street but for something which here in the UK is rated 12 it gets really intense. The running time for this film is something that I kind of take issue with since it's almost two and a half hours and alot of that time is spent with the characters just visiting various locations which really isn't exciting at all.

This came from this film and while this film had the excuse of adapting a book with alot of story the other films from what I can tell don't have that same excuse. Now I said at the start of this review that this film changed the game when it came to the final film in a YA film franchise and it's true it did because every YA final film after this was then split up into two half's regardless of if there was the story there to support two films.

In terms of what I thought about the acting all of the actors really did do a good job here and while alot of the people I credited don't get much screen time they still do deliver a good performance which is something we ll see more of in the next and final film. Now I know that there are alot more actors in this film however to keep myself from going even more insane I cut it down to only a few however like what the makers of Avengers: Endgame did I will be crediting those who didn't get credit in the next review. Also starring in the film is the late Sir John Hurt as Garrick Ollivander , Rhys Ifans as Xenophilius Lovegood, Bonnie Wright as Ginny Weasley, Matthew Lewis as Neville Longbottom , Evanna Lynch as Luna Lovegood, the late Richard Griffiths as Vernon Dursley, Fiona Shaw as Petunia Dursley, Harry Melling as Dudley Dursley, Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort and Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange. Of course starring as the trio are Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter , Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger.
