Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1

THE GIST: Lord Voldemort's power keeps growing as he now controls both the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts. Harry Potter is hunted by Death Eaters so, together with best friends Ron and Hermione, decides to complete Dumbledore's quest of retrieving and destroying the remaining Horcruxes, which are the key to Voldemort's immortality.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is the initial adaptation of the final book in the Potter series. Our heroes have grown into young adults now, and understand the risks they have to undertake to prevail in the battle of good vs. evil.

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson have by this point become accomplished actors and wholly inhabit their roles.

Bill Nighy, Michelle Fairley, Domhnall Gleeson, Miranda Richardson, and Rhys Ifans join the brilliant and sprawling cast.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Naturally, if you've been watching till now, this is a must-see. A very good opening for the final goodbyes.

Grade: 8
