This is the first part to the conclusion of the Harry Potter series. I decided that I had to start by watching this one first-how could I see one part and wait on the other until I finished the other films. This film begins on a dark note. It begins with the Ministry of Magic in an uproar trying to protect it's wizard/Witch citizen's. Dumbledore has departed and left various items to Harry and his friends. Without any solid advice Harry and his friends are sent out to find the remaining Horcruxes and destroy them.
This part is as loyal as it can be to the novels. It makes subtle changes to better fit reel time. The acting really pulls out the emotional build-up that the story plot creates. The effects are well placed, and subtle. They add emphasis to the story rather than take away from it. There isn't much humor in this story-it's kept to a minimum. However, placing this one with part 2 opens up a few extra plot holes that weren't in the story-some of the plot holes are answered in the deleted scene's but not in the movie. Tonk's surprise isn't announced, or explained to clarify in either part of the series. This film is great as a build-up, but it does move at a slow pace. Which only makes it more confusing for part 2. As a stand alone film, its great. This film doesn't have too much action-just enough so that it works for the film.
I give this film a 10 out of 10 stars. This film creates a great build-up for the sequel. It also, as a stand alone film, contains a great heartfelt story.
Now for the film trivia question. Good luck! Last blog's Answer: A stone, a cloak, and a wand.
