Harry Potter and the
Deathly Hallows Part 1


Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane
Director: David Yates

The cute spectacled lad is back in a new adventure-fantasy-drama which is the first part of the two part epic finale to the Harry Potter film series. Based on the novel by British novelist J. K. Rowling, the new flick is slightly slower than its earlier predecessors. Maybe the finale which is slated for a release this month in theatres could be the final showdown between the teen wizard and the evil Voldemort.

The plot revolves around the three young cast members Daniel Radcliffe (Harry), Emma Watson (Hermione) and Rupert Grint (Ron), who make up almost the entire movie. Harry and his mates have a near fatal ambush with Voldemort's Death Eaters, and swear to find and destroy Voldemort's power and also put an end to the remaining five horcruxes (objects that store pieces of Voldemort's soul). The three friends have no one but themselves to fend for and rely on, but the Dark Forces that surround them try to tear them apart. Harry is the most hunted one and the Death Eaters want him alive to hand him over to Voldermort.

Towards the end of the film, the trio learns about the symbol seen several times on their journey and in Hermione's book. The symbol represents the quest for the Deathly Hallows, the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone and the Cloak of Invisibility.

Some memorable scenes include the three wheeled motor bike aerial shots, the six lovable Harry Potter decoys, Harry and Hermione in a dance and the sweet looking elves and Griphook the goblin.

DVD 2 has loads of extras including The Seven Harrys, recreating the personalities of different characters that transform into Harrys, On the Green with Rupert, Tom, Oliver and James: Rupert Grint, Tom Felton (playing Draco Malfoy), Oliver Phelps (playing George Weasley) and James Phelps (playing Fred Weasley) discuss their 10-year friendship and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1: Behind the Soundtrack.
