The long gone Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) has left them clues and, as virtually everyone knows, this adventure ends at the mid-way point allowing for the second film to close out our 10-year history with Harry Potter in July 2011.
There is a secret to stopping Voldemort, essentially it involves our heroes tracking down the various pieces of Voldemort's shattered and widely distributed soul before it is too late. Somehow, they have survived their encounters with Lord Voldemort up until now but an early meeting of the Ministry of Magic makes it clear that Lord Voldemort is going to stop at nothing to ensure their death. Suffice it to say that Harry, Hermione and Ron are on the run for much of this film, hiding in a variety of locations and caring for the safety of their families. It seems rather ridiculous to attempt to explain the plot of Harry Potter 7, yes I've tired of writing out the whole thing, given that the majority of you who will be attending the film could likely poke holes in any description and will undoubtedly know what's going to happen long before you enter the theater. Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) and his Death Eaters are closing in on our trio and, as those familiar with the final book will tell you, this final Potter adventure is filled with significantly more adventure, a darker tone, a higher death toll and a virtual kaleidoscope of characters from Potter adventures past and present. Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint) are in the real world now, a first for the Harry Potter films as the majority of Potter's adventures in this film take place outside the safety zone of Hogwarts and in a very real world that suddenly makes our youngsters seem a lot more grown up and a lot more vulnerable than ever before. So, if you're standing there in line for your first Harry Potter film right now at 8:00 pm the night before the film opens killing time on your smartphone, I highly suggest you move your tail out of line and head on home to witness Potter's earlier adventures before trying to make sense of this, the first of the two-part Potter swansong. This film is made for those who have devoured each and every book, perhaps several times, and who have seen every film, know every character and who can appreciate every nuance of the Harry Potter journey.
While you'll likely appreciate the special effects, film techniques and well developed characters, Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows, Part 1 is a film truly made for Harry Potter connoisseurs. If Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows, Part 1 is your first venture into the world of Harry Potter, what are you thinking? Are you mad?
