Product Description
-------------------
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final
adventure in the Harry Potter film series, is a motion picture
event, told in two full-length parts. Part 1 begins as Harry, Ron
and Hermione set out on their perilous mission to track down and
destroy the horcruxes--the keys to Voldemort’s immortality. On
their own, without the guidance or protection of their
professors, the three friends must now rely on one another more
than ever. But there are dark forces in their midst that threaten
to tear them apart.
Meanwhile, the wizarding world has become a dangerous place for
all enemies of the Dark Lord. The long-feared war has be and
Voldemort’s Death Eaters seize control of the Ministry of Magic
and even Hogwarts, terrorizing and arresting anyone who might
se them. But the one prize they still seek is the one most
valuable to Voldemort: Harry Potter. The Chosen One has become
the hunted one as Voldemort’s followers look for Harry with
orders to bring him to the Dark Lord…alive.
Harry’s only hope is to find the horcruxes before Voldemort
finds him. But as he searches for clues, he uncovers an old and
almost forgotten tale--the legend of the Deathly Hallows. And if
the legend turns out to be true, it could give Voldemort the
ultimate power he seeks.

-----------
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I is a brooding,
slower-paced film than its predecessors, the result of being just
one half of the final story (the last book in the series was
split into two movies, released in theaters eight months apart).
Because the penultimate film is all buildup before the final
showdown between the teen wizard and the evil Voldemort (which
does not occur until The Deathly Hallows, Part II), Part I is a
road-trip movie, a heist film, a lot of exposition, and more
weight on its three young leads, who up until now were
sufficiently supported by a revolving door of British thesps
throughout the series. Now that all the action takes place
outside Hogwarts--no more Potions classes, Gryffindor ves, or
Quidditch matches--Daniel Radcliffe (Harry), Emma Watson
(Hermione), and Rupert Grint (Ron) shoulder the film almost
entirely on their own. After a near-al ambush by Voldemort's
Death Eaters, the three embark on a quest to find and destroy the
remaining five horcruxes (objects that store pieces of
Voldemort's soul). Fortunately, as the story gets more grave--and
parents should be warned, there are some scenes too frightening
or adult for young children--so does the intensity. David Yates,
who directed the Harry Potter films Order of the Phoenix and The
Half-Blood Prince, drags the second half a little, but right
along with some of the slower moments are some touching surprises
(Harry leading Hermione in a dance, the return of Dobby in a
totally non-annoying way). Deathly Hallows, Part I will be the
most confusing for those not familiar with the Potter lore,
particularly in the shorthand way characters and terminology
weave in and out. For the rest of us, though, watching these
characters over the last decade and saying farewell to a few
faces makes it all bittersweet that the end is near (indeed, an
early scene in which Hermione casts a spell that makes her Muggle
parents forget her existence, in case she doesn't return, is
particularly emotional). Despite its challenges, Deathly Hallows,
Part I succeeds in what it's most meant to do: whet your appetite
for the grand conclusion to the Harry Potter series. --Ellen A.
