Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows hit theaters on November 19th 2010 grossing 61.2 million dollars opening day in the United States alone. I went to see the movie the day after with my little sister and a few family friends, and i must say that i was pleasantly surprised. I have seen the other 6 movies and this one by far was the best. First and foremost, this movie was a lot darker than the others with a definite sense of desperation in the air. This proves that the movie has reached a wider audience and not just little kids or nerds like myself. I know many of you haven't seen the movie yet so i won't give too much away.
The premise of the film is as old as time itself and has to deal with the battle of good vs evil. Yes, we've heard that story before but that didn't stop the film from making 205 million dollars in its first weekend. But lets get on with the film.
It's cloudy in the wizard world and it looks like rain. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was in fact one book written by J.K. Rowling, however it is made into two films. The first part deals mainly with both the side of good and evil preparing for war. Each side is making the necessary preparations in order to readily equip themselves for an inevitable battle. The three main characters from the good side are Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermoine Granger. Each of them have their own strengths and each of them are on a quest to destroy objects known as Horcruxes. The Horcruxes were created by the leader of the bad side who's name is Lord Voldemort. Essentially these Horcruxes allow the creator to split their soul in an attempt to remain invincible or cheat death. When a horcrux becomes destroyed, it allows the creator to become closer to death. The evil side is preparing for the war by trying to find something known as the Deathly Hallows, when one holds the Deathly Hallows they become a master of death. That is the basic plot of the movie, each side is trying to obtain or destroy things that will enable them to win the war.
I thought the movie was the best of the other movies in the series and one thing i liked about it is that you don't really need to see the films or know the back story to enjoy it. I recommend you go watch it, this film earned a 3 1/2 out of 4 stars.
