Fans of the book will like the movie

Rating: Null/10 (23 November 2010)

As Harry Potter turns 17, he and his pals Ron and Hermione decide to forgo their last year of school in order to finally bring an end to
Lord Voldemort whose evil has taken over the wizarding world. To do this, they must locate and destroy six Horcruxes that house parts of Voldemort's soul. He, on the other hand, is searching for three Deathly Hallows, magical items that bring immortality to their owner.
The film is exactly like the 7th book and if you loved the book, you'll love the movie. For me, the book was bloated, pointless, and poorly written so I wasn't surprised to find the movie left me cold. The kids have outgrown their youthful charm and are cranky teenagers. Special effects so dominate the film that there is little actual dialogue.
This is the first movie in the series to take place in the Muggle world instead of Hogwarts School and the fun of earlier episodes is sorely missing. Characters and scenes fly by so quickly you'll be lost if you haven't read the book. Plus, it's dreary-looking, filmed entirely in sepia, grays, and black shadows.
So, it's a faithful adaptation of the source novel; if you found that entertaining, you'll enjoy the film. I didn't.
