All in all better than the other movies =]

Rating: 7/10 (19 November 2010)

Having been a fan of the books, I was disappointed with the movie as a whole. For those who have never read the books it will be a good movie, slow at places but worth seeing. However I felt when watching the movie there didn't seem to be reasons for what they were doing, they just seemed to automatically know things, such as Gregorovitch was a wand maker. Also I thought an important part of the book was that Voldemort's horcruxes were in objects owned by the founders or that they were in places that were important to him/been to. This movie they seem to be groping in the dark and they keep repeating that the horcruxes could be anything? It just seems strange as how would they be able to find anything if they didn't know anything about them or any idea what they could be? Again with the added scenes, they could have been replaced by some scenes that they missed out in the book maybe? I mean from that movie it almost looked like Harry had feelings for Hermione. In saying all the things that was wrong with the movie there were many positive aspects as well. The movie portrayed the desperation and despair that the world was after the ministry has fallen and Voldemort has taken over. The scenes when they go to the Ministry and at Godrics Hollow were really good and the scene with Dobby at Shells Cottage was extremely well done after being such an important scene in the book, the movie did it justice. Overall the movie was worth seeing and I can't wait to see the final movie of this fantastic series...shame we have to wait till next summer for that!!!!
