Harry Potter e as Relíquias da Morte - Parte 1 (2010)

I've been really looking forward to watching this film. Book 7 is my favorite Harry Potter book so being able to see it on film is really exciting. I was satisfied. I know I won't see everything that I read in the movie although there were some parts wherein I wished I saw it like the goodbye of the Dursleys to Harry. It made me tear up while reading the book but I didn't really see it in the film. Also, the way how Hedwig died in the film did not make that big of an impact. I was surprised though in the part where Harry and Hermione kissed. It was in the book but in the movie, they were naked! I was really surprised. And then Hermione looks gorgeous as always and Harry looked good in the movie too. The part where Harry and Hermione danced was not in the book but I liked that part. Harry looked cute for me in that part.


All in all, I was satisfied. I'm looking forward to watch the next part and I can't wait. My rate for this movie is A.

Since their inception with the "Philisopher's Stone" (2001) I have really enjoyed the series that depicts the trials and tribulations of the "boy wizard" and his two best pals, and this last, but one, episode in their adventures is super. It's no longer a cheesy, children's franchise - but a dark, gritty and thoughtful piece of work from David Yates that really does convey some of the sinister and malevolent aspects of JK Rowling's book. Harry, Ron and Hermione are all but grown up - whether they are old enough, or not - and with their friends and allies must now prepare for the final battle with "Voldemort". This involves the seeking out and destruction of the crucial horcruxes that each contain a part of the life-force of their evil foe. The writing is taut, as is the direction - the personalities of the three characters we have followed for the last 9 years have developed into plausible people - with quirks, strengths, weaknesses - and (sadly) even romantic tendencies. It's fantastic cinema, with captivating visual effects, characterisations and a much more mature storyline that deals with both triumph and disaster using a superb ensemble cast drawn from amongst the best actors who all contribute to build a real sense of unity and jeopardy ahead of part 2.... One for the big screen, definitely...

I love the Harry Potter movie series. Watched them all again and the first 4 were brilliant but really felt the last few were not up to standard. The Deathly Hallows was definately too long and should not have been a two part movie, they tried to captilize on the last film for financial reasons and that spoilt the movie. But it was great to see all the characters again, and the visual effects were amazing and the story was solid. Not surprising as some of the previous ones but good.
