| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 |
Having been an utterly crazed Harry Potter fan in my early teenage, the first movies have always been fantabulous in my eyes. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows part 1 (couldn't sound any worse) is the first Potter movie I've seen through unfangirl-eyes. It became clearer than ever that the movies survives purely because of the HP hype itself and the fans of the book.
In this first part of the grande finale, the world is darker and more dangerous than ever before (isn't it always?) with muggle lovers getting murdered, death eater attack in Piccadilly Circus, people being obducted from left to right. Harry, Ron and Hermione have now abandoned Hogwarts to embark on their great journey to search and destroy the horcruxes (items containing pieces of Lord Voldemort's soul). Flung out of their safety zone, they are not only exposed to evil appearing-disappearing kidnappers but also the madness that only comes when people camp together for 4 months straight.
Failing to convince me of the actual danger of the situation, the movie could neither attain my interest for 2 and a half hour. Why they thought it was necessary to have Harry and Hermione dance utterly awkwardly, was and still is beyond my comprehension. The movies doesn't throughly explain why the trio had to camp and wait around, without which it simply looks like our heroic group think they're able to randomly stumble upon a horcrux by camping around.
Although most of the movie was spent on showing how the trio get on each other nerves while camping, the movie is actually fairly exciting.
