It’s darker! it’s probably a bit better! It reminds STS of the time our Uncle Dave dropped his Patronus at a wedding (the police arrived shortly afterwards). It’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part one, (hereafter referred to in it’s easy-to-remember acronymic form HPATDHPO) and from the looks of this..well, it’ll be alright, like.

Even though you know what’s coming, the latest chapter in the HP saga still manages to appeal and enthrall by dint of an all pervading sense of menace throughout. It’s a huge cliché to say that each film is darker than the last, but here the villains – often played previously as pantomime moustache-twirlers – finally blossom into genuine threats, their evil casual and malicious and all the better for it. Throughout, there’s a real feeling that any of the leads could perish in an instant and despite Rowling’s occasional use of magic to neatly sidestep painting herself into a corner (Ron’s poisoning a case in point), fans hardened and casual will find some genuine, edge-of-seat moments to enjoy here.
