    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Pt 1

    Saw the midnight showing and as you might not know, I'm kind of a fan of the series.

    Up until this point, I've been very pleased with how the movies have progressed but this particular movie left me kind of cold. The special effects are typical and very cool but the story line more or less sucks.

    Spoiler alert:

    The movie starts out with all the kids abandoning their muggle families and erasing the kids from their memories. The reason is, Voldimort and the Death Eaters are out capturing, torturing and killing them off.

    They have to move Harry because he's still a juvenile and therefore, can still be tracked by scent.

    Mad-Eye dies shortly after the beginning.

    Snape is seen for about all of 5 minutes throughout the whole movie.

    Lucious Malfoy looks like he needs some Ensure.

    Draco Malfoy looks like he's suffering from heroin withdrawal, both in physical stature and acting ability.

    The kids end up searching for the remaining Hulcrux's that Voldimort created, they found the one but couldn't destroy it.

    Ron is the same dork he's been all along, gets into a jealous rage, almost loses his left arm [along with Harmoiny] and of his twin brothers, one gets a hole in hes head during the initial attack scene.

    Harmoiny isn't nearly as hot as the tabloids make her out to be and Nymphadora got even 'manlier' looking.

    Dobey dies at the end.

    At the very end, Voldimort acquires Dumbledor's wand, rumored to be the most powerful and ever created - and made by Death himself.

        I saw the midnight showing as well, but I really did like it. You've got to look at it as a "part 1" movie ... it's not a complete book.

        Spoiler alert:

        The movie does move slow at points, but this is to elaborate on the despair that the three go through while being cut off from the rest of the world.

        They have to move Harry without magic in the beginning because he doesn't turn 17 until the day before school begins. Once he turns 17 he loses his underage "trace", which could have been used by the deatheaters to track him if he transported by magical means.

        Hermione is just as hot as the tabloids make her out to be; just not the "make-up on, hair done, dressed up" kind of hot. Honestly though, if they made her look like a rock star throughout in order to boost the sex appeal, they would have lost the identification with the hopelessness the kids were going through.

        I kept in mind the entire time that this was a "part 1" movie, meaning I didn't expect any huge battle scenes or showdowns. Also, I kept in mind that no movie ever compares to the book, and the Harry Potter series is no different. All in all, I think it's a very fitting chapter in the movie release schedule.

          everything in the movie was almost like it was in my head.

          i liked the 3 brothers scene.
