This is not a book review, I know...
I did go see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows over the weekend.
Awesome movie.
I have thought for a while now that the first Deathly Hallows movie was one of the best out of that franchise in a while. The second Deathly Hallows movie lived up to the promise of the first.
If you haven't seen the movie yet, I'm not going to ruin it for you here. I will say that you might want to watch Part 1 again before you see Part 2. Part 2 picks up exactly where Part 1 ended. And, if it's been a year since you saw Part 1, you are going to have a moment of "What?" before you remember what is going on.
I thought that the director did a great job of keeping the movie close to the story. It's not exactly true to the story. It does deviate in places. That does have to happen in the interest of storytelling when you are making a written story into a visual story.
One word of note - there is violence in this movie. There is death in this movie. There are some disturbing images in this movie. This is NOT a movie for young children. If you have a child easily scared, this isn't for them. If you want to see the movie, but think you'd like to drag your young child along so you don't look like an idiot going to see a child's movie by yourself- hire a babysitter, and look like an idiot. I can honestly say that we saw no young children in our showing. (We were at a matinee.) The youngest kids I saw in the audience were older teenagers.
Mischief Managed.
