Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their perilous mission to track down and destroy the secret to Voldemort’s immortality and destruction—the Horcruxes. On their own, without the guidance of their professors or the protection of Professor Dumbledore, the three friends must now rely on one another more than ever. But there are Dark Forces in their midst that threaten to tear them apart.

It’s nice to know that there is more than a few filmmakers out there in the world who are more than familiar with the term flogging a dead horse because that would be the only reason why Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been split into two separate movies. It would also seem that the producers were unaware of the length of the Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. I will be honest and admit it the only reason why I went to see this movie was to see how the film franchise ended, I am going to have to learn that there are times when it is actually a good thing to ignore that sense of curiosity. Director David Yates successfully managed to drop and trip over the ball when it came to his approach to The Death Hallows. Especially if you take into consideration the film’s almost snail like pace and lacklustre performances , which left me asking myself “when will this fucking film end” by the final third of the movie unfortunately there is about a year till we see the ‘real’ end of the Deathly Hallows.
