Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow Part 1

Information

I went to the film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1. David Yates has produced the film. The leading players are: Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint). I saw it in the cinema with Gideon. Review The trouble with Harry, as becomes clear from this seventh and penultimate installment, is not that we have lost the plot -- the film is as tangled and as corkscrewed as Bonham Carter's hair -- but that we are in danger of losing everything else. By: anthony Lane Top Critic in New York Structure The film is set in many different places because it’s a search for the deathly hallows, but of course Hogwarts, the school of the three wizards, returned in this movie. The actors were dressed in black clothes. They wear outside school regular clothes but in Hogwarts they often wear black robes with their department mentioned. You’ve got Gryffindor, hufflepuff, ravenclaw and slytherin. Harry Hermoine and Ron are in Gryffindor. The clothes and the locations were all very scary, dark and had something secret in it. So only that made it already scary and exciting. Alexandre Desplat was hired to compose the score for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. Desplat composed throughout the summer of 2010 and the recording sessions began on 14 August with the London Symphony Orchestra. The supervising orchestrator on Deathly Hallows, Conrad Pope, (also one of the orchestrators on the first three Potter films) collaborated with Desplat and commented that the music is "exciting and vigorous" and "those who love melodies, harmonies and emotions in their film scores should be pleased. In the whole movie you hear music. Also with every different emotion or places you heard another structure in the music which made you feel the movie more. The film was told in chronological order. They started in Hogwarts found out about the horcruxes which they had to find to kill Lord Voldemort. So they started the search to the seven horcruxes: 1. Tom Riddle's Diary 2. Marvolo Gaunt's Ring 3. Slytherin's Locket 4. Helga Hufflepuff's Cup 5. The Diadem of Rowena Ravenclaw

6. (unknown to Voldemort) Harry Potter himself. 7. Nagini the snake Without knowing they already destroyed a few. I can remember the whole movie but the most memorable scene was the part that dobby (the elf of the Malfoy family who helped Harry Potter) died. It was very sad and the camera was zoomed first to dobby and then to his best friend, Harry Potter. Harry was very angry and sad about it and you could really feel the emotion. I think the film is a science friction and adventure film.

Content Harry has finally come of age, and finally started on his final journey to defeat Voldemort for good. The Durselys are forced to go into hiding so that Voldemort’s Death Eaters will not torture them for information, and Harry sets off with Ron and Hermione on a difficult quest to find and destroy the last of Voldemort’s Horcruxes. Only once those have been destroyed, Harry knows, can Voldemort truly be killed. It’s not easy. Harry is plagued with rumors of Dumbledore’s past, and begins to wonder if the Headmaster he so long revered might have had a much darker past than he ever let on. The three are frequently without food, and with winter coming their journey is no day at the beach. Because of their lack of plan, lack of food, and lack of progress, their spirits are often low, and Ron especially becomes argumentative. One night he and Harry get into an epic fight and Ron leaves to go back home. Harry and Hermione are devastated that he’d abandoned them. They finally decide to revisit Godric’s Hollow in search of clues, and once again they’re almost caught by Voldemort. Every step they make, it seems, he is there anticipating them. They’ve almost died too many times to count, and their spirits sink even lower when Harry discovers his wand was broken in the battle. Ron redeems himself a few weeks later by coming back and saving Harry’s life in the nick of time. They manage to destroy another Horcrux with Gryffindor’s sword, and they become excited again as they begin to learn about a mysterious trio of magical objects called the Deathly Hallows.

Whomever possesses the three objects will be a master of death, and to Harry, it’s his one chance to beat Voldemort and live to tell the tale. As his adventures and the danger he’s in increases, Harry begins to truly understand what Dumbledore intended him to do. He realizes, almost at the last minute, that his own life will have to be sacrificed in order for Voldemort to truly be vanquished. Filled with love for his friends, he willingly gives his life so that they may live. His last act of heroism, however, saves his life. He meets Dumbledore again in death, and Dumbledore answers many of his questions. He is given a choice to stay or to go back, and he chooses to go back and fight. It’s all over between Harry and Voldemort with just one spell. Harry is left alive, the true master of the Hallows, and Voldemort is killed for good. He now understands more than he ever has about love, and life, and sacrifice, and in spite of the loss of many of his friends during the last battle, is grateful for the second chance he’s been given at life, and love.

The main aim in the movie is to destroy all the horcruxes. Because of that there are all different emotions playing. Harry Potter is the protagonist of the film. The whole story exist because of him. Harry lost his parents on the age of one by Lord Voldemort. He survived the deathly spell: evada kedavra. Since the spell he’s marked with a scar on his forehead in the shape of a thunderbolt. Harry lives until his 12th year with the Dursleys (a boring muggle family) who avoid magic. At the night Harry turns into the age of twelve, the giant Hagrid saves him from the terrible family. Since then he follows lessons at Hogwarts. Hermione Granger is one of the best friends from Harry. She got muggle parents, but is always the best of the class. In the first and second year she’s a gigantic dork but later on in the third and fourth year it changes. There isn’t anything known about her past. Ron is part of the Weasley family who are destitute. He is one of seven children. And must always compete with his 5 older brothers and his one year younger sister. He is Harry's best friend, and always continue to support him. Except in the fourth book, when they were fighting. Ron comes from a wizard family, where no one muggle occurs

First they are best friend and later on Ron Weasley and Herione Granger fall in love. They are wizards who compete against Lord Voldemort. I most commiserate with Harry Potter because you know all of his feelings and he’s followed everywhere. If the three friend splits, the film always follows Harry.

Function The films are an adaption of the books of J.K. Rowling. It’s mostly just for amusement. The aim is very good succeed. The writer and the producer of the book and movie holds the audience by the story line and the repeating excitement. My reaction: When I went to the seventh movie from Harry Potter I thought it was like all the other ones, and because of the two parts I thought it was confusing. It was a repeating of the other films but it was extraordinaire, I was fully concentrated to the movie. It was one of the most beautiful films I’ve ever seen. As I said earlier the death of Dobby really affected me. The film was very beautiful because of the highly attention to the decoration and the actors. The actors really living in their roll. You understand their feeling by the expression and the way they react on things. It almost feel like they are real.
