Today is a double dose since I didn't blog yesterday so to make up for it I will be recommending the final Two films that make up the last Harry Potter book. Personally I loved the whole series and strongly recommend watching the series as a whole. But rather than talk about all 8 films I will discuss the two films that make up the films conclusion (as spoiler free as possible).
The Deathly Hallows Part 1 is a departure from the rest of the Potter films. It is a darker and slower paced film than anything else before it. The 3 main characters Harry, Ron, and Hermione are out on their own in an extremely dangerous world with next to no clue as to who to trust.
The film was criticized for being too slow but personally I felt that the film was perfectly paced in that it matched the pace of the first part of the book, which does have some big set pieces including the beginning of the film which helps set up the danger that the three must face.
The relationship between the three leads is the centerpiece of the film and it is a relationship that is tested heavily. They are three teens trying to save the world from it's worst threat that it has ever faced. They are angry, sad, and desperately trying to cling onto whatever feeling of youth and love that they can.
Both films have a character that takes you by surprise in them. In Part 1 that character is Dobby who creates some of the most memorable scenes in the film.
Deathly Hallows Part 1 is a great character drama that has you on edge the whole time. It is a film that sets up the dark nature of this once friendly world and is a perfect setup to the final film.
I loved the scene where Harry and Hermoine danced.
