But romance is also on the agenda as relationships deepen between Harry and Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright), and Hermione and Ron. Rhys Ifans joins the celebrated cast as eccentric wizard Xenophilius Lovegood (father of Luna) who helps them unravel the mystery of the Deathly Hallows. A self-confessed Potter nut, the director asked author JK Rowling for permission to add in a Death Eater scene that was not in the book, to ramp up the cinematic action. This time so much of the action takes place in the outside world that Radcliffe has even called Deathly Hallows a "road movie".īritish director David Yates - who also helmed the fifth movie, as well as the sixth and most commercially successful (Half-Blood Prince) - has said this one is edgier and "cooler" than earlier Potter outings: cracks are starting to appear in the bond between the teenagers who are on their own as they struggle to destroy the horcruxes (the objects contain fragments of the soul and can be used to resurrect a dead person) without the help of dear departed Dumbledore. With the wizard trio grappling with the challenges of independence as they try to defeat the Dark Lord, Yates believes the latest installment in the Warner Bros franchise will appeal to older kids and young adults, as well as capture its traditional family audience.įor moviegoers who have grown up with Harry, now is their chance to get to the bottom of some of the secrets that have dominated his life.Įxpect lots of filming with a hand-held camera and and chilling new sets as Harry and friends venture beyond the school's confines. It's true that every Potter film has been heralded as "darker" and "more complex" than its predecessor, but Deathly Hallows marks the first time that Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint) leave the familiar surroundings of Hogwarts in pursuit of the mysterious horcruxes, which hold the key to the evil powers of Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes). And if the release of the penultimate movie, Deathly Hallows: Part 1, is causing even more excitement than ever, it is partly because this Potter outing is a definite departure from the others.
If at first there were groans at the news that the last film of the Harry Potter books would be split into two parts, now there is relief that it's not yet all over.
