Part 1 of the final Harry Potter book the Deathly Hallows, darkness has descended upon the world, the evil lord Voldemort has captured the Ministry of Magic and ultimate power is within his grasp but somewhere out there, Harry, Ron and Hermione are racing to destroy the sacred Horcruxes and end his reign of evil.
After the plodding dullness that was the last HP film the Half Blood Prince, Deathly Hallows 7A captures a tone of darkness and despair rarely seen in a blockbuster, you truly get the sense that no one, nowhere is safe from the evil that plagues the world, in a way it reminds you of the Two Towers which had a similar feeling of darkness and dread, of a world where evil has real power and good men can do nothing.
But as for our valiant heroes, all three actors have really grown in confidence of their roles, Emma Watson in particular who shows real strength in the face of near overwhelming odds, but they all go on in their quest knowing that they must do all they can to defeat evil once and for all.
All in all, part of a tale that is worth your time but the battle is not yet over, one more remains, 4 out of 5.

I agree with most of the review - you're right that the actors have certainly come into their own, and that the tone is wonderfully, at times bravely dark. But HALF-BLOOD PRINCE, boring? It's my favourite of the series!!!
Any thoughts on PART 2, if you've seen it yet?
