It’s a turn that will undoubtedly leave movie fans of a certain generation feeling the same about the wizard formally known as Tom Riddle as the one prior might have felt about Lord Vader (pre “NOOOOOOOOOOOO” of course). More death follows this time round, as well as torture – that is implied at least – with a performance from Ralph Fiennes as Potter nemesis Lord Voldemort at the (dark) heart of it all. It is, quite literally, the beginning of the end, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 is as dark as fantasy-cinema-disguised-as-kids-cinema has ever come – which is impressive work considering the beloved Dumbledore actually died in the last one. as it is to loyal fans of the franchise, I’ll concede that there’s little about the content of this tee up movie that will leave fans feeling short changed. Split over two movies ( Part 1 opens this evening, Part 2 follows next summer), while I can’t help feeling like the drawn-out conclusion to the most lucrative film franchise ever is as much a gift to the money men of Warner Bros.
