万花筒 2010-11-23&11-24 哈利波特7影评

The Deathly Hallows Part One, fans of this series may be amazed to learn there was not a single shot of Hogwarts, the magical academy where Harry¹ and his friends studied for so long. But that doesn't mean the new film represents a complete break with the past.
There is no shortage of magic in the new Harry Potter movie, which finds Harry, Hermione and Ron forced to fend² for themselves in our hostile world. These are dark times,there is no denying.
Evil Lord Voldemort is more powerful than ever. I must be the one to kill Harry Potter.
The dangers are as such that Harry must be cloned to make it harder for the villains³ to catch him. Adding to the young wizard's problems is the fact that his mentor⁴ Dumbledore is dead, leaving only a few clues to go on. Together they make the Deathly Hallows.
There are the state-of-art special effects we've come to expect in these movies, but the Deathly Hallows Part One devotes much more time and attention to the conflicts and moral dilemmas⁵ faced by the characters who were once children but are now clearly young adults.
Nobody else is going to die, not for me.
The final Harry Potter book has been split into two long movies, so less had to be cut from JK Rowling's original story. This means the new film will be satisfying for devoted⁶ fans but may be mystifying for those who are not as familiar with the material. Some knowledge of the original text is not exactly required, but it is certainly helpful.
