Movie Review - Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – Part 1

Title: Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – Part 1

Year Of Release: 2011

Review Date: June 30, 2011

Rating: PG-13

Running time: 146 minutes

Box Office Gross: $954,501,070

Site Rating: 0 out of 10 stars

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1" is the seventh film in the series. The movie is about a wizard named Harry Potter and his friends, who are pursued by sorcerers.

Each Harry Potter film seems to get darker, which is ironic, as its main audience is comprised of children. Many of the book readings held at stores, are mostly frequented by children and their parents as well.

This film was no different and it is the stuff nightmares are made of, which makes one question the sense in providing such ghoulish imagery to kids. The plot revolves around a stolen wand being sought as a means to kill Harry Potter, which is not a wholesome image for its core audience.

The special effects were slightly above average, but the actual film was dark as well, literally, as in poorly lit and on purpose to create a menacing mood. However, it only created eye strain during certain scenes of this ungodly tale.

Harry Potter Actress In Attempted Honor Killing - Part 2


Harry Potter

According to reports, Harry Potter film actress, Afshan Azad, is having second thoughts about continuing with charges against her dad and brother, for assault, in an attempted honor killing that occurred in their Manchester, England home.

Afshan Azad

Victims are often torn over the prospect of sending family members to prison, when attempted or honor killings occur in the Muslim religion. Islam places next to no value on women and those that disobey its tenets, are thought to bring shame on the family, in acts worthy of death, to allegedly restore the clan's reputation and honor.

Western authorities simply do not know how to deal with such issues, as they provoke an incendiary response from Muslims. However, when one moves to a new country, one must learn to integrate and observe the laws of the land.

Harry Potter Actress In Attempted Honor Killing

Harry Potter

"Harry Potter" actress, Afshan Azad, was assaulted and almost killed by her Muslim dad and brother, during an attempted honor killing, where she was the victim. The incident occurred in their Manchester, England home, after they discovered she was dating a Hindu man.

It is very ironic that appearing in a film with witchcraft, which Islam forbids, is apparently okay in her family, but dating a Hindu man is not. Warner Bros is not happy with the negative press surrounding this story, as the latest installment in the "Harry Potter" film franchise is due shortly.

Honor killings among Muslims in Britain have been on the rise, presenting a very difficult challenge for authorities, as most who know of the plots within families, refuse to speak about forthcoming crimes. Sometimes, victims are not believed as well, creating a horrible home environment.

Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince

Title: Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince

Year Of Release: 2009

Review Date: June 30, 2010

Rating: PG-13

Running time: 153 minutes

Box Office Gross: $933,959,197

Site Rating: 2 out of 10 stars

"Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince" is the six movie in the film series that sprang from the dark mind of J.K. Rowling, whose works a judge once labeled "Gibberish." Harry Potter, played by Daniel Radcliffe, finds a book of magic spells belonging to the "Half Blood Prince" and begins to use it, breeding trouble.

For a film generally marketed to small kids and teens, it certainly was violent, bloody and dark. Scenes of ungodly witchcraft permeate this film, as that is the entire concept of Harry Potter. It is easy to dismiss it as just a film, but so many of the scenes interspersed among the school banter, is not healthy for its audience's psyche. The devil is in the details.

Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe Hates Homophobes


The misguided star of the "Harry Potter" films, Daniel Radcliffe, stated to a gay magazine, he hates all homophobes, as he grew up around homosexuals. You're gay aren't you. A member of the booty brigade. Just kidding.

Considering most religions, such as Christianity and Islam, forbid homosexuality, labeling it sin, that means you hate a few BILLION people, dear Daniel.

Why can't we agree to disagree. As a Christian, I do not agree with homosexuality, but I don't hate gays either.

Therefore, why are you, as a supposedly "tolerant" person, as the term goes, hating others that don't share your views. It is rather uncivil.

Harry Potter and the Liberal Democrats

Mr Radcliffe, who is dating actress Larua O'Toole, also told the gay publication how he was brought up surrounded by homosexuals.

He said: 'I just loathe homophobia. It's just disgusting and animal and stupid and it's just thick people who can't get their heads around it and are just scared.

'I grew up around gay people entirely. I was the only child in my class who had any experience of homosexuality or anything like that.'
