"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.
