Actors: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Allen Rickman, Helen Bonham Carter, Ralph Fiennes
Rating: 7 out of 10, brooding movie that starts out really well with the first half of the movie containing lots of action and plot movement. That comes to a screeching halt once the three main characters end up in a tent for most of the second half of the movie. This is probably a result of telling only half of the final story. I was expecting this next to last film to do more of buildup before the final showdown between Harry and Voldemort. I really felt the impact of not knowing the Potter lore most in this movie because some of the movie characters were totally undeveloped but were apparently very important. My biggest problem was that, at a time they are supposed to be gearing up for this immense battle they spend most of their time wandering around some of the more scenic sites of Great Britain. They are then easily captured by some idiots and subsequently escape with ease from one of Voledmort's most heinous lieutenants. This movie falls almost entirely on the trio of young actors without their normal supporting cast of accomplished actors; they do well but struggle to carry the whole movie.
MVP: Watson really shines in this movie as Hermione, becoming the glue that holds the trio of leads together
