The guys take their shirts off a few too many times, and there's a lot of running through the woods. Young leads Daniel "Harry" Radcliffe, Rupert "Ron" Grint (looking surprisingly whiskery) and Emma "Hermione" Watson (looking very much like she's getting out of the plucky-young-girl racket just in time) do a lot of moping around, worrying about who likes who.

But no, Deathly Hallows: Part 1 comes to a crashing, random halt, like a nanny who's decided she's read enough tonight, and now it's time to take our castor oil and turn out the lights - even though she stopped reading just when the story was finally getting interesting.įor the record, Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is a handsome half-a-film, with spectacular special effects, one or two truly dizzying chase scenes and some lovely scenery shot in England and Wales.
