Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1

I love the Harry Potter books series, and I've seen all the movies so far. It was only natural that I went to see the latest installment, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 (Part 2 comes out in July 2011). It's not bad. It keeps getting darker, and I really wondered with this one whether I'd be happy for my kids to see it. The movie is far more graphic than the books and I felt a little uneasy with some of the scenes. The film reminded me that I had found the first part of the book too slow. I am referring to the part where Harry, Hermione and Ron spend time in a tent in the middle of nowhere, trying to hide from their chasers. The dymamics between the three of them is interesting, but it goes on for far too long and becomes a little tedious. As a consequence, the "tent part" in the movie is long too and slightly boring. I think the film could have been shorter; I would have enjoyed it more.
