Harry Potter 7 PT 2 ‘Like A War Film’

There’s been a fair few comments surrounding Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and its perceived lack of direction and pace in terms of plot. Other criticism is there wasn’t enough set-pieces and most of the movie was spent inside a tent in various locales across the UK.

But was David Yates cleverly building up the calm before the storm? Daniel Radcliffe definitely thinks so. As fans we can expect distinct styles for Parts 1 and 2: drama for the first, and for the sweet pay-off: high action. The man who pretends he’s Potter said this to press agency Reuters:


“The last movie is going to be really, really fast-paced and a load of action in it, and it is like a war film. If we had done this book in one film, the stuff that would have got cut is most of this film.”
