Critical And Viewer Responses To Harry Potter 7
Parimal
,
Harry Potter was a big name back when there were only books, and now that there is an almost-complete movie series, it is an even bigger name. The latest movie, Harry Potter 7, is called The Deathly Hallows Part One, and was released to a US audience in November 2010. Critical and viewer responses were generally positive, though there were the occasional naysayers.
Given that previous Potter movies have ranged from the relatively light-hearted adventures of an eleven year old Harry to the recent dark and disturbing Half-Blood Prince, The Deathly Hallows had a choice to continue in the dark and devastating vein of the wizarding world's war, or to return to lighter days. In keeping with the books, it chose to stick with a dark tone as it tells the compelling story of the days leading up to the final battles of the war in author J. K. Rowling's wizarding world.
Given that the series is seven films in, the fact that it is difficult or impossible to comprehend without knowing the previous storyline is a given. But there would hardly be time to put an extensive recap in any of the films, and still fill in all the necessary plot points. As well as being practical, the fact that each film builds on the previous ones is true to the books, too.
Critics responded mostly positively to the acting by the three main leads and many auxiliary characters. Given the youth of the actors involved, the stirring performance was all the more extraordinary, if not unexpected. The previous six films had already assured most viewers that there was no lack of talent among the young Potter cast.
The main complaints among critics and viewers alike have to do with the fact that this is part one of a two part movie. The storyline is unfinished, and this first film contains a lot of set-up. While it is mostly true to the book and necessary for the plot twists of the second part, for some people, it seems to have felt stagnant at times.
As a war consumes the wizarding world and affects more and more of the main characters' lives, the angst factor does climb, and the scenes spent pondering or anguishing about their situation pile on. Superbly done as they are by the cast, some viewers and critics found these scenes to be long, tedious, and far too numerous. Others argue that they contribute importantly to the dark and thoughtful tone of the movie.
Pacing is always a contentious issue. Some people feel that it is too slow at the same time that others feel it is too fast. Deathly Hallows incorporates an action-packed beginning and end, with a slower, more thoughtful middle portion. Some people applauded this choice, while other found it intolerably fast or slow. More people were concerned with the slowing, than the speed. The pacing is quite authentic to the book, however.
Most people who enjoyed the previous films with like Harry Potter 7. And those that were disappointed with lapses of movie canon away from book canon will be quite happy with this segment. There are always detractors for a film this big, but the overall reception was mostly positive.
