Trust Harry. He is our last hope.

Many reviews for Deathly Hallows, Part 1 have been circulating in papers, magazines, and on the web over the past few days. (The reviews have been rather great!) One particular review stands out, and that is the one that appeared today in USA Today. The review, titled "A Magical Beginning to the End" poses to the reader the following:

“Menacing and meditative, Hallows is arguably the best installment of the planned eight-film franchise, though audiences who haven't kept up with previous chapters will be hopelessly lost. Not that the film is worried about your memory. If anything, director David Yates hopes to test it. Hallows features a few pop quizzes: What creature sat in the corner the first time Harry went to see professor Remus Lupin? What were the last words Albus Dumbledore spoke to Lupin and Minister Kingsley Shacklebolt? If you can't answer either question, you may want to bone up on your reading or viewing materials; the movie isn't waiting for you."

Well, USA Today, I do know the answers to those questions. It was a grindylow in a tank that sat in the corner when Harry went to visit Professor Lupin. And, the last words Albus Dumbledore said to Lupin and Shacklebolt were..."Trust Harry. He is our last hope."

Bam.

Ron and Harry's Argument

With Part 1 set to open in just 11 days, there are a bunch of new clips and commercials popping up on television and over the web. One that stood out for me was the full scene of Harry and Ron's argument in the tent (below). This is a pivotal point in Deathly Hallows, one that had readers wondering for chapters how and when the trio would reunite and what implications the huge fight between these two best friends would have. Fortunately, all turned out well once Ron returned and saved Harry's life and, as evident from the Epilogue, their bond turned stronger than ever. Check out this powerful scene below. Oh, and definitely plan to bring tissues with you on November 19th!
